Next Stop Olympus
EP: Heart, Mind & Hell
Release: 9th April 2021

Hailing from Salisbury, UK, NEXT STOP OLYMPUS have started causing a riot as colossal as their name might suggest, with the release of their new EP ‘Heart, Mind & Hell’.

Mixing the heavy breakdowns and screaming vocals of Metalcore with the intricate guitars and anthemic choruses of classic Rock n’ Roll, which the band have crafted their own unique brand of Modern Metalcore, riddled with nostalgic vibes that will have you banging your head & raising your horns to the sky!

Matt Gray, the bassist and vocalist talks about ‘Heart, Mind & Hell’, “The EP highlights a person’s journey through the betrayal and collapse of any relationship and turning to personally destructive tendencies as a means to cope before ultimately giving in to the personal demons simmering at the surface.”

Also Conor McEniry, the lead vocalist tells, “We took a massive step up with every aspect of this EP, from the writing process to the recording. Taking a much more personal route with the way we put the songs together to tell the story that each member of the band can relate to.” 

One song especially you need to pay attention is ‘The Ignorance of Us’. Conor explains to us,  “Sometimes when words have failed you, all you have left is to scream. The Ignorance of Us is a reminder not to break yourself to fix another, with the desperation that comes with a splintered connection. The song follows the emotional journey through a relationship that is falling apart, with one side refusing to take any of the responsibility for their involvement in its demise! This song is all about release; the embodiment of frustration, anger and despair all in one massive punch of Anthemic Metalcore.”

Mercury Machine
Debut Album: Mercury Machine
Release Date: 15th February 2019

Hailing from Manchester, Mercury Machine are an 80s inspired Dark Electro band. From their home in an old Cotton Mill in East Manchester, they have been plotting their world domination, finely tuning their sound and planning ahead. After releasing several singles in 2018, they were finally ready to release their self-titled debut album. The release was supported by a sold out album launch show at Manchester’s iconic venue Night People in February 2019, which brought attentions to reviewers. The buzz led them to perform at Juwenalia Music Festival in Warsaw, Poland. This festival is described as the largest music festival in Central and Eastern Europe, last year attracting up to 30,000 people per day. The quintet are now playing gigs throughout Europe to promote their music in 2019.

The centre of the Machine is Lee Maguire with the mathematical mastermind. The
influence of his autism is reflected in the subject and sound of the music, with
continuing themes of isolation and stifled communication flowing throughout their
work. The other parts of the Machine are: Tim Burge (Lead Guitar), Gav Foley
(Drums), Carl Street (Bass) and Kade ‘the Kid’ Daniels (Keyboards). Their live set is electronically centred and an almost orchestral in the size of the sound. Together they are on a mission to bring this wall of sound to audiences in all its glory.  Their debut album is atmospheric and epic. Listen to it now!

RMCK
Debut EP: RMCK
Release Date: 19th June 2017

Hailing from Belfast, RMCK is a post-rock and experimental project that plays extremely loud, heavily distorted banjo, and uses loops to create hypnotic swirls of sound. I am familiar with the tunes performed with violin and loops, but this is the first time I am listening to the sound of the combination of banjo and loop. RMCK‘s music is unique, cosmical and authentically dreamy.

RMCK works alone and is solely interested in crafting music that he finds interesting. It is not yet known if RMCK will perform live. Solid Choice know who RMCK is, but respect his wishes regarding his anonymity. Just enjoy the music!

Templeton Pek

New Album: Watching The World Come Undone

Release Date: 23rd February 2018

Templeton Pek profile

templeton pek album

Hailing from Birmingham, a powerful rock trio Templeton Pek have just released their stunning album “Watching The World Come Undone”.

They are the most exciting political melodic hardcore bands of our time, and the band prove it with their new release.

