<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">It's been quiet these past three years. Fences
have been repaired and stand tall, houses have been rebuilt, thatching reliably
dry, and life is peaceful. If a bit dull.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">But – listen – a distant rumbling. The far-off

(baritone guitar, The Sleeping Souls) and Ben Dawson (drums, ex-Million Dead) –
return in January 2018 for four live dates across the UK – Glasgow, Manchester,
Birmingham and London. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">They last played at Reading Festival in 2014 and
it was uncertain whether (if ever) the Hörde would come back for more. Prayers,
dreams and tweets have now been answered as the threesome take advantage of
Frank's brief downtime between tours to return. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

August 2012 plus Reading and Leeds Festival, Möngöl Hörde released one of
2014's most twisted and ferocious albums with their self-titled debut through
Xtra Mile Recordings. They then tackled a brief UK summer tour including a
second appearance at Reading and Leeds before Frank and Matt went back to their
day jobs and started writing and recording Frank Turner's sixth album <i>Positive
Songs For Negative People</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Following the exciting news that
Southampton-born singer <b>Seán McGowan</b>
has signed a deal with <b>Xtra Mile
Recordings</b> – he now reveals details of a brand new EP ‘<b>Graft & Grief</b>’ to be released <b>8<sup>th</sup> September 2017 </b>on silver vinyl, CD and digital. The
7 track EP features the singles ‘No Show’ (released late 2016) and ‘Apple Core’
released earlier this year – as well as new track ‘Costa Del Solution’. With two
poems book-ending the EP, ‘Graft & Grief’ showcases Seán’s lyrical
dexterity, knack for penning a catchy melody and laser sharp social commentary.

<br /></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">'No Show' puts
zero-hour-contract, minimum-wage drudgery into riotous perspective, rebellion
in half-arsed job performance, revenge in furiously-paced folk-punk whilst 'Apple
Core' draws gentle echoed gallops while Seán spits lyrics at a pace, a rowdy
chorus nailing his unexpected eloquence. 'Dog Tag' flows from chin-up
confidence to raw honesty and 'Clear Conscience' rumbles with drum rolls under
soft guitars. Finally, new song 'Costa Del Solution' is a bright, sunny jangle
set upon high street despondency and twists the cliché of a beach holiday
escape.</span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">'Graft & Grief' is an
impressive showcase for his rollicking full-band set of socially spot-on songs;
an insight into realities of being young and musically-motivated in modern
England.</span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Coinciding with the release, Seán
will play his biggest headline tour to date playing with a full band.</span></div>

Fly, Rob Lynch and Beans On Toast. Over
the past 6 years Seán has been steadily building up his now considerable fan
base by being near a constant force on the touring circuit as well as
supporting Billy Bragg and performing packed out slots <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>at
Glastonbury and The Great Escape.</span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Raised on a diet of The Clash,
The Jam, Specials, Billy Bragg and other such politically-charged, punk-ignited
British pop, 21 year old Seán self-released two EPs either given away or sold
on a pay what you want basis at shows, plus two slices of teenage Southampton
life entitled ‘Come Unstuck’ (featuring Frank Turner on backing vocals) and
‘Swings & Roundabouts’, released as a double a-side 7”. Writing has already
begun on the album, due to arrive sometime in early 2018.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Filmmaker Ben Morse spent a year trailing
one of the most hard-working musicians currently operating and what emerges is
a raw, insightful portrayal of an underground hero. A close friend of Turner,
Morse originally intended to capture Turner and his band, The Sleeping Souls,
in constant motion only to discover a man facing up to his demons, forced to
pause touring for the first time in his career. <br />

