Bloody better! I've come out my sick bed to post this. Anyway, before you get your free EP, here's what they each had to say about their tracks...
1. IndianRedLopez - Life Back In Me (demo) (Kicking things off this month with a brilliant new demo from one of my favourite bands of the year. Short, but amazing!)
"It's just a demo that Darren and I did in a morning. He had this really nice arpeggiating keyboard line, and a few other lines that he wanted to work on. It happened quite naturally really. We're chiseling it out now, but I think the intent is there." - Mike Chang (IndianRedLopez)
2. Rose Parade - Midnight Wine (...closely followed by another! This'll whet your appetite until they release their debut album.)
"Midnight Wine is going to be the first song on our debut album! The song is about a relationship between two people that is falling apart, bad habits and the dark art of recovering from these situations. It was recorded and produced by Paul Gallagher in June 2011. For more tracks, gigs and updates check our Facebook page here as we will be coming to a basement near you very soon!" - Rose Parade x
3. Graveyard Tapes - Bloodbridge (Ghosts version) (A stunning track from Edinburgh's Graveyard Tapes featuring a certain, übertalented, ex-Kays Lavelle frontman.)
"Graveyard Tapes is Euan McMeeken and Matthew Collings. The pair met when Matthew moved from Iceland to Edinburgh in 2010. Coming from very different musical backgrounds but sharing a love of many of the same artists the pair have been working together on recordings ever since. Approximately 16 tracks are currently in various states of disrepair with the duo working towards a 2012 release." - Euan McMeeken (Graveyard Tapes)
4. Minor Delilah - All I Ever Wanted (an amazing track from their debut EP... available now from all good online download stockists.)
" 'All I Ever Wanted' is a song written in praise of the underdog and anyone who despite all the doubters looks at themselves in the eye and says fuck it I am going to do this" - Nick Scroggie (Minor Delilah)
5. Jack James - Top Of The Hill (An exclusive track from Jack's upcoming third album Leaving Town. On the back of this and his other free track, it's gonna be great!)
"Top of the Hill appears on my 3rd album which is coming out next month. The song, and also a large part of the new album, is about escapism. The track is also quite sparse, although there's pretty much a full band there of acoustic guitar, bass, banjo and drums. Like all my songs though, it starts out with a single guitar and vocal take that I then build around, only adding extra parts when necessary." - Jack James
Not bad eh?? Well, as always, the EP is free for you to download and do with what you will... presumably listen to. So head on over to my bandcamp page now to get your download. There's 16 more while you're at it. Enjoy!
Next month, on the 16th, there'll be more of the same. Maybe even a Christmas song thrown in for good measure. If you'd like to design the artwork, fire over your entry (at least 350px by 350px) to kowalskiy2@gmail.com by the 13th December. Best of luck!
