Brian's favorite video this week is Dark Horse by Who Killed Nancy Johnson?

No 3: Pyramid Park
Winter 2017 saw Cambridge based artist Pete McCallen a.k.a. PYRAMID PARK release the second single Born To Be Brave from his wonderfully crafted debut album Vulnerability
Recorded in Glasgow at Gloworm Studio’s with producer Iain Hutchison, the alt-pop artist and Hutchison created an album based on their mutual faith. References are as broad as Phoria, Two Door Cinema Club and Gabriel Khane.
No 4: Speak, Brother

Speak, Brother are regaling us once more with their lush vocal harmonies, rustic instrumentation and contagious heartfelt lyrics.
Look out for the release of their latest single Magnesium Burn prior to the debut album Young & Brave which is due for release13^th April and it will be accompanied by a UK headline tour.
No 5: Norquay

When the muse comes a calling they say there's no stopping her inspiration; just ask songwriter/musician Andrew Norquay. After years away from music due to commitments as a commercial diver, the creative roar within Andrew has erupted, bringing a new energy and adventure for his alt rock sound.
No 6: The White Lakes

Brian's Video Of The week for Ralph's Life is Call Me Up by young Oxford indie guitar band The White Lakes. Their bouncy new single is available to download now on iTunes and SpotifyThe White Lakes are...Matt on Rhythm guitar and vocals.
Alex on lead guitar and vocals.

Charlie on bass guitar and backing vocals.

Kyle on drums.

No 7: Wozniak
Brian's favorite video this week is Ghosting by Edinburgh band Wozniak which is taken from their critically acclaimed Colour Reels album released in April last year.

Wozniak purvey atmospheric shoe-gaze of the highest quality and that's evident in this latest offering from the album. Go seek it out.

No 8:Granfalloon
Granfalloon is the musical moniker of Richard Lomax and his folktronica group based in Manchester. Folktronica is a mixture of folk and electronica. Instruments include Omnichords, acoustic guitars, Casio keyboards, and 80's drum machines. 

It's a delightfully laid back slice of addictive lo-fi electronic goodness which is lyrically both poignant and amusing. Brian will be spinning Ambulance on the Radio KC Indie Show on Sunday 4th of February so tune in!

No 9: Sheafs
SHEAFSare a five-piece indie rock band from Sheffield, which formed in the later end of 2015 comprise Lawrence Feenstra (lead vocals), Chris Goodacre (guitar/backing vocals), Charles Mellor (guitar), Callum Wright (bass/backing vocals), Charlie Eastap (drums).
Following on from the legacy of breakthrough single, This Is Not A Protest, new track, Shock Machineis a bold step up in both power of performance and size of hooks used.
No 10: Bad Llama

We played the last Bad Llama single Apocrypha on the Radio KC Indie Show in November of last year to much critical comment, so it's no surprise we bring you news of their latest single Crooked Empire as a precursor to the imminent release of their EP of the same name. 

The single will be getting a pre-release spin on The Indie Show of 18.2.18 so remember to tune in from 5-7pm.