Turner has been one of the breakthrough artists of the millennium, emerging
from his punk-rock roots to become a rock icon to diehard fans all over the
world. In 2015, everything came to a head as Turner slipped off the wagon and
confronted the commercial pressures of mainstream success. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Filmmaker
Ben Morse spent a year trailing one of the most hard-working musicians
currently operating and what emerges is a raw, insightful portrayal of an
underground hero. A close friend of Turner, Morse originally intended to
capture Turner and his band, The Sleeping Souls, in constant motion only to
discover a man facing up to his demons, forced to pause touring for the first
time in his career. </span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">Get
Better – A Film About Frank Turner </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;">includes never-before-seen footage from
friends, family and fans across the world as well as extensive interviews with
Turner and his band as they contemplate what drives a man to stay on the road
and the effect that has on his life and those around him. Turner has been one
of the breakthrough artists of the millennium, emerging from his punk-rock
roots to become a rock icon to diehard fans all over the world. In 2015,
everything came to a head as Turner slipped off the wagon and confronted the
commercial pressures of mainstream success. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Long-awaited third album 'Get Found' is released on </b>7th April 2017<b> Ben Marwood has revealed the lyric video's ultimate form for new song '</b>The Devil Makes Work For Jazz Hands'. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ahead of the album's release on 7 April, and an album tour on 6 April with labelmate Non Canon and support from Helen Chambers, 'The Devil Makes Work For Jazz Hands' dips into the determination it took to make the album a reality. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Driven by the stripped back approach that helped make Ben's debut album 'Outside There's A Curse' such a favourite, the song speaks of death, and hints at the struggles that kept Ben out of action for a year. Ultimately the song is redemptive, with Ben singing “you should know that you can't fear all the things you feel in the dark”.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In satirising the lyric video – from drum clicks to choruses, and glitches to reboot via loading screens for extra drum fills and self-worth – it transposes more meaning from the song than your average attempt at teaching you a song's words.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">‘Get Found’ <b>has been a long time in the making. After the successes of debut album </b>‘Outside There’s A Curse’ (<b>2011) and the follow-up </b>‘Back Down’ <b>(2013) – which include a sold out solo headline UK tour; a support run with Frank Turner across the US, and the very surreal spectacle of accompanying Mr Turner upon rolling green hills at his pre-show performance of the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony - Ben wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to or even want to play music again. </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A very intense year-long illness stopped Ben in his tracks and even though 2014-2015 was a surprisingly productive year of writing new songs, life continued to intervene, and this promising musician spent a year “embracing horizontal living”.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A third album was anything but inevitable at that point. Yet here we are, in 2017, warmly welcoming another Ben Marwood record. The album doesn’t stray far from its roots but plays with them tenderly. Pedal steel aches on ‘Enraptured’, while ‘DNFTTTS’ is pure andante piano melody. ‘Nights’ chugs and spits before bellowing into the most uplifting-sounding chorus about death you’ve heard yet – and there are plenty to come. “I’m not dead, I’m not dying, I just can’t get up,” confesses Ben on ‘I’m Wide Awake It’s Boring’ as one of just two songs that directly reference his mental and physical state of that difficult year. But Ben’s still able to pull his best from just his familiar flowing fingerstyle and disarmingly affecting voice on ‘Bones’ and ‘Bury Me In the Pantheon’. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Confessional and demanding of attention – it’s great to have Ben Marwood back. </span></b><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This May, Essex born folk songwriter <b>Beans on Toast</b> will take to the road on a tour of some of the UK's finest boozers and local pubs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>The Down The Pub Tour</b> is a 19-day adventure from Preston to Bridgwater via Plymouth, Hastings and beyond. Paying homage to the classic British mainstay that is the public house and inspired by the song "Down the Pub" from his latest album "A Spanner in The Works" (Dec 2016 Xtra Mile Recordings).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Those who head out for a night down the pub are in for a real treat as the Beans on Toast live show is an odd and unpredictable experience. A singer, storyteller and songwriter his self-deprecating quality is not something you often see, but it breaks down the barrier between musician and audience, creating a sense of equality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He’s a hippy, a punk, a poet, a drunk, a die-hard romantic and an eternal optimist. Singing simple songs that tackle big issues: Political protest songs for the modern day, honest and open Love songs. Songs that will make you laugh, but also make you think with no holds barred honest lyrics and quick wit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A fan of touring off the beaten track and visiting some of the country’s overlooked towns, last year Beans on Toast went on his Small Town Celebrations Tour and made a documentary, shining a light on these towns and the local music scenes. The film was premiered at Glastonbury Festival later that year and can now be viewed here:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Unfortunately our pubs are under some real stress at present, be it a stupid and completely unrealistic rise in business rates or massive monopoly-style corporate buy outs of large breweries, it's tough times for boozers indeed. This tour is proud to champion the #saveourpubs campaign.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>‘Get Found’ </b>has been a long time in the making. After the successes of debut album <b>‘Outside There’s A Curse’ (2011) </b>and the follow-up <b>‘Back Down’ (2013) – </b>which include a sold out solo headline UK tour; a support run with Frank Turner across the US, and the very surreal spectacle of accompanying Mr Turner upon rolling green hills at his pre-show performance of the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony - Ben wasn’t sure he’d ever be able to or even want to play music again. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A very intense year-long illness stopped Ben in his tracks and even though 2014-2015 was a surprisingly productive year of writing new songs, life continued to intervene, and this promising musician spent a year “embracing horizontal living”. It turns out that if you’re unhappy in a lot of aspects of your life your body isn’t keen on carrying that weight. He ended up cancelling all his shows at the end of 2014's final Back Down tour except his slot at his home festival, 2000trees. “But I was still trying to date and work and arrange replacement shows for the ones I cancelled but in the end I had to admit that broken humans can’t do what they feel like. Mind over matter only works if your mind wants to play ball.” Ben takes pride in showing up but was forced home to recover.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A third album was anything but inevitable at that point. Yet here we are, in 2017, warmly welcoming another Ben Marwood record. After introducing us to little Ben Marwood in the cutest way possible on the opening song, it’s followed by ‘The Church of No Commandments’ which happily reminds us what we’ve been missing, with an energetic live thrust and gymnastic banjo plying the way for a phrase that soars ‘we’ll sing through every chorus as if we can stave off death’. On the last song, Ben utters ‘take your lullabies and fuck off’ before winding a song around the meaning of true friendship. That constant contrast is resplendent and displayed throughout. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The album doesn’t stray far from its roots but plays with them tenderly. Pedal steel aches on ‘Enraptured’, while ‘DNFTTTS’ is pure andante piano melody. ‘Nights’ chugs and spits before bellowing into the most uplifting-sounding chorus about death you’ve heard yet – and there are plenty to come. “I’m not dead, I’m not dying, I just can’t get up,” confesses Ben on ‘I’m Wide Awake It’s Boring’ as one of just two songs that directly reference his mental and physical state of that difficult year. But Ben’s still able to pull his best from just his familiar flowing fingerstyle and disarmingly affecting voice on ‘Bones’ and ‘Bury Me In the Pantheon’. Penultimate song ‘The Devil Makes Work For Jazz Hands’ dwells on death and immobility again (“the weight of the world is locked on your shoulders forever”) before sliding in a slick guitar solo and resolving into a plea of “you should know that you can’t fear all of the things you fear in the dark”. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Confessional and demanding of attention – it’s great to have Ben Marwood back. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As announced late last year, <b>OneFest </b>and <b>Frank Turner </b>have teamed up to present a fantastic 4-day festival, taking place on <b>12th-15th May 2017 </b>at London’s iconic music venue, <b>The Roundhouse. Lost Evenings </b>will see Frank Turner curate and headline four consecutive one off concerts, designed to offer fans and festival goers an experience like no other. Tickets for the events are selling very fast with the first night completely sold out and now Frank can announce the first wave of special guests for all four nights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On <b>Friday, 12th May </b>Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls will perform a crowd pleasing Greatest Hits set entitled Last Minutes and Lost Evenings, and supporting that night will be <b>Brian Fallon and The Crowes. </b>Fallon, and his band The Gaslight Anthem invited Frank to tour with them in 2009 and the two have remained friends since. Following on Saturday, Frank will perform his debut album ‘Sleep Is For The Week’ in full as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. On this night long-admired musical peer <b>Seth Lakeman </b>will support. On Sunday Frank resurrects Nambucca’s infamous former club night ‘Sensible Sundays’ and brings in close pal and musical hero <b>Scott Hutchison from Frightened Rabbit </b>onto the bill. Closing ‘Lost Evenings’ on Monday 15th May, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls unite with Huw Stephens and his Label Of Love to feature Xtra Mile Recordings and showcase the extraordinary talent on the roster. First act to be announced is <b>Skinny Lister </b>who are main support to Frank’s second Greatest Hits set of the series.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In addition to the evening performances, OneFest will run a selection of panels and workshops during the day, offering inspiration, insight and advice to young individuals both operating in and trying to break in to the music industry. The full programme of events will be supported by official partner Radio X who will host an additional stage featuring up and coming talent selected by esteemed presenter and indie champion John Kennedy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The OneFest element to the event will be part-produced by a cohort of six young adults aged 18-25 who are currently undergoing professional development programmes within the music industry, designed and run by The Hub. These programmes will support them in fulfilling roles across the event in panel and additional stage programming, artist liaison, digital marketing and business affairs. Speaking about this partnership with OneFest, Frank says:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“As an artist who worked their way up from the ground floor, I totally understand the challenges involved in carving out a meaningful and sustainable career within the music industry. OneFest plays a critical role in helping young talent get their first significant break, along with arming them with the tools and the knowledge to get ahead. I’m delighted to be collaborating with OneFest as I recognise only too well the importance of opportunity and the right kind of support to help new and young talent into the business.”</span><br />

