I've decided to start a monthly blog post where I'll name and briefly talk about a few new and upcoming bands that I've got my eye on, and that I think deserve some more recognition! If there are any bands that you think deserve to be on my next list, or you want your own band to be featured then head over to my contact page and shoot me a message!
Clipwings - Every band has to start somewhere, Clipwings have only released a handful of tracks but I was so impressed by the single 'Sink' that I wanted to give them some much deserved attention and hopefully help them to get their name heard. I hear clear relations musically and lyrically in there music to bands like Casey and Burning Down Alaska. They have a sound that many people are already comfortable with so I don't think they will have any problem at all with fitting into the scene, and if this is one of their first tracks they have ever produced then I am super excited to see how they progress as a band. Go visit their Facebook page here.

As It Stands - The first band I want to shine some light upon are actually some good pals of mine, As It Stands. I may be baised but I'm super proud of what they have achieved within such a short amount of time. They formed in 2014 and since then have recorded and released two demo EPs and two studio EPs, aswell as filling up the supports slots for dozens of local shows around Devon and Cornwall (including the Plymouth date of the WSTR tour) with the odd cheeky headliner here and there. They are for sure one of the most hard working and determined bands I have had the pleasure of knowing. You can find a link to their Facebook page here, go check them out!
Secret Keeper - Secret Keeper are a band that I've listened to for quite a while and I have a lot of love for them. Established in 2013, Secret Keeper released their debut self-titled EP and took part in tours across America before the release of their second EP 'Losing Sleep' in 2015, and third EP 'Ghost' in 2016. They then continued to tour filling up local support slots and headlining their own shows. Secret Keeper remind me a lot of an upbeat Being As An Ocean, their songs are filled with passion and emotion and I can't wait to see what 2017 holds for them! Check out their facebook page here.
