<p data-start="103" data-end="371"><em><strong data-start="103" data-end="121">NMR - This new release from Robin kicks off with a laid back close up acoustic guitar arangement, giving that " in the room " vibe.</strong></em></p>
<p data-start="103" data-end="371"><em><strong data-start="103" data-end="121">The vocal is smooth and sits nicely in the mix, with the lyric melody floating across the guitar chords, the added double track and harmony is well placed and providing a lift in dynamics here and there.</strong></em></p>
<p data-start="103" data-end="371"><em><strong data-start="103" data-end="121">I interpret the lyrics as telling the tale of moving on from a relationship that isnt working, something many folks will identify with Im sure.</strong></em></p>
<p data-start="103" data-end="371"><em><strong data-start="103" data-end="121">Overall the song is fairly low key, but melodic, the lyrics will connect with listeners, the mix and production suits the groove nicely.</strong></em></p>

<p><strong data-start="212" data-end="229">About -</strong></p>
<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><span>Robin Smith Williams is a Sheffield-based indie-folk and alternative singer-songwriter whose music explores the emotional landscape of ordinary life.</span></p>
<p><span>With guitar and piano at the heart of his songwriting, Robin creates intimate, melodic songs centred around relationships, change, memory, loss and hope. His music sits comfortably between the warmth of acoustic folk songwriting and the broader textures of alternative music, with a strong emphasis on lyrics, melody and emotional honesty.</span></p>
<p><span>Rather than chasing a single sound, Robin's songwriting is driven by the story each song needs to tell. Some tracks are stripped back and conversational, while others build into something much larger. Across them all is a fascination with the small moments of life that can carry much bigger feelings — the conversations we remember, the people we miss, the places we leave behind and the experiences that change how we see ourselves moving forward.</span></p>
<p><span>Based in Sheffield, Robin has been writing songs for many years and continues to build a growing catalogue of original material. His current focus is on recording and releasing that backlog of songs consistently, creating a steady stream of new music while developing the visual and storytelling world around each release.</span></p>
<p><span>For Robin, music is ultimately about connection. A good song doesn't necessarily need to explain everything. Sometimes it simply needs to make someone feel understood, make them remember something they had forgotten, or allow them to hear their own experience reflected back at them by an outsider looking in.</span></p>
<p><span>Robin's aim is simple: to make songs that mean something.</span></p>

<p><strong data-start="212" data-end="229">About -</strong></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>The Marches return this October with </span><em><span>Faultline</span></em><span>, a bold and emotionally charged four-track EP that captures the band at their most urgent, vulnerable, and creatively fearless. Recorded after a year marked by growing momentum and transformation, the Glasgow rock outfit pushes further into the space between fragility and force, blending soaring melodies, sharp-edged guitars, and their trademark lyrical honesty.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>At its core, </span><em><span>Faultline</span></em><span> unfolds as a single emotional journey — one that shakes, reshapes, and ultimately forces self-reflection.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>The EP opens with “Struck to the Heart,” a rush of infatuation laced with subtle warning signs, where falling hard feels as thrilling as it is dangerous. “The Habit” follows, diving into the cycle of returning to what hurts — repeating patterns that feel impossible to break. On “Be Cool,” the tone shifts into a moment of clarity, capturing the quiet act of convincing yourself you’re fine, even when you’re not — a subtle rebellion against the version of yourself that stayed too long. Closing track “Concrete Into Dust” delivers release, as the relationship unravels, behaviours shift, and the aftermath becomes the foundation for something new — growth, acceptance, and the first breath of freedom.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Across </span><em><span>Faultline</span></em><span>, The Marches lean into the fractures that shape us — the moments where pressure reveals truth and breaking points become turning points. Sonically, the EP balances atmospheric restraint with explosive release, weaving shimmering guitars, dynamic percussion, and vocals that shift between raw vulnerability and commanding intensity.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Following a run of sold-out headline shows, festival appearances, and national radio support, </span><em><span>Faultline</span></em><span> marks another decisive step for a band rapidly emerging as one of Scotland’s most compelling new voices. With its emotional depth and melodic ambition, the EP sets the stage for their most impactful chapter yet.</span></p>
<p><em><span>Faultline</span></em><span> will be available on all major streaming platforms this October. The band will also headline a hometown show at Garage Attic on 14th November 2026.</span></p>

