Free download: The Peawees – ‘Cause You Don’t Know Me
After over two decades in the business, Italian garage rock/power pop band The Peawees have created more than a musical legacy. Their 2018 LP ‘Moving Target’ provided an excellent insight into the band’s style – a great listen for anyone unfamiliar with the band – delivering great hook after great hook. A tribute to Phil Spector on the suitably titled ‘Phil Spector’ provided an album highlight on a track big on retro riffs and even bigger on sleigh bells.
A new track, ‘You Don’t Know Me’ adds further to the band’s legacy with a three minute, guitar driven blaster that combines the more commercial feel of early 90s Social Distortion with the chorus thrills of Gaslight Anthem, all wrapped up in something that pays homage to ‘I Fought The Law’.
Kristin Hersh & Fred Abong back in the UK for another run of live dates in March
Throughout the summer of 2018, Kristin Hersh toured extensively for her critically acclaimed album ‘Possible Dust Clouds’. A lengthy run of dates found Kristin and supporting artist Fred Abong visiting all corners of UK and playing at some very intimate venues.
Kristin and Fred are back for another tour beginning on March 8th. For those who missed the previous leg, the new dates involve similarly small venues, so if you’d like to see some great artists up close, the opportunity shouldn’t be missed a second time.
Fred also releases a new EP ‘Pulsing’ on March 8th.
Kate Bush ‘The Other Sides’ due on stand-alone CD set in March
At the end of 2018, Kate Bush’s catalogue of albums was reissued as two expensive box sets. The first, covering the earlier albums, featured remasters of ‘The Kick Inside’, ‘Lionheart’, ‘Never For Ever’ and ‘The Dreaming’ for the first time. The big draw for most fans – especially those without a copy of the now rare 90s box set ‘This Woman’s Work’ – was the inclusion of several b-sides and non album tracks.
With that second set retailing at over £80, it seemed like a lot for fans to shell out, especially since there were still various b-sides and leftovers not included.
Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe release new video for the politically charged ‘Change My Way’
