Beans on Toast – Humans
Beans has just released his new album, Survival of the Friendliest, and Humans is the latest single from the album.
It’s a wonderfully mellow song that Beans describes as ‘a song about humans, nature, awe, wonder ... and unicorns’.
The whole album is worth checking out, as its full of quality song-writing and positivity. If you fancy hearing some of the songs performed live, he is on
an extensive UK tour at the moment, which includes a visit to Reading’s Facebar on Tuesday, December 14 – https://beansontoastmusic.com/
Ocean Ruins – Teen Drama
Here’s a melodic alt rock band from Reading who have released a string of singles, including this one that came out in the summer. If you missed it then, it’s well worth a listen, with its uplifting sing-along chorus and great vocal delivery from singer and guitarist Kate Herridge.
They performed live at both Are You Listening? festival and Loddfest recently, and hopefully they will be doing more shows in 2022. Sounds like they are worth checking out when they do – https:// www.facebook.com/OceanRuins
