Elucidate – Take It
It’s great to see so many of the bands that we’ve featured in the last year or two progressing well and here’s a great example.
It’s the new single from Elucidate, a Readingbased Alt-Rock band, and it’s an exciting song that opens with a cool drum groove before powering along with a driving rhythm section, great riff, and energetic emotive vocals.
We saw them last year at Loddfest and, following that, we are definitely looking forward to their appearance at Wokingham Fesival in August – linktr. ee/ElucidateUK
Jo Bartlett – I Waited A Year
Did you know that someone from Sandhurst helped to start the legendary Green Man Festival?
Did you know that she was also part of an acclaimed electronic folk duo, It’s Jo & Danny, and, did you know that she has just released a very good solo single? How impressive is all of that?
Well it’s all very impressive and it’s Jo Bartlett with her new single and its wonderful stuff with its mellow synth pop feel and personal lyrics. We hear Jo is working on an album so watch out for that – linktr.ee/jobartlett
Who Ate All The Crayons – Alive
This Reading band say that they have ‘perfected the balance of not taking life too seriously but serious enough that their tunes lay heavy in your minds’.
That’s very true judging by their new single that has melodies and a vocal performance that will definitely seep into your brain.
They regularly play live locally and will be supporting Deva St.John on April 20 at her BBC Introducing Purple Turtle show.
They will also be appearing at Wokingham Festival later this year – https://linktr.ee/ whoateallthecrayons