by the classic satire by <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>
protest singer Phil Ochs, the song raises an iPad selfie to the safe-and-sound
set quite happy to finger point, jeer and slacktivise for change from the
internet and for the benefit of their right-on friends. The single version is
full-band (the album cut is a solo piano ballad), giving it a cheeky Britpop
jangle, as if playing along with the smug. The track is accompanied by a
vicious, warped cut-and-paste Chris T-T vs Gypo Buggane remix of acapella poem 'Cutting A Longbow',

with bold storytelling, an incisive wit, and a little bit of good ole' English

acoustic strings, or throwing the audience ire-laced sentences accompanied only
by silence or pounding drums, the T-T live experience is a journey that never

Ten tracks from these live recordings (one from each artist) has been released as the label’s latest compilation. Entitled Xtra Mile High Club Vol. 7: Truckin', the album takes mastered recordings from the truck’s digital console and delivers a clear, true sound from the festival's live stages. In-truck sessions have also been released as the video series 'Xtra Mile Presents'. Both give evidence of the ability of the truck’s equipment and engineer.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The <b>4th November 2016 </b>sees the release of <b>Will Varley’s </b>beautiful and powerful new album <b>‘Kingsdown Sundown’, </b>released through <b>Xtra Mile Recordings. </b>Recorded underneath a pub by the sea in Deal, Kent as the waves roared outside, Kingsdown Sundown is a bleak and uncompromising critique of the human condition, journeying deep into our dreams, faults, regrets and politics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Coinciding with the release is the news that Varley will be playing his biggest show to date at the impressive and legendary O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 25th November 2017. Tickets go on sale today from this link: </span><a href="https://www.musicglue.com/willvarley/" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">www.musicglue.com/willvarley</a><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Speaking about the show, Will says: <i>"I used to play an open mic night across the road from Shepherds Bush Empire. I never thought years later I'd be headlining there.” </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">His headline show at London’s Union Chapel later this month on 18th November had sold over out a month in advance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The songs on <b>‘Kingsdown Sundown’ </b>are more visceral and uneasy than before, with fights in KFC descending into world wars, the all too real plight of refugees and the recent rise in hate crime. A collection of folk songs written over the course of the last year while travelling and touring – written on tour buses and trains, scribbled on the back of set lists and receipts – Will says “these are the most honest songs I've ever written and they represent new ground for me creatively. They may not be radio friendly, or even 'friendly' at all, but I’ve been wanting to make a record like this for a long time."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First track to be lifted from the album <b>‘To Build A Wall’ – </b>an unnervingly timely indictment of simplistic solutions to incredible complex problems on both sides of the pond – has been added to the Radio X Evening Playlist and is receiving plays and support from Steve Lamacq on 6Music. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The rest of the album is hazier, more spectral and a phantom of memories, dreams, and hopes. If there's one song that haunts as much as it heals and warms the soul, it's 'Let Your Guard Down' which sounds like it was sung deeply into the howling wind in defiance, in hope and fear. The most directly political song 'We Want Our Planet Back' feels strongly enough to strap on an electric guitar and strum over Will's patient protest, but it indirectly lends its brooding power to 'Too Late Too Soon' which seems ready to crumple and break, a sandcastle made of a simmering mood. 'Back To Hell' could have come from any period in superstitious folk history, a tale of vague menace, mysticism and the underworld. Finally, 'We'll Keep Making Plans' threatens to build to a crescendo, but instead lets us drift out into a mental sea where the sun is setting on what we knew in favour of the unknown, resolving to carry on, continuing to build our futures on shakier foundations. It’s somehow not dispiriting; it’s more driven by determination to allow sadness not to rule our lives, but be an important part of it. </span></div>

