Review: Billy Liar - This House is a Fire Hazard

This song lulls you in with a false sense of security,
the intro moodily skulks along, and then without warning it hits you. The fast paced tale of night time debauchery races along and leaves you running to catch up.

Review: James Hollingsworth LIVE

Image

James Hollingsworth is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter/musician who, as well as fronting rock band Jebo, thankfully manages to find the time to work the England/Wales live music circuit.

There are two things I've noticed at the James Hollingsworth gigs I've been to; generally, no-one buggers off outside to smoke (damn that ban!) and secondly, people hardly talk. True story. Everyone is too busy being awestruck by his powerful lyrics, haunting melodies and refreshing onstage chat.

Interview: Butler-Williams

Image

If you are an avid reader of the TSM Radio interviews you will know that I put a lot of research into the artists prior to the interview process. So it was a big surprise that my latest interviewees Butler-Williams chose their name in honour of 70s bawdy British comedy. Chris Butler was obviously a fan of On The Buses and took his name from Blakey's nemesis Stan Butler and is apparent that Noel Williams is a massive fan of actor Kenneth Williams who as we all know was a stalwart of the Carry On films. Their new album 'Up the Back Passage and Down the Hole' is available in the summer. Of course non of this is true...oo'err missus.

Interview: James Hollingsworth

Bristol based singer/songwriter James Hollingsworth took some time out to do this week's TSM Radio interview. On James' website he has a section which has links to other people named James Hollingsworth. I thought this was a good idea so I googled my name only to find out that it is shared with a second hand toilet roll sales man from Scunthorpe, a bearded lady and a bloke from Massachusetts who likes to wear rubber outfits and fill them with helium then roll around on the floor all day like a weeble. Needless to say I will be giving the annual 'Aynz' gathering a miss this year.

Review: Butler-Williams - Keep Your Head Down E.P.



Butler-Williams is exactly what we have all been waiting for, you might not know it yet, but we were all waiting. The duo has brought us a modern twist on the genre that Nick Drake, Bob Dylan and even Jeff Buckley helped create. Chris Butler and Noel Williams have made an EP that would make any folk fan proud. Keep Your Head Down shows the two Manchurian men are talented in their own right despite their obvious influences.

Review: Ambrose Tompkins - No More Black Times

The beautiful sound of Ambrose Tompkins is something that we have always been waiting for, even if we didn't know it. A fresh take on the ambient genre, the unique folk nature of this five-piece hailing from England's lovely Midlands definitely makes them something to shout about (but maybe not whilst you are listening to the track - you might ruin the tranquility of it all).
