RALPH'S BRAND NEW TOP 10 CHARTPublished on 28.10.17 and as played afterRALPH'S INDIE SHOW on RADIO KC - 29.10.17 - from 5-7pm
No 1: Lucie Barât
Multi-talented artist Lucie Barâtis set to release her new single Take Me Away on 24th November via Alya Records. Being the sister of Carl Barât, of The Libertines fame, music is firmly embedded in Lucie’s blood. Having always performed in bands, combining a love of writing and performing, Lucie has recorded with legendary David Bowie producer, Mark Plati and more recently with The Au Revoirs
No 2: Purest
Yielding more swagger than a Kevin Shields customized Jazzmaster, the intense sounds of Sheffield guitar bandits Puresthave come knocking firmly at the door of mainstream radio with new singleWaiting Forto be released later this month.
The Sheffield 4-piece’ debut made such an overwhelming first impression on Gary Powell of The Libertinesthat he, along with label partner Wayne Clarke, signed them to their label 25 Hour Convenience Store Records for their second full release.
No 3: The Jade Assembly
No 4: Sugarmen
Ralph's favorite video this week is the excellent and trippy Push Button Age by Liverpool band Sugarmen
The track is on their soon to be released debut album Local Freaks which sees it's launch party in The Sebright Arms, London on October 5th.
No 5: Snippet
Colchester's favorite son Johnno Casson aka Snippet is the uncrowned king of feelgood pop-esque music and his latest album Human Good isn't bucking that trend.
Johnno takes you on a journey of "people-rich" stories that encompasses a wide array of characters including fraudsters, pimps, prostitutes, drinkers, users and abuser’s and simple everyday folk just trying to make sense of this world.No 6: Names
Limb by Limb by Pembrokeshire-based duo Names is the follow up single to Backs Turned, a song that has already been played on Ralph's Indie Show on Radio KC. It has been described elsewhere as “a wintry soundscape with all the fluency, space and atmosphere of the MogwaiLes Revenants soundtrack”.
Where do you go after creating such an assured artistic statement with your debut single? Limb by Limb is the answer. Names have shed any creative ego to create a raw, emotionally rich song devoid of self-indulgence and over reaching dramatization.
No 7:PAVES
No 8: CHROMA
South Wales trio CHROMA set to release their explosive new single Vampires October 27th via Datod Records with the track already available to download.
Vampiresis their first release since playing the BBC R1 Introducing Stages at Reading & Leeds Festival 2017. Needless to say Ralph's giving Vampires a spin on the Radio KC Indie Show so tune in on Sunday 5th November for the Bonfire Night Special from 5-7pm UK time.
No 9: HVNTER
HVNTERis the musical project of South Wales singer-songwriter and producer Jamie Willetts. His debut track Blood quickly racked up over 30,000 plays on Soundcloud within the first few weeks and recently he released his Ghost EPAlways at the vanguard, Ralph's giving it a pre-release spin on the Radio KC Indie Show Sunday October 29th. Tune in 5-7pm UK time.
No 10: Charlotte Carpenter