<div class="NoSpacing" style="margin-right: -17.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When you're
used to something, routine can be the most fun thing to smash to pieces. So it
was that Esmé's efficient, straight-from-live recordings that served her so
well for debut <i>All Princes, I</i> and breakthrough album 2014's <i><b>Woman To
Woman</b> </i>were jettisoned in favour of a prolonged period of pre-production.
With it came splashes of vibrant colour, a swirl of hazy reverb, a twang of
country and some sharper, more distorted and choppier electric guitars. It all
lends necessary contrast and depth to the albums theme of seeking what Esmé's
spirit needs, and indeed perhaps helping the listener on their way too, as
explicitly suggested in 'Find It'.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="margin-right: -17.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="NoSpacing" style="margin-right: -17.05pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">'Feel Right' is
a high energy opener, a happy-go-lucky Esmé careening into early 2000s garage
rock. As a statement of intention lyrically and musically, it goes a long way
to explaining the rest of the album, while sounding a little off kilter from
it. ‘No River’ is a little more familiar but with the misty echoes and brittle
sounds promised earlier, all allowing Esmé's evocative voice to swim in
textured waters. 'The Waves' draws the sound underwater, adding a murkier,
mysterious swarm of sound. 'Wantin' Ain't Gettin'' pedal steels to safety,
gliding on a gorgeous shimmering melody. Lynchpin track 'Find It' has an almost
doo-wop verse and chiming chords contrasting a sober warning about waiting too
long to seek what you desire.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 12pt;">We Were Wild</span></i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> is a cohesive
but experimental album, teasing further ambitions without losing the glorious
clutch of melodies and harmonies that hammers Esmé's songwriting into your
heart every time. Last time around, Esmé broke stereotypes and the one-dimensional
views on females in songs. This time she's snapping her own restraints and
weaving her way to more freedom than she ever thought she could have.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Following a summer of festival performances, Recreations (Sam Duckworth, formerly Get Cape Wear Cape Fly) will embark on a tour of South Coast seaside towns throughout October, in what will be a celebration of these provincial British holiday destinations. The run comes after two very special performances in his hometown of Southend On Sea – one at legendary venue The Chinnerys and the other at the end of Southend Pier as part of the Estuary Festival. At both gigs, Recreations will play Get Cape Wear Cape Fly’s debut gold-selling album ‘The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager’ in its entirety before putting the mouthful of a moniker to bed forever with a Viking funeral. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Full dates are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">OCTOBER</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Coinciding with the announcement of these dates, Recreations has made available a live EP recorded in Hamburg earlier this year. ‘Live At Lux EP’ – out 9th September 2016 - features ‘Pipedown’, ‘Red Spex’ ‘Build To Last’ and ‘Shake It Off 2’ showing how incredible Recreations’ one-man performance is in the live arena. Watch a live performance of the single ‘Pipedown’ which is currently soundtracking the summer by being blasted out across 6Music courtesy of Steve Lamacq and Radio X on the Xposure Playlist.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Recreations released the self-produced debut album ‘Baby Boomers 2’ back in April. It’s a collection full of wide-eyed, big-dreaming, conscientious pop songs that are undeniably /him/, but delivered with looser funk, crisper electronics and notably less tubs to thump on. In more ways than one, it sees Duckworth get his groove back. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Never one to rest on his laurels, Recreations’ creative output continues apace with an EP of brand new tracks to be released very soon. More information to follow. </span></div>