Templeton Pek are pondering the question why we as human beings sabotage our political climate, our environment and ourselves. After a historically unique seventy-year period of peace in Europe, the band’s home country is isolating itself, submitting millions of people to a hopeless situation. Musically and lyrically, “Watching The World Come Undone” is the strongest record of the band’s career to date and deals, along with the political component, with existential questions, presenting a previously unknown diversity. Vocalist Neal Mitchel says: “It’s as close to a concept album as we could get. From day one of writing the album, we had a clear idea of its vibe and general feel.” “Watching The World Come Undone” is a very personal analysis of an increasingly complex and confusing world. The fictitious city on the artwork emphasises the band’s fixation with the self-destruction of mankind and is, according to Neal, part of the total work of art that is “Watching The World Come Undone”: “Like earth itself we start off with abundant green landscapes, like the innocence of our youth. We then gradually go on to obstruct, develop and pollute it beyond recognition, the colours oppose each other and are radically different, the orange cutting crudely and uncomfortably through the calm green.”

After ten active years since they formed in in music, the band has earned itself the status of veterans of the melodic hardcore scene and has correspondingly high expectations of its latest release: Neal tells “From the beginning we wanted this to be one of the albums that contain one great song after the other.” Every one of the ten tracks had to have single potential. They wanted their album number five to be a testament to their current creative power. The trio teamed up with fellow Brummie Davey Warsop (Badcop Badcop, Vanishing Line), and the result is an album that asks the right questions at the right time, that tackles the important problems of the world and that for Templeton Pek themselves with “Watching The World Come Undone”  is their most mature and considered offering to date.

Enjoy this amazing album:

Lady Jane’s Revenge

New Single: Heroes

New EP: Lady Jane’s Revenge

Release Date: 27th October 2017

Lady Jane's Revenge

Hailing from Cornwall, an alternative modern rock quartet Lady Jane’s Revenge have released the band’s self-titled EP, which is their second release since releasing the debut EP “1554” about two years ago.  They celebrated this occasion with a special live performance recently, which the group have had the opportunity to share the stage with the emblematic Crazy Town. The recently presented successful single”Heroes” is about strong and undeniable opinions on the current state of the world and the society nowadays, and is outlined by dynamic and diversified guitar sections and memorable vocal lines. Their EP “Lady Jane’s Revenge” combines numerous different musical influences, and was all polished and prepared in Outhouse Studios (Architects, Enter Shikari, Deaf Havana, You Me At Six, Steven Wilson, Funeral For A Friend and many more).

The overall concept of this EP is for everyone to hopefully realise that we are strong enough to make changes to our world individually or hopefully by everyone realising that if we unite and come together – we are in control. And we don’t need to do absolutely everything we are told by anyone. Every living being that is being born on this earth is worthy of a slice of land and input, so let’s learn to do this together and make the world a better place.”  – Lady Jane’s Revenge

Lou Foulkes

Single: Falling Asleep

Release Date: 18/08/17

unnamed (5)

British singer songwriter from Greater Manchester, Lou Foulkes released his new single “Falling Asleep” on 18th August.

Following self-releasing his debut EP ‘Grin & Bear It’ in 2016, which garnered a reasonable amount of attention in the UK and Europe, Foulkes did a very intimate acoustic show in London that was attended by people from as far as Finland. Then he was invited to make an appearance on one of the UK’s favourite soaps, “Emmerdale” as a busker. After recording his new material earlier this year, Foulkes is eager to get his new music out there and looks forward to the next chapter in his career. He is the one to watch out this year.

Falling Asleep is a song about a dramatically failing relationship, when everything feels as if it’s going wrong. The chorus is supposed to be a final plea before the seemingly inevitable breakdown. You should listen to my music because well, we all get sad sometimes.”  – Lou Foukes

Exactly a year go, I reviewed Luna Rosa‘s single “This One (High On The Groove)” just before it was released. The song was from their latest self-titled EP. Luna Rosa are an alternative indie rock band hailing from Corby, Northamptonshire. Recently I was very excited to hear that they were releasing a new single.

“Mercurial Man” is constructed with three moods, which makes the song a more interesting kind psychedelic-indie-rock’n’roll.  The band show signs of a jazz influence or background which they have brought into indie rock. This is one of the elements that leads to the band being unique.
