A big round up with, The Candy Strypers (FREE DOWNLOAD), Hector and The Leaves (FREE DOWNLOAD), Dot Dash - Half Remembered Dream and The Ace - Sonic Snapshots

Ok, I have fallen behind a little on the band features on the blog since starting the radio show on Radio Andra, where I have been playing and talking about the bands that contact the blog, it all takes time but I am going to try to get back up to speed with the blog posts, so I am going to do a round up and see if I can catch up!

About that radio show, it feels rather odd talking to myself for an hour, but I am getting more comfortable with it and will hopefully be getting a few guests in to bounce off.  If you have listened to any of the shows, I hope you have enjoyed the music.  You can listen to the latest one here:

The Candy Strypers have a new set of songs available on Soundcloud which you can download for free.  Sadly the label they were signed to for their single release folded pretty much after it was released, which seems to be a story I hear time and time again, but I am glad that these guys continue to put the music out there, go take a listen, download it and enjoy, don't forget to show some support on Facebook etc.

Hector and The Leaves hail from my hometown of Brighton, which automatically makes them really cool in my book, the fact that they back this up with a Free Download of three superb upbeat, bouncy tunes means they get a great big double like from me, oh, and the fact that the cover photo is taken on the beautiful South Downs, possibly my favourite place in the whole world wins them extra kudos!  
In all seriousness, the music is great,  great melodies, great lyrics and a tip top production.

"Half Remembered Dream" is Dot Dash's third long player and I think that they have really nailed it this time, that is not to say that the first two albums weren't great, but this one ticks all the boxes, with plenty of hooks, charging guitars and pounding beats, these guys deserve to be massive.

Another band that are going from strength to strength is The Ace, this latest EP shows a band that are very quickly climbing to the top of their game and their game is draped in the fizzy sounds of 60's beat garage, with a touch of Bubblegum, a dash of soul and a dollop of pop making them a real toe tapping, upbeat affair and that is just what I we need!