The live band then further honed their skills and the songs through extensive touring and festival appearances (including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, The Great Escape, SXSW and British Summer Time in Hyde Park). Saint Leonard’s Horses will now unleash these fully-formed songs –that could only have been written through contact with the Hollywood Hills, Mojave Desert, a cabin in Nashville, and a gothic church on the Yorkshire moors; ungodly collisions of big country sound and misty isle musings – on live audiences wherever and whenever they can.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Non Canon exists apart from the story we know and love. A concurrent storyline, a different perspective, the world we experience through someone else's eyes; familiar but insightful for its new dimension.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In another life entirely, Non Canon gathers maelstroms of guitar noise and feeds them with caustic, yelled, (a)stringent sentences, calling himself Oxygen Thief. Having spent ten years deftly swerving expectation at every measure as Oxygen Thief, Non Canon turns things on their head again. He threads cello where there may have once been feedback, places a third chord where two key changes could have lain, and repeats a chorus line where a scream may have broken the silence instead. He's returned to his acoustic beginning, that’s true, but he’s torn that up and refused to retain his previous self-taught lessons.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'Splinter Of The Mind's Eye' sets out the manifesto: “I'm afraid of sad songs, afraid of what they'll do...so I made a firm decision that I'd hardly ever listen and I’d never sing them to myself or you.” But we're through the looking glass, and what he’s afraid of is now what drives him. As if in defiance of the sad song, fiddles create eddies through repeatedly chiming guitar, a cello building underneath for maximum undertow. 'Eponymous' sticks flags in this untouched territory, boldly declaring “I've got reservations, I'm not sure I'll get away with this, I've got no expectations, I'm not sure my heart is even in this” – we couldn't be further from the bold, antisocial thrash of his other self. Deliberating on a blank book alongside a collection of prolific authors ('A Study in Emerald'), daydreaming about him and his wife meeting younger ('Crayola'), and memorised reality versus physical and mental regeneration ('Memory Beta'), Non Canon charms a narrative and converses with considered wordplay.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“It started as a little challenge to myself to see if I could write something other than the loud riffy stuff I've always done with Oxygen Thief and previous bands I was in,” says Barry. “It's kind of snowballed from there really – I never really expected it to be anything other than a bunch of songs I could look at with a sense of achievement at finishing, and then I'd get on with the next OT record.” Having received support from close friends, his wife and Xtra Mile, he set about recording in February 2016 with some of the songs done at home and some in OneCat Studio in Brixton. All the strings, piano and drums were written on an iPad before being sent to musicians to learn and play on recordings. Chris T-T's piano playing stand out on 'Bad Twin', while Ben Marwood and Charlie Barnes (a touring member of Bastille) contributed backing vocals, along with Gareth from My First Tooth playing drums, and the guitarist from Barry’s first ever band playing violin and viola.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The unstoppable, wide-eyed, rump-shaking force of Skinny Lister continues apace with the announcement of their third studio album <b>‘The Devil, The Heart & The Fight’</b> to be released on <b>30th September 2016 </b>through Xtra Mile Recordings. </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">With lead single </span><b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">‘Wanted’ – </b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">a fiery Elvis-gone-folk roar of an opener that sees frontman Dan Heptinstall saluting London, New York and Cairo in a song “about looking for life in the cities we’d visit” – ‘The Devil, The Heart & The Fight’ comes out fists first. </span></div>
<br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
If their folk debut album (Forge & Flagon, 2012) celebrated the sticks and their punkier second (Down On Deptford Broadway, 2015) blinked in the bright lights of London; their rocked-up third, ‘The Devil, The Heart & The Fight’, sees them go global. Pieced together while on the road, and recorded over five weeks in Newcastle Under Lyme’s Silk Mill Studio in May 2016 with producer Tristan Ivemy (Frank Turner, The Holloways), it is Skinny Lister’s most far-reaching, exciting and accomplished album yet. It’s a full-on rock record that splashes even more punk vigour and eighties pop elements across their fervent folk canvas, taking in hints of Adam Ant and The Clash. It also brings the folk storytelling tradition bang up to date with its brutally honest and close to the knuckle lyrics of real-life stories (‘Geordie Lad’, ‘Charlie’) and on-the-road mayhem, the Pogue-ish ‘Hamburg Drunk’.</div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">A mature, vibrant and varied record, it mingles classic Skinny folk romances (‘Grace’, ‘Reunion’) with epic rock takes on rafter-rattling shanties (‘Beat It From The Chest’) and hearty Dexys-style tributes to the fans they meet on the road (‘Fair Winds & Following Seas’), plus a hitherto unseen darker side. Take the deceptively upbeat ‘Injuries’, Dan’s ode on the bruising nature of life, or ‘Devil In Me’, in which Lorna comes on like a particularly melodic Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction: “the devil in me will come for you and you’ll pay the price for not being very nice… you took my life, I’m taking yours, that seems to me a fair trade”. Gulp.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">‘The Devil, The Heart & The Fight’ </b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">is like Skinny’s previous albums gone backpacking; expanding its horizons, full of adventure, discovering itself and doing things it regrets in the morning. Have heart, ye devils, join the fight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">With the exception of the 5 weeks recording the album, Skinny Lister have spent the last 18 months on the road touring across the UK, Europe and North America to ever-increasing crowds. Their infectious, feel-good and uplifting performances are winning over fans all across the globe, whether its supporting label mate Frank Turner on his arena tours or headlining their own sold out shows across America. They’re a twelve-legged party machine and one of the best live bands in the country. See for yourself on their biggest headline tour to date throughout October.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After signing his recording contract in the shadow of William Blake’s grave in London, it was only a matter of time before this curious artefact would be brought into the world. It’s a record that started life in the Hollywood Hills with a detour through the Mojave Desert, a cabin in Nashville, and a gothic church on the Yorkshire moors, and that ended up being recorded at Childwickbury Manor in St Albans, the former home of director Stanley Kubrick. It’s an ungodly collision of big country sound and misty isle musings – as thrilling a listen as is the story of its conception. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Produced by Nick Trepka and engineered by Jack Hobbs in a studio adjacent to Kubrick’s study, it allowed Saint Leonard to absorb the creative energy that has bounced around the building. Putting sounds down in the place where parts of famed movies The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut were filmed, as well as drawing inspiration from filmic memorabilia that has found resting places there, has lent an ominous quality to the record. You can hear it in the echoes of melancholy sweeping through the harmonica intro to ‘Well, Well, Well’, it seeps into the spaces and bends between notes on ‘Spooky Lover’, the tinkly of piano and strummed, dusty chords of ‘Goddess Of Electric Gold’, and the echoed piano stabs on ‘The Strangelove Hotel Suite’. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But this isn’t the only palette available to Saint Leonard’s Horses, not by a long shot. ‘Long John Silver’ is an Americana-steeped bluesy riot, rhyming Hotel California with Johnnie Walker and leading with honky tonk piano. The build from fiddle drone to dynamic crescendo, borrowing from gospel, rendering drama with orchestral strides, warped guitar chimes and biting solos, it’s all storytelling via sound, soaked in experience.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And all of this is a whiskey and sawdust backdrop for Saint Leonard’s lucid, intoxicated, dream-like and twisted lyrics, depicting friendships ‘made in haunted houses’ to tales of Los Angeles. Fractured and surreal though they may sometimes be, his words just help bring scratchy, authentic sepia to life; often vibrant, sometimes violent, even bold and beautiful. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Explaining further, Saint Leonard says: “I wanted to make a record that unflinchingly documented and almost forensically examined the extremely peripatetic and emotionally turbulent two years I had during the odyssey of its conception. To that extent the album is a self-analysing artefact of my psyche. I wanted it to express the intense polarities of the experience both internal and external, psychic and geographic, in all it's ecstatic, beatific, horrific, glamorous, occult, painfully narcissistic, quasi-mystical, robustly loving and ultimately redemptive wonder. </span></div>
</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Essentially: The feel good hit record of late Autumn/Winter 2016 (nee; Soundtrack the twilight of our species.)”</span></div>

