So Say So With the diversity of popular music at an all time low itīs the bands who donīt follow the same formula that really stick out. While SoSaySo take their song writing cues from pop greats, mixing intriguing verses with irresistible choruses, its the multilayered orchestration between synth, violin, guitar and vocals that creates their evocative, euphoric, sometimes raucous, brand of `epic-popī so engaging and so different from their contemporaries. www.myspace.com/sosayso www.last.fm/music/SO+SAY+SO
Between Us And The Fire formed over a year ago between us and the fire combine the musical sensibilities of five worcester based high school buddies, (and still partying together 10 years on). having recently recorded their debut demo, comprising three tracks from their already established repertoire, they are currently exploring gig opportunities throughout the uk. drawing on the influences as far as battles, low and efterklang; they punctuate post-rock melodrama with unrelenting kraut-rock melodies. dynamic vocals propelled by arresting guitars and magnetic synths. www.myspace.com/betweenusandthefire www.last.fm/music/between+us+and+the+fire
Rich Clarke When observing a performance by Richard T Clarke one has to make a suitable excuse for the vast amount of uncontrollable 'girly' emotion pouring ... nay ... gushing out after hearing his amazingly moving pieces. The classic: "I've just got something in my eye" usually suffices, as Richard tugs at our heart strings with honest Old-London-Taan folk! Y-tooth combs at the ready and maybe a box of Man-size tissues, or the shoulder of a sympathetic bystander. www.myspace.com/richardclarkemusic