<p><strong data-start="212" data-end="229">About -</strong></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>“Whistlin’-Along” marks the debut of new studio material from The Sedonas since 2022, kicking off what promises to be a busy run of releases throughout 2026.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Drawing heavy inspiration from the band’s touring experiences with Dwight Yoakam, the single blends country and rock influences while exploring themes of perseverance and authenticity.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Guitarist Ryan Sise plays a key role in shaping the track, contributing as both producer and performer. Notably, the song features a rare acoustic guitar solo — a stylistic departure from the band’s usual sound — adding a fresh dimension to their evolving musical identity.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>The title “Whistlin’-Along” reflects both forward momentum and the prominent whistling woven throughout the track. Complementing this is the drummer’s use of a classic “train beat,” reinforcing the song’s sense of movement and journey.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>The single will be available across all major streaming and download platforms, accompanied by a short video shared via the band’s social channels. The video captures The Sedonas recording the track at the historic Welcome to 1979 studio in Nashville.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, The Sedonas have built an impressive catalogue, including an EP, two standalone singles, three studio albums, and a longer live project titled </span><em><span>Opening Selects</span></em><span>. Since 2016, the band has toured extensively across the United States, sharing stages with major acts such as The Who, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Black Crowes, and Goo Goo Dolls.</span></p>
<p class="isSelectedEnd"><span>Frontman James Connor Wike leads the band as primary songwriter and manager, joined by Ryan Sise on guitar and Casey Green on drums and percussion. The group currently rotates between bassists Sam Fruend and Dre Phelps.</span></p>
<p><span>Looking ahead, The Sedonas are set to tour with Three Dog Night and other acts throughout the year, balancing live performances with a steady stream of new releases.</span></p>

<p><strong data-start="212" data-end="229">About Dogs Don't Deal</strong></p>
<p data-start="65" data-end="393">Dogs Don’t Deal are a duo of two UK lads with absolutely no filter, delivering sharp, honest takes on modern life. Mikey V brings the raw grit of working-class Leicester straight to the mic, while Cobbler thrives on unpredictability — effortlessly blending indie, hip-hop, rock, and pop into something that refuses to sit still.</p>
<p data-start="395" data-end="669">Their lyricism hits hard without ever feeling heavy-handed. There’s humour, self-awareness, and a tongue-in-cheek edge throughout, especially when tackling themes around masculinity — think less red pill, more Red Bull. It’s high-energy, unpretentious, and built to connect.</p>
<p data-start="671" data-end="877">Working alongside artist developer, songwriter, and producer James Sanger at Vibey Studios, the duo have carved out a sound that feels both chaotic and calculated — sharp, fearless, and difficult to define.</p>

<p><strong data-start="212" data-end="229">About Broghan</strong></p>
<p data-start="233" data-end="630">You’re looking for something different. Something meaningful. A distraction that doubles as therapy. A song that grabs you by the ears and whispers, <em data-start="382" data-end="395">“I get it.”</em> One that takes all your jumbled thoughts and transforms them into a single melodic piece, sticking in your head long enough to drown out the endless noise of daily life. That’s exactly what Broghan wanted—and so she made it herself.</p>
<p data-start="632" data-end="902">The young Scottish artist turned her own experiences—and the stories of others—into songs, each one vividly illustrated through her stunning paintings and drawings. Today, Broghan [BRO-GAN] is an independent artist whose music has reached listeners all over the world.</p>
<p data-start="904" data-end="1225">With songs available across all major streaming platforms, Broghan has released two music videos and performed at iconic Scottish venues, including the legendary King Tut’s. Her live performances captivate audiences, most notably when opening for Lewis Capaldi in 2023 at the OVO Hydro, performing to a crowd of 12,000.</p>
<p data-start="1227" data-end="1609">Industry professionals have praised Broghan for her storytelling and cinematic songwriting. Her tracks are filled with catchy melodies, moving vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics. As A&amp;R Factory noted about her single <em data-start="1446" data-end="1473">The Calm Before The Storm</em>: <em data-start="1475" data-end="1607">“She’s a phenomenon in her own right, and it is only a matter of time before she’s showered with plaudits and songwriting awards.”</em></p>

<p> <strong data-start="212" data-end="229">About Broghan</strong></p>
<p data-start="233" data-end="630">You’re looking for something different. Something meaningful. A distraction that doubles as therapy. A song that grabs you by the ears and whispers, <em data-start="382" data-end="395">“I get it.”</em> One that takes all your jumbled thoughts and transforms them into a single melodic piece, sticking in your head long enough to drown out the endless noise of daily life. That’s exactly what Broghan wanted—and so she made it herself.</p>
<p data-start="632" data-end="902">The young Scottish artist turned her own experiences—and the stories of others—into songs, each one vividly illustrated through her stunning paintings and drawings. Today, Broghan [BRO-GAN] is an independent artist whose music has reached listeners all over the world.</p>
<p data-start="904" data-end="1225">With songs available across all major streaming platforms, Broghan has released two music videos and performed at iconic Scottish venues, including the legendary King Tut’s.

