Streams are up in airplay markets! “Harding’s velvet-soft sound is a bedding for a gifted weapon-of-a-voice” - NPR Toured the US in April, many shows sold out in advance American Songwriter calls the new Stray Cats album a “great time” “As the most successful of the three Stray Cats, guitarist, vocalist and frontman Brian Setzer didn’t need to reform the band to celebrate its 40th anniversary. And if you want to get picky, they haven’t been a working unit for 40 years anyway, since Setzer, bassist Lee Rocker and cocktail-kit drummer Slim Jim Phantom have all spent most of the last few decades in various solo projects. This is actually the three- some’s first album of original material in 26 years, making it more of a reunion than an anniversary. So much for 40 years together. But trifling details aside, 2019 marks four decades since the trio blew out of Massapequa, Long Island headed for the UK, where they made an initial splash on the burgeoning rockabilly revival. They then headed home to the States to find brief fame and fortune as a burgeoning MTV channel played their colorful videos in heavy rotation circa 1982. Surely no one was expecting the Stray Cats of 2019 to radically, or even nominally, reinvent their stark, greasy ‘50s/‘60s rocking. So what we get on 40 is exactly that — a dozen tunes that could just as well have been on their 1981 debut. You may not have heard the exact lyrics to clichéd song titles like “Rock It Off,” “Mean Pickin’ Mama” or “That’s Messed Up” before, but you’ve certainly heard these riffs in dozens of other rockabilly classics from their idols Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry and of course a young, strapping Elvis. Regardless, this is a rollicking, toe-tapping, finger-snapping great time. The sound is bigger and fuller than you’d think possible for a stripped-down threesome, the playing is as energized as it was all those decades ago, and Setzer’s voice has matured into a tough, sturdy vehicle for it all to ride on. The band shifts their attack slightly for a Spaghetti Western-styled instrumental “Desperado” that combines Link Wray’s thunder with the James Bond theme’s spy reverb for a stunning one-off that effectively breaks up some of the sameness of the rest of the material. The Cats strut in a harder direction for “I Attract Trouble,” keeping the basic format but infusing it into a swamp-rocking template. And even when it’s business as usual on “I’ll Be Looking Out for You,” it’s clear that Setzer is twice the guitarist he used to be as he shoots out sizzling leads with snarling ferocity. Okay, so they aren’t reinventing the wheels to their musically souped-up hot rod. The Stray Cats remain a well-oiled machine, as super charged in 2019 as they were 40 years earlier. If this is their final road rally, they’re going out in style.” - American Songwriter, May 21 2019 NME says that SOAK’s new album has “15 exquisite tracks” “All aboard a journey into memory and melancholia – Bridie Monds-Watson’s second album is a comforting ride through self-discovery and stellar pop tunes ‘Grim Town’ is about two spaces – one physical, one psychological. In part it’s a paean to extraordinarily gifted 22-year-old songwriter Bridie Monds-Watson’s hometown of Derry (like many of us, she has a love-hate relationship with the site of her formative years), while the title more specifically refers to a melancholic state of mind. “If something’s a bit shit, me and my friends say ‘it’s grim town’”, she told Noisey. Yet her second album is an absolute joy. This is lush indie-pop, glimmering with jewel-like synth arrangements and aching piano re- frains. “Let’s be honest / I’m a work-in-progress” she beams on ‘Life Trainee’, an upbeat ode to getting it wrong. “I used to be so sure before,” she sings later, “I realised I knew nothing at all.” We’ve all been there. Elsewhere, on lead single ‘Knock Me Off My Feet’, Monds-Watson pairs a similarly jubilant acoustic-based track (interrupted with a freewheeling guitar solo) with the emotionally on-point lyrics: “I’ve always done the best I can / To get out of my neighbourhood… But you’re still my home / You stay within my bones.” She worked on the album having crash-landed back in Derry after she toured her first record, 2015’s Mercury nominated ‘Before We Forgot How to Dream’. “All my memories came to haunt me,” she recently told The Times. The first track, a spoken-word dispatch from her grandfather, lays out the concept: “Welcome aboard… the 4.32 to Grim Town… Please note: this train is for the following category of passengers only – recipients of Universal Credit and minimum wage; the lonely; the disenfranchised…” And so the list goes on. It’s a neat conceit that immediately establishes the warm, familiar tone that permeates record. There’s a ‘80s pop flavour throughout: the joyous ‘Déjà vu’, for instance, perhaps shares some DNA with Belinda Carlisle’s ‘Heaven Is A Place On Earth’ (which can only be a good thing) and the brassy ‘Maybe’ is an instant highlight. Monds-Watson has said that ‘Grim Town’ is twinned with ‘Happyville’ – precisely where you’ll disembark after 15 exquisite tracks.” - NME, April 25 2019 Coming up... 6/10: Pete Yorn “Calm Down,” Chris Shiflett “Welcome To Your First Heartache”... 6/17: Ryan Bingham, *repeat repeat... 6/24: Matt Costa...
