Mudkiss March album of the Month

There's nobody more suprised than me that my album of the month for March is the latest offering from  rock veterans, Van Halen.  This is however, beyond a return to form, it's a an absolute revelation, to the point, it's cool to like Van Halen all over again.........in my humble opinion.

Jamie N Commons - Wish You Were Here

I'm becoming more and more impressed with Jamie N Commons.  Not usually a fan of covers, but here he takes one of my favourite songs of all time, puts his own bluesy slant on it, sounding exceptionally good.  Such a great voice.


Sent my son off to watch him last night, instead of going myself. Mistake........

Check out his EP "The Baron"

CALM - Thirty One Album

Mudkiss sent Callum, one of their younger writers to a press conference about the release of the Thirty One Album, a compilation of Manchester artists for which all the proceeds go to CALM, a charity highlighting the fact suicide is the biggest killer of young men in the U.K and providing help and assistance before it's too late.

Here's a teenage perspective on the day and the CALM charity.

New Arctic Monkeys track - R U Mine?

Check out a brand new track from Arctic Monkeys "R U Mine."  Maintaining the rockier elements of more recent material with Alex Turner continuing to mature as a vocalist and inclusive some interesting, falsetto backing vocals. 

Perhaps not one that totally grips first time, but definitely a grower.
