“End Scene opens with the words ‘here we go,’ which suggests that we’re getting ready to kick off the album and the song. But it goes beyond that. It’s the deep breath you take before diving into the unknown. Out of your comfort zone, out of your daily routine. It’s the start of something new and chaotic. It’s about gracefully embracing your fate instead of resisting it. Facing it calmly, clearheaded, focusing on what is in front of you. It’s a close encounter with the end of the world, while knowing that there will be something afterwards,” explains the artist. Boldly spanning 6 minutes and 30 seconds, the single – which has Holubowski credited for the lyrics, music, co-production, guitars, synths, and vocals of course – is divided into three distinct movements. The first part highlights how vast the work of a lifetime can be, each moment stacking up to form who we are. The next part depicts the ease with which everything can vanish. Existence is inherently fragile. And the final part facilitates the transition from chaos to serenity, with the knowledge that the end is not only inevitable, but also desirable. “End Scene” offers a complete, complex statement, with interconnecting ideas, as well as the title of the upcoming new album somewhere in the first verse, an enjoyable detail.

With her latest single, ‘Mixed Signals’, rising star Jessica Lynn steps out of her native territory of Modern Country with sass and confidence aplenty into lively rock and pop with added soul. Like a boss. No wonder that American Songwriter labeled her as “genre-defying”!

“As a native New Yorker,” said the influential magazine, “the artist’s foundational country is heavily laced with rock and blues edges, as well as tinges of pop and soul.” Furthermore, “Artistic Echos” puts Lynn “at the forefront of the new generation of country singer/songwriters but also in the forefront of artists of any genre.”

Increasingly, Jessica’s reach and appeal also stretch afield to rock-loving audiences. Proof of that was seen and heard when Jessica played Ramblin’ Man’s Outlaw Country— her first performance at a Rock festival —where her cover of AC/DC’s ‘You Shook Me All Night Long’ set the whole tent rocking, as did her own songs and stagecraft!

that music truly can be a calling he says “I haven’t chosen to do this, it’s just in my DNA.”

If you’ve joined the dots between Liam’s surname and his place of birth you may think he’s onto something with his point about DNA. Either way his earthy, honest and optimistic songs showcase an artist more than capable of standing on his own two feet, with extraordinary new single Love Will Conquer just a small taste of what’s to come.

Mining from a rich seam of artists like Richard Hawley, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and John Martyn alongside the heritage of Newcastle history that’s scattered behind him; Liam Fender’s music is genuine, intuitive, articulate and interesting, much like the man behind the music. Liam describes his music as post-industrial romance. “My music’s deeply rooted in where I’m from: it comes from a real place,” he adds. “There’s a distinct sense of a bygone era, but in all that you find real people, real voices and real stories.”

Marcelo de la Vega is the antithesis of toxic masculinity, which he pours into everything he touches as he pushes boundaries and expectations in his visuals and storytelling. His writing is a navigation of his experiences and observations of relationships, family, gender norms, drug use, and privilege. A ‘typical’ scene for those growing up in the new millennium.

Never resting on their laurels and constantly striving to challenge perceptions of the band, Reverend

and the Makers have become one of the enduring and great survivors of the British music scene.

With a career spanning two decades Jon McClure and his collective of musicians burst onto the scene

with their Top 5 charting debut album, ‘The State of Things’. The album spawned the UK top 10 single

“Heavyweight Champion of the World”. The five albums since have seen the band move through

several incarnations, sounds and line ups and experience all the highs, and most of the lows, that the

music industry has to offer. Each album has reached the Top 20 of the UK album charts, an

impressive unbroken run of six albums. These albums have seen them cut across a creative

spectrum, ranging from collective efforts to the frontman’s singular visions. Instead, The Makers is

more a sobriquet, a statement of intent, a commitment and a guiding principle that has seen

McClure consistently strive to build, innovate and grow musically and artistically. The Reverend’s

story is one of the great survival stories of the music industry as charisma, talent, defiance and sheer

willpower sees the band start a new chapter reenergized and raring to go. With a point to prove,

with ‘Heatwave In The Cold North’, Reverend And The Makers set about the task in hand armed to

the teeth with an arsenal of their biggest, best and most accessible and ambitious songs to date.