<p data-start="1227" data-end="1609">Industry professionals have praised Broghan for her storytelling and cinematic songwriting. Her tracks are filled with catchy melodies, moving vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics. As A&amp;R Factory noted about her single <em data-start="1446" data-end="1473">The Calm Before The Storm</em>: <em data-start="1475" data-end="1607">“She’s a phenomenon in her own right, and it is only a matter of time before she’s showered with plaudits and songwriting awards.”</em></p>

<p> </p>
<p data-start="201" data-end="470">Broken Colours are back and looking to end the year on a high with the long-awaited release of their new EP, <em data-start="310" data-end="326">Could Be Worse</em>. The four-track project expands further into the band’s indie-rock-filled universe, showcasing their most confident and expansive work to date.</p>
<p data-start="472" data-end="826">The EP features three previously released singles — <strong data-start="524" data-end="537">‘Brother’</strong>, <strong data-start="539" data-end="559">‘Before The Sun’</strong>, and <strong data-start="565" data-end="582">‘Hey It’s Me’</strong> — each highlighting the band’s broad approach to indie songwriting. From stadium-sized anthems to more reserved, reflective ballads, <em data-start="716" data-end="732">Could Be Worse</em> captures the vast scope of Broken Colours’ sound and reinforces their intense creative drive.</p>
<p data-start="828" data-end="1199">Also included is <strong data-start="845" data-end="861">‘Pretending’</strong>, the latest single to be lifted from the EP. A blues-tinged yet undeniably rock ’n’ roll anthem, the track sees the band doubling down on the hard-hitting sound that first earned them attention. Built around emphatic sing-along choruses and towering riffs, the song leans into a nostalgic feel while retaining a sharp, contemporary edge.</p>
<p data-start="1201" data-end="1244">Speaking about the track, the band explain:</p>
<blockquote data-start="1246" data-end="1635">
<p data-start="1248" data-end="1635"><em data-start="1248" data-end="1635">“In a constantly evolving modern world, where fame, money, and recognition seem to be at everyone’s fingertips, it feels like people will do anything to achieve these. This is where the song ‘Pretending’ comes in, highlighting this very issue. In a world where people give money to homeless individuals just for video views, it makes us question society — and that’s just one example.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<h2 data-start="1642" data-end="1665">About Broken Colours</h2>
<p data-start="1667" data-end="1991">Hailing from High Wycombe, Broken Colours are a four-piece indie outfit blending funk-edged grooves with gritty rock sensibilities to deliver truly electrifying performances. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Jamiroquai and Arctic Monkeys, the band first burst onto the scene with their acclaimed self-titled EP in 2016.</p>
<p data-start="1993" data-end="2345">Since then, they have toured across the UK, Denmark, and Italy, sharing stages with The Blockheads, Jake Bugg, The Zutons, and The Subways — further cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Looking ahead to 2025, Broken Colours are set to reassert themselves as a creative force to be reckoned with, with more new music firmly on the horizon.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There’s something exciting about a debut that lands with full confidence — no hesitation, no overthinking, just good songwriting and loud guitars. That’s exactly what The Groves deliver with their first single, “Say How,” released on September 26, 2025.</p>
<p>The Stoke-on-Trent newcomers crash onto the scene with a crunchy, melodic burst of powerpop, packed with big hooks and a sly sense of humour. It’s playful and fuzzed-up, nodding to the golden era of late-90s and early-2000s indie rock — the days when melody met distortion and bands still wrote choruses to remember.</p>
<p><strong>A Sound Built on Heart &amp; Hooks,</strong><br />The Groves proudly cite albums like Brendan Benson’s One Mississippi and Jason Falkner’s Presents Author Unknown as key influences — touchstones for clever, catchy pop-rock that never tries too hard but still hits where it counts.</p>
<p>“We love those records that feel effortless,” the band shares. “They’re melodic and fun but still hit hard — great songs with heart and hooks. That’s the vibe we wanted to capture on our first track.”<br />And they’ve nailed it. “Say How” is bright, punchy, and instantly familiar in the best way — the kind of song that feels like it’s been in your playlist for years.</p>
<p><strong>Local Buzz to Wider Horizons</strong><br />Hailing from Stoke-on-Trent, The Groves have already built a steady following at local venues through headline and support slots. With “Say How,” they’re ready to push beyond their hometown, aiming for new ears across playlists, blogs, and indie radio.<br />Adding to their offbeat charm, the band is also putting together a DIY lo-fi video featuring a surreal bicycle chase between the band and a gorilla — a chaotic and hilarious nod to cult British TV gem Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.</p>
<p>If you’re into crunchy guitars, tight harmonies, and clever songwriting that channels the best of powerpop’s heyday, “Say How” deserves your attention. It’s a debut that sounds like a statement — and a promising sign of what’s to come from The Groves.</p>