</div>
<div class="NoSpacing">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the past few years Leonard has toured the UK and USA supporting and playing shows with Ryan Adams, Father John Misty, Bob Dylan, The Strokes, Beck, The Libertines, Billy Bragg and Wolfmother. The live band then further honed their skills and the songs through extensive touring and festival appearances (including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, The Great Escape, SXSW and British Summer Time in Hyde Park). Saint Leonard’s Horses will now unleash these fully-formed songs on live audiences wherever and whenever they can.</span></div>

his studio in Hoxton, the track is a statement of intent: <i>“Hello death is

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Lloyd’s solo EP is a
year in the making. Having started working with Jamie T back in March 2015, he
spent the summer producing tracks with Hugo White (The Maccabees) at the band’s
studio in Elephant & Castle. Together they re-produced 'Happy Humans' and
‘Pilgrims' - demo versions of which have racked up over 200k streams already
online, after Lloyd recorded them at home on his 8-track - and ‘Dreamland',
which all feature on the new release.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">The resulting 4-track
EP is an exciting, rousing but melancholic work about <i>"new beginnings, realisations
and trying to find a place in life”.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">Aside from the
release, 2016 is set to be an exciting year for Lloyd. Having recently
supported Jamie T, Mystery Jets, The Maccabees and Black Honey, Johnny will be
playing at The Great Escape, 2000Trees Festival, Dot To Dot and many more
throughout the summer. <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Xtra Mile Recordings are delighted to announce that they will take over the Axiom Stage at </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2000Trees Festival</b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> for the whole of </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thursday 7 July 2016.</b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> The relationship between the label and the festival has long been strong both sharing a passion for brilliant feel-good music. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Joining in the festival’s tenth anniversary celebrations, Xtra Mile has ten acts playing across the weekend, including the takeover of the Axiom Stage. Confirmed so far is the gruff, upbeat poetry from <b>Beans On Toast</b>; the diverse, folk-infused politicism of <b>Crazy Arm;</b> some tender yet sharp self-deprecation via <b>Ben Marwood; Rob Lynch</b>’s positive and indelible pop songs, and the melodic schism of <b>Oxygen Thief’</b>s ferocious and intelligent thrash. There is more to be announced as well as stage times which will be available nearer the weekend.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are four more artists playing across the weekend. Two of the newest signings play on Friday – ex-Operahouse and Tribes vocalist <b>Johnny Lloyd </b>playing new solo material from his upcoming EP Dreamland (out 10 June), produced by Hugo White (The Maccabees) and Jamie T, and Brighton’s uplifting up-and-comers <b>The RPMs, </b>drawing from their live back catalogue and four-track EP Digital Disobedience (out 24 June). Saturday sees the eclectic patchwork-dance form of Sam Duckworth’s<b> Recreations,</b> as well as increasingly-popular gift of a songwriter<b> Will Varley.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Xtra Mile has often had a strong presence at 2000Trees, having had Frank Turner play the very first in 2007 and on three more occasions, including headlining, Ben Marwood, as well as previous XMR acts Jamie Lenman (2014), Sucioperro (2011), and Sonic Boom Six (2010). Fans have long connected the label and the festival, with the infamous, Camp Reuben, Camp Marwood and Camp Turner springing up over the years, allowing like-minded XMR fans to meet, sing, laugh, and occasionally watch impromptu solo sets by our artists. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2000trees Festival organiser James Scarlett says “we’ve had such great links with Xtra Mile over the years that it seemed the obvious decision to partner with them for our 10th anniversary. I’m particularly excited about the Thursday night Axiom Stage which features an incredible line up of Trees’ Xtra Mile favourites with more to be announced. Watch this space!”</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt;">The RPMs are Jack Valero (lead vocals and guitar),
Miguel Cosme (bass and backing vocals) and Callum James (drums). Taking the
classic and enduring sounds of Tom Petty, The La's, Arctic Monkeys and The Who,
with their stripped back sound they describe themselves as a rock band not afraid
of a good pop tune. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

track </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt;">'Down That Road Again' (produced by Tristan
Ivemy) was featured on 2015's Xtra Mile High Club Vol. 6 – the sixth annual

