Shownotes
This week's episode packs quite the musical journey. From psychedelic storytelling and sharp-witted songwriting to punk-rock energy and stadium-sized ambition, we've got another trio of brilliant emerging artists ready for your ears.
As always, Jim Salveson sits down with three exciting new acts to find out more about their story, their inspiration and (of course) their latest tunes. This week;
Eyal Pik: London-based, Israeli-born singer-songwriter Eyal Pik creates colourful psych-pop that sits somewhere between Britpop, 60s rock 'n' roll and modern indie storytelling. Blending sharp observations, infectious melodies and more than a little psychedelic charm; Think Bob Dylan wandering into a late-night Camden jam session with The Kinks. Lovely stuff.
The Certs: Four lads from Surrey bringing a punchy indie-punk energy that feels refreshingly free of gimmicks. Built around raw live performances, hook-filled songwriting and a healthy respect for classic rock 'n' roll, The Certs have quickly built a reputation for sell-out local shows and fast-rising momentum. Loud, youthful and absolutely no messing about.
Seven Streets: Armed with huge riffs, soaring melodies and the sort of anthemic sound that recalls the best of Stereophonics and Cast, Steven Streets are already building a sizeable buzz around Merseyside. Big songs, big ambition and the kind of tunes made for singing back at festival stages.