<h3 data-start="844" data-end="892"><span>New Music Release: Devil In Blue</span><span></span><span></span></h3>
<p data-start="232" data-end="485">After the anthemic Southern Rock energy of her previous single <em data-start="295" data-end="330">We Ain’t Getting Outta Here Alive</em>, Sarah Riches shifts gears with effortless style, transporting us straight to a hot and dusty Tennessee honky tonk in her latest release, <em data-start="469" data-end="484">Devil In Blue</em>.</p>
<p data-start="487" data-end="831">In this evocative track, Riches spins the tale of a whirlwind encounter with a smooth-talking cowboy who sweeps her off her feet—only for her to eventually see through the cigar smoke and charm. She may have lost her head for a moment, but in true country fashion, she finds her footing and shows that “hell-for-leather devil in blue” the door.</p>
<p data-start="833" data-end="1080">While the theme is a timeless country classic, <em data-start="880" data-end="895">Devil In Blue</em> feels anything but dated. In today’s modern world of dating apps and red flags, the allure of a sweet-talking heartbreaker still hits hard—especially when backed by a sound this solid.</p>
<p data-start="1082" data-end="1346">The single features Sarah’s stellar band, <strong data-start="1124" data-end="1145">The Dreamcatchers</strong>, delivering rich musicianship and tight instrumentation throughout. Produced, mixed, and mastered by <strong data-start="1247" data-end="1264">Inspire Music</strong>, the track once again showcases Riches’ vocal power and storytelling versatility.</p>
<p data-start="1348" data-end="1499">Following the sonic contrast between her first two releases of 2025, fans are left wondering: what surprising direction will she take next come Autumn?</p>
<hr data-start="1541" data-end="1544" />
<h3 data-start="1546" data-end="1566">About Sarah Riches</h3>
<p data-start="254" data-end="576">With her distinctive, rich, and emotive vocals paired with masterful songwriting, <strong data-start="336" data-end="352">Sarah Riches</strong> creates vivid musical landscapes that transport listeners to dusty backroads and dimly lit honky-tonks. Her songs delve deep into themes of love, loss, and resilience, resonating with raw honesty and heartfelt storytelling.</p>
<p data-start="578" data-end="1029">Since her debut, Riches has steadily built a devoted following, thanks to her genuine approach to music-making and captivating live performances. Drawing inspiration from country icons like <strong data-start="768" data-end="786">Emmylou Harris</strong> and <strong data-start="791" data-end="811">Lucinda Williams</strong>, and blending that heritage with contemporary influences such as <strong data-start="877" data-end="896">Kacey Musgraves</strong> and <strong data-start="901" data-end="919">Brandi Carlile</strong>, Riches brings a fresh, modern voice to the country/Americana scene—one that feels both timeless and current.</p>
<p data-start="1031" data-end="1395">Whether she’s performing stripped-down acoustic sets that spotlight the emotional power of her lyrics, or taking the stage with her stellar band in a full-throttle country-rock show, Riches connects deeply with audiences. Her authenticity and emotional vulnerability have earned her not just critical acclaim, but a loyal fanbase across the country music spectrum.</p>
<p data-start="1397" data-end="1812">Her <strong data-start="1401" data-end="1442">debut album, <em data-start="1416" data-end="1440">I Don’t Give Up Easily</em></strong>, was produced by the legendary <strong data-start="1474" data-end="1489">Fred Mollin</strong>—known for his work with JD Souther (Eagles), Kris Kristofferson, Jimmy Webb, Billy Ray Cyrus, Vince Gill, and Lyle Lovett. Many of the musicians featured on the album are regular performers at the iconic <strong data-start="1694" data-end="1712">Grand Ole Opry</strong>, lending the record a rich, rootsy foundation that’s steeped in tradition yet unmistakably her own.</p>
