Mark Chadwick

After the massive “Levelling The Land” Sold Out tour of the UK last year, the “Levellers” went back into the studio to record their next album “Static On The Airwaves” , the 1st single from the album is called “Truth Is” and will be released on Record Store Day 21st April on Limited Edition 7″ red vinyl. As usual the band have arranged lots of live dates around their releases including their own annual Festival Beautiful days in August. Tonight at Mr Kyps we have a very rare solo appearance of front man Mark Chadwick who released his own solo album “All The Pieces” in 2010. The show is billed as airing some special new material and playing a few of the Levellers classics.

Lostprophets

It’s been a quiet two years since Welsh rockers Lostprophets released The Betrayed regarding new stuff, and everyone has been full of excitement and curiosity to see what Lostprophets are pulling out the bag this time around with their new album, Weapons. With the huge wait and everything being put on a huge pedestal of expectations and hopes, the question everyone wants to know is did it stay up with the expectations or crash and burn?

EP: “The Settling” By Veetacore

Veetacore

Local female-fronted Pop-Punkers Veetacore have got a new 5 Track EP out called “The Settling” and its really rather good! On opener “Sliced Waters” there’s a simple beat throughout the song with a clever little synth section accompanying the “electro” drum sound. The highest compliment I can pay singer Becky is that her vocal reminds me of a pop version of “Die So Fluid’s” vocalist Grog. For a singer so young she has good range for this style of music. Lyrically the song isn’t pulling up any trees but is a decent opener.

CD: “The Pride” by InMe

InMe

When it comes to making releases independently, there are a few things which should be taken into account; your fan base, your commitment and your direction. Luckily, InMe seem to have all three of these factors locked down to a tee, as their latest album “The Pride” was funded to a level of three hundred percent of the required amount via the ever increasingly popular website, Pledge Music. After their last studio album “Herald Moth” was released back in 2009, it was inevitable that fans would be desperate to found out what InMe had to offer in 2012.

Mark Chadwick

Mark Chadwick is one of the UK’s most successful songwriters. With his band, The Levellers, he has co-written 20 chart singles and 4 top 40 albums. Usually seen gallivanting across the globe with The Levellers on a seemingly never ending 20 year tour, he will take time out for this special one-off solo show. This will be a set of Levellers songs handpicked by the man himself, classics alongside some less well known tracks, material from his solo album ‘All The Pieces’ and you may even hear a couple of new songs from upcoming album ‘Static On The Airwaves’.

The Sabres

The Sabres is a new 3 Track EP, a forth-coming taster for their new album.

Bournemouth Punk/Rock outfit The Sabres have a new EP out which has fallen into the hands of Rock Regeneration for review. On “Shade of Light” the guitars are very “Post/Punk” and I’m hearing a smidgeon of U2’s “I Will Follow” in the chords! The vocals are a nod toward Billie-Joe but that’s where the influences stop.