Charlie Caplowe says: “</span><i><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Ever since we discovered The RPMs,
adding them as an unsigned favourite to our last Xtra Mile High Club
compilation, we’ve been beavering away madly behind the scenes to get to this
moment. We are over the moon to announce the signing of the lads to the Xtra
Mile family</span></i><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt;">.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt;">And of their signing,
The RPMs said "<i>We're incredibly excited to be given the opportunity to
work with the fantastic Xtra Mile team. We are proud to take our place on the family
tree and can't wait to see where it takes us!"</i></span><i><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">Xtra Mile Recordings </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri;">and <b>Frank
Turner</b> are excited to announce the CD release of <b><i>Ten For Ten</i></b>. This set of
ten tracks, handpicked by Frank, was originally released on vinyl as part of <b><i>The
First Ten Years </i></b>boxed set released late 2015. A 7LP set, it included <i>The First</i>,<i> Second </i>and<i> Third Three Years</i>
compilations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now on CD for the first time, <i>Ten For Ten </i>spans the last ten years of Frank’s career. It boasts a
host of demos, live and alternative tracks including the original demo of
long-term live favourite ‘The Ballad of Me and My Friends’, live versions of ‘I
Am Disappeared’, ‘Substitute’ and ‘Isabel’, and previously unreleased /
non-album tracks ‘Old Flames’ (featuring Billy the Kid) and ‘Atlanta Curse’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It’s an intriguing addition to any FT collection,
and a completist's dream, as it showcases the origins and development of some
of his most-loved songs, along with some newer gems that are sure to become
back catalogue classics. It nicely rounds off the decade covered by the <i>Three Years </i>compilations, leaving a
clean slate for the next ten years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Frank is currently touring <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>Canada,
both solo and full band shows with support from Canadian labelmate Northcote,
having started the year with a European tour. He will return to Europe in
March, including his longest run of dates in Spain so far. Festival dates are
filling up for Frank, and he's currently slated to appear at Groezrock in
Belgium and Southside and Hurricane festivals in Germany this summer. He will
also be on the second Flogging Molly Salty Dog Cruise in March.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's been a long road form when he was carrying
just a rucksack and an acoustic guitar, playing dive bars, pubs, squats, house
parties and anywhere else that would have him, and slinging homemade demo CDs
at the shows. In 2015 , Frank released his sixth studio album, <b><i>Positive
Songs For Negative People,</i></b> which entered the Official Album Chart at
number 2, only beaten to the top spot by Dr. Dre’s <i>Straight Outta Compton</i>
soundtrack (the ex-NWA hip hop artist's first album in 16 years).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Mull Historical Society (Colin MacIntyre) will
celebrate his birthday this year, on 8<sup>th</sup> April 2016, by releasing
his seventh album <i>Dear Satellite</i> through Xtra Mile Recordings. The album
was produced by Grammy award-winning Dom Morley, known for his work on Amy
Winehouse's <i>Back To Black</i>, as well as working with Adele, Grinderman and
Sting. He also produced Colin's first album on Xtra Mile Recordings, <i>City
Awakenings</i> released in 2012. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Listen
to the first taste of the album here - <span style="color: red;"><a href="https://youtu.be/_d_BK5-1PVk">‘The Ballad Of Ivor Punch’</a></span>. The
song’s central character is also the main protagonist in Colin’s debut </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">novel, <i>The Letters
of Ivor Punch</i>, published in hardback last year. It won the Edinburgh
International Book Festival's First Book award and will be released in
paperback edition the day before his birthday and the release of <i>Dear
Satellite</i>.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">The album is ten tracks of floating, positive,
textually diverse pop songs. The spring morning brightness spread across
'Sleepy Hollow' and 'This Little Sister' may leap you into optimistic, slightly
cheerful abandon but 'Why Do They Go So Soon' wrings a little melancholy into
the warmth. The odd off-key whistling underpinning the rhyming acoustic pop of
'Bones' meshes the weird elements you'd have expected from MHS of old, while
the chiming synth-drive of 'The Ballad of Ivor Punch' reaches into <st1:place w:st="on">Arcade</st1:place> Fire-esque indie rock. 'All the Love Remains' and
'Each Other' captures the sweet and serious strumming that MHS has made his
own, while the album closes with the reflective, sky-and-soul-searching
'Farewell to Finisterre', continuing the seeming interest of Xtra Mile
Recordings bands in space and star gazing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Colin says<st1:personname w:st="on">:</st1:personname>
“<i>I couldn’t be happier with the album. It
is 10 songs, 36 minutes, and it feels like a perfect distillation of what I can
do, and my best work. I’ve really pushed myself as a songwriter and tried to
challenge myself to evolve sonically and capture a unique atmosphere within the
album. There is a lot of space in it, lushness, but also it feels punchy and
melodically pop. It is about home, getting home, leaving home, finding home,
whatever planet or street or field you live on. Whatever home means to you. I
think having a new music publishing deal with BMG/Xtra Mile Music has also made
me reach for higher. I’m so excited to see it enter the world. It looks bloody
good too!</i>” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">‘Fizzy Brain’, the band’s
third album, </span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">was
produced by <b>Owen Turner</b> (Bearsuit,
Magoo, The Broken Family Band) at Sickroom Studios in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Norfolk</st1:place></st1:city>.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> Following on from their previous
two, the self-titled debut from 2010 and <i>Dance
Before You Sleep</i> from 2014, they've collectively cranked the vitality and
volume while building melody, texture and drama with violins, gang vocals and
amplification. Whilst all the while retaining the pace and dynamics that
brought Ducking Punches to such live acclaim.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Speaking
of the album, frontman Dan Allen says: “<i>We
are so proud of this record, it was written much more collaboratively than
previous releases and I think this has made for far stronger songs. It
carries similar themes to Dance Before You Sleep in that it touches on loss,
mental health, death and love. However, it is a far more hopeful record. This
one was so cathartic albeit it often heartbreaking to write and I really hope
everyone digs it.</i>”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">With a soaring sound that
seems only to get larger with each album, these songs are as stirring as they
are a call-to-arms, as blaring and exhilarating as they can be heart-rending
and tender.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Originally the solo acoustic
songs of vocalist and guitarist Dan Allen, Ducking Punches are now a punk/rock
quintet. Hailing from Norwich, the band has nearly 1,000 shows under their
belt, including a European tour in 2014 with Frank Turner and Andrew Jackson
Jihad, as well as festival sets at Reading and Leeds, Download, Groezrock, FEST
and support slots alongside The Hold Steady, The Menzingers, Teenage
Bottlerocket, Franz Nicolay and Leatherface.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“<i>This record exudes the spirit, and true meaning of punk from the core
of the band. This is not a folk punk record that’s full of jigs about drinking,
or even filled with protest songs. ‘Dance Before You Sleep’ is nine tracks of
well-written, cohesive songs that are straight from the heart, which is exactly
the place that punk should come from</i>.” <b>Punktastic

