This week’s Singles Bar features a wealth of different musical styles. A dip into the world of melodic punk brings a fresh take on a well known tune, a melodic rock band bring a massive 90s vibe on a very strong track, and a singer songwriter blends soul, pop and world music on a brilliantly understated performance.

It’s a selection that, hopefully, will share something of interest for most listeners… As always, we hope you find something new to enjoy!
