BEN MARWOOD
Local solo singer song writer Ben Marwood received some good news at the end of 2010, that the debut album that he had recorded was going to be released by London based record label Xtra Mile (home to Frank Turner and Chris TT) After many years of hard slog and dozens and dozens of gigs, Ben is a perfect example that hard work can finally pay off.

His début album Outside There's A Curse was recorded in Reading over a period of weeks during 2010 with the help of various friends. It is a great début offering, a collection of the his best songs of the last five years.

It is a must buy for any fan of a great song, a must buy for any fan of music, it is a must buy record.

Pre-order the album from Amazon here:

QUIET QUIET BAND
Reading finest band, made up of ex members of Heartwear Process and Mass Hysteria.They are currently on fire. They deal in a sassy form of UK flavoured folk country.Think Low, Sparklehorse and Modest Mouse. A mighty fine band and they deserve to be on this bill.

Cloud Nothings - Should Have by Kevin Lawson

There has been some real buzz on Bitchfork and Hype Machine about the Cloud Nothings over the past few months. Their previous releases Turning On and Leave You Forever suggested that with a full blown studio recording they could produce something worthy of the attention being lavished upon them. A suggestion that in my opinion had been unfulfilled. That was until I heard 'Should Have'. Released as a snippet from their self-titled debut album it's vital, energetic and delivered with the smarmy conviction of a irritatingly intelligent teenager. Their album will winging its way into the shops (and your hearts?) on the 25th of January.