<span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“<i>Ducking Punches … delivered a frankly majestic set of emotion-soaked
punk rock. Not only were the songs the band played hugely passionate and real,

performance too</i>.” - <b><i>The Punk Archive</i></b>.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Frontman Daniel Heptinstall explains further: “The song is a declaration of love for the city in which me and the rest of the band spent many years. A virtual walk through the dirty city streets with its rich array of sights, sounds and characters.As well as many North London references, the song name-checks Deptford where many of the band lived for many years, and where we first got together as friends, and as a band. Six Whiskies has turned out to be a great live boozy sing-along favourite.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">From day one, Skinny Lister set out to cause chaos and make friends, travelling to the four corners of the globe plying their unique rum-soaked blend of English folk and punk rock anarchy. Wherever they play their lusty shanties, punk folk roar-alongs and crazed whirls of love, fighting and hardcore drinking – you’ll find them out dancing with the crowd, passing around their flagon of rum or crowd-surfing to the bar to neck shots mid-song. Make no bones – Skinny Lister are the wildest party band you’ll ever get drunk with. And you will get drunk with them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Released<b> 1st December 2015</b> on Xtra Mile Recordings</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Cult legend and all round hero”<b> LOUDER THAN WAR</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“Behind the humour there are serious political messages of equality and general respect for one another.” <b>CLASH</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“Beans is all about the connection. It’s all about getting across simple but lost messages that we should be good and honest to each other and find value in what is really important.” <b>MUSOS GUIDE</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Rolling Up The Hill,</b> the new<b> Beans on Toast</b> album, is his most creative record to date andit’s an album all about friendship, travel and art. It’s also about drinking, protesting and growing older in these strange modern times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first track lifted from the album is <b>‘The Great American Novel’</b>, Beans’ love letter to America. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">His seventh studio album in the same amount of years will be released as usual on 1st December via Xtra Mile Recordings. It was recorded this August in Kansas with husband and wife country duo<b> Truckstop Honeymoon</b>. Beans met the duo at Larmer Tree festival last year, and after hanging out and playing some shows with them in New Orleans they hatched a plan to go to The Ninth Ward Picking Parlour in Lawrence, Kansas to make an album together. The duo brings together double bass, mandolin and finger picking sounds to Beans on Toast unique art of songwriting. Of course though,they were still joined by long-term partner in crime <b>Bobby Banjo</b>, on harp and banjo. Throw in a couple of Kansas players dropping in some horns and some drums and you’ve got a Beans on Toast album that is fresh, fun and exciting whilst at the same time not losing any of Beans on Toast’s original cheap and easy English attitude that has got him to where he is today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ten years in the game and Beans has built up something of an underground following around the world, and is now ramming out festival fields and tents on the UK circuit and constantly touring new and foreign land. This year alone he’s played shows on rooftops in Cape Town, tropical islands in the Barbados, folk festivals in Canada and covered over 10,000 miles in the USA. He also toured the fringes on the UK in the wake of the terrible result at this year’s election, taking in the mood of the country by visiting Harlow, Preston, Chester and the like. He has, of course, got songs all about these travels.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As usual Beans on Toast has made the album he wants to make it; no rules, no one to impress, just simple opinionated songs about honest subjects.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tracklist: </span><br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1.
