Olly Chamberlain

Olly Chamberlain, a talented singer songwriter from London, England, has covered many popular songs on his YouTube channel, including his most recent upload 'Leave Your Lover', originally by the brilliant Sam Smith. In uploading these video's Olly has developed a growing fan base, with over 3,500 subscribers and over 300,000 views. A powerful, dynamic vocal ability along with a strong artistic flair makes Olly a musician to look out for. Already gaining a celebrity fan base from the likes of Stephen Fry he is sure to be a hit in the not so distant future.

When I caught up with Olly recently, he had this to say:

"For me, it all starts with family. I grew up in a house of music. My earliest memory even involves music, singing in a church choir when I was 5. My brother and I used to improvise on clarinets and saxophones while my dad would play a slow 12 bar blues. Music is everything to me. In my last year of uni, I started uploading cover videos onto YouTube. My first cover, Usher's Climax now has 135,000 views. Since then I've been gigging around the London scene and finding out what else is out there. Most of my time now is dedicated to songwriting. There's quite a lot I'd like to say and I'm planning on making as much noise as possible."

With a lot of original songs being written as well as covers being recorded, I'm sure there are big plans for Olly, check back here for news on latest release's and potential live dates over the summer.

Kingsfoil

Kingsfoil are a York Country (U.S) indie rock band. Originally a 4 piece, with a line up consisting of front man Jordan Davis, Tristan Martin (guitar and keyboard), Tim Warren (bass)
with drummer, Frankie Muniz recently leaving.

I had a great opportunity last year to be on the same judging panel as these guys for 'S'kool Fest', I was then invited along to watch them perform at one of their London shows at The Garage in Islington. I went into their dressing room where I had a beer, and the band were sitting, warming up and they looked pretty relaxed considering this was their first headline tour they had embarked up on in the UK. 
Their live performance was awesome, their tracks perfectly knitted together and as a band were really tight, like a true rock rock band they left the crowd chanting for an encore at the end of their set. Returning to the US, they have been playing a string of live dates, enhancing their ever growing fan base with their musical ingenuity and prowess.

Having shared dates with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Calvin Harris and Lupe Fiasco to name a few, they are certainly a band to watch out for and start listening too. Should they come back to the UK any time soon be sure to check them out live. 

They have released two studio albums the latest called 'A Beating Heart Is A Bleeding Heart' which can be heard on Spotify below.

Scott Innes

"Scott Innes, an accomplished singer, songwriter and musician originally heralded from the small town of Stirling in Scotland. It was there that he learnt the fine art of crafting powerful yet distinctive emotional songs, a testament to his upbringing and life experiences."

I've been following Scott's musical journey for a little while now and he never fails to satisfy. Recording and releasing numerous demos from within his studio, he is a gifted singer/songwriter with uniquely personal lyrics make nearly every song he writes relatable too by anybody, in some way, shape or form.

His strong, dynamic vocals and skilfully structured songs distinguish him from many other male singer songwriters. With a strong ability to write catchy pop songs and an equally strong, marketable image to match, it is well worth following his creative and captivating musical journey. Check out some of Scott's tracks below as well as a live acoustic video. 

Check back here for up and coming live dates.

Royal Blood

Who knew a bass guitar and a drum kit could make so much noise! Royal Blood, the Brighton born rock duo, Mike Kerr (bass+vocals) and Ben Thatcher (drums) are easily one of the hottest bands of the moment. 

Their track 'Little Monster' getting air play on Radio1 by their number 1 fan Fearne Cotton, performing on BBC2's 'Later...with Jools Holland', and with Arctic Monkeys Drummer, Matt Helders wearing one of their t-shirts at Galstonbury last year, they are racking up quite a following!

I saw them perform last month at the NME awards at Brixton Academy along side Circa Waves, Temples and Interpol and the crowd were in awe, hanging on to every line, solo and hook.

Their new single 'Come On Over' has their signature mix of dynamics, energetic drums, snarling bass, engaging lyrics and a whole lot of sound. Their new video for it can be watched below.



You can see them playing at The Great Escape in their hometown Brighton on the 9th May, and at Finsbury Park, supporting The Arctic Monkeys on the 23rd & 24th May, as well as various other dates across the UK and Europe.

Max Marshall

I recently had the privilege to observe Max at work in the studio, and amongst the repartee and jokes I soon realised I was witnessing some incredibly talented musicians, from skilfully played silky keys, a rhythmically flawless beat played on a cajon, a deep, mellow bass, and of course Max's smooth yet powerful vocals accompanied by her acoustic guitar.
Originally from Baltimore, the talented singer songwriter recently featured on the Matrix & Futurebound record - 'Control', which peaked at #7 in the UK official singles chart and #2 in the UK Dance chart.
With a new track out, 'Blu Magic' by Ill Blu, co-written by
and featuring Max, it's catchy beat and lyrics are most certainly guaranteed to leave you wanting more.
Max is certainly an artist to keep your eyes on, and ears open for in the future, in the meantime you can see her live at Brighton's Great Escape Festival on the 8th May at the Komedia, and again during Camden Crawl at The Monarch on the 21st June.
