    This is the last ever Is This Thing On Podcast episode. BUT we continue under the new name of Nick Tanns Fresh Music Fix. As I explain in the audio, I have to close this feed down as I can't get the new show out until I do. If you want to continue to the new show, which is pretty much the same show, then go to nicktannsfreshmusicfix.com, add your email address and sign up. Then you will get an email when the first show goes live. Then you can sign up to that if you wish. If you have any questions, make a comment via this website and I will do my best to answer it or use the contact form below. This site will stay just where it is and you can still listen to the many hundreds of episodes it has. I love you all GOODBYEEEEEEE!

    Sounds crazy but make sure to subscribe to this if you want to find out out about the NEW podcast. I still have some work to do to make the new show happen and it will take a few weeks before I have it all together so I will need a way to let you know. Listen to the show to find out what it will be called but I will be posting on the website when it is all ready. In the meantime, the last show that Chris and I recorded and explains more about how and why we are changing the podcast. We also welcome any suggestions. REMEMBER SUBSCRIBE NOW! 'Rock Atmospherique" with a real feel of Leonard Cohen, Interpol, Mogwai & the National whilst diving into Shoe Gaze type stoner rock with stunning vocals from. We play and chat about Le Bruit and Idle hands, Head swinging, driving pop with Divine Comedy vibes. We play and praise Carl Street and California. In his hard rocking to the late great Jim Morrison, we experience what it's like to listen to Michael Botte Bandand Other Side on headphones. It's great! "An indie rock banger, steeped in 90s nostalgia but bang up to date in execution". It says here and we can't help but agree. I would add that there is a touch of Stone Roses and The Stranglers. With vocals from Jeff of JHM (Ontario) and MJ Adamo (Long Island, NY) What started off as a student band from Cheshire in the 1990s called DontARgue have now bloomed into TheFods and VolumesOfSilence os one of 7 brand new songs from their spanky new ep availsble here. And finally, remember when Coldplay when they actually meant something good? If you love Midlands indie rock outfits, then Little Juke and When The Sea Came To Tea are just what you need! It's a superb piece of music that will put you in mind of Radiohead, Foals and Arcade Fire. We loved it! Remember to subscribe, and we will see you on the other side!

    MORA and the fabulous wonderfuls - Bring Me Fire WSO Mix, MORA & the Fabulous Wonderfuls bring a unique blend of righteous anger and soul-lifting songs to rouse your spirit and move your feet - combining their passions for music and justice to defy genre with atmospheric prog-protest punk...for the masses! MORA & the Fabulous Wonderfuls is a unique father daughter duo, of George Guitar Borowski and his daughter, who is gifted with a voice described as “Janis Joplin meets Nina Simone”, MORA performs with her hand-picked top-drawer players; The Fabulous Wonderfuls! Together they have been captivating audiences with pieces reflecting our times, sharing compassion with conviction and shaking the foundations with powerful vocals and unifying anthems. They quickly found themselves in demand on the festival circuit and will be releasing their first album in spring 2025. Drawing on a rich musical heritage and an inclusive sense of troubadour camaraderie, MORA & the Fabulous Wonderfuls never fail to raise the voices, hands and hearts of the people they meet and share their music with. "Whenever we perform 'Bring Me Fire' live we always mention Pauline Town and We Shall Overcome. So it's only fitting that we release it as a soli-charity single to support the incredible frontline work they do to support homeless people in Greater Manchester. A load of our generous musical friends donated their time and talents to the single. It's a passionate, explosive track with a righteous, rousing call to action chorus elevated by the many musicians who lent their voices, including Jimi Goodwin, Danny Cawley, Taylor Giacoma, June Holland, Cobalt Tales and of course The Purpletones! " Grete - SKINNY BONES MASTER V2 Grete is ready to reintroduce herself to the world - in the form of a brand new project. 'Skinny Bones' is the perfect start to Grete’s new era: sweet, funky and catchy, while still retaining Grete’s hallmark powerful delivery. The new pop appeal of Grete’s music can be attributed to artists like Tove Lo, ELIZA, The Weeknd and even Whitney Houston. 'Skinny Bones' is a story about strongly disliking someone - despite the song’s glitzy presentation. Grete was born and raised in a little Eastern-European country called Lithuania and started singing when she was only 3 years old. She began her young artist and performer career in small ensembles and bands and was quickly spotted and drawn to the biggest stages in the country, such as tv competitions, musical theatre, international concerts and contests, and even the finals of The Voice of Lithuania. Grete chose to leave Lithuania and start fresh in the UK. She is graduated pop music vocals in RNCM n 2024. After the release of her first EP ‘Grey’ the artist is back with a completely different genre. , Nick Tann - You Treat Me Mean. Silverlake - I should be digging Silverlake plays indie and dance inspired art-pop. Emerging from post-punk and art-rock, with creative bonds forged in house, funk and techno clubbing, diverse strands run through the music. It’s a unique blend, drawing on influences as diverse as Human League, Led Zeppelin, Jungle, Massive Attack, Curved Air, Dream Wife, Roxy Music and George Clinton. ‘Our songs are about work, love, sex and mortality. It's pop, but dark at the edges’. Featured on BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music. So why ‘Silverlake’? One night on our way home from a club, lights reflecting off the aftermath of a huge rainstorm made the road look like a big silver lake. And we liked the idea of finding some beauty on a West Midlands motorway... Silverlake is: Sally-Ann Parker – vocals Robin Dallaway – guitar & keyboards Tony Sherrard – bass & programming We love it when you subscribe.
