exceptional bands and artists. Including, Third Whale, Black Country Communion,
Southbound Snake Charmers, Wobbler, Agnes Obel, In Hoodies, Dirt Dress, The
Hanging Stars and Elliot Brood.
This
episode is actually the first one I made using the Anchor FM podcast website
so we are evolving into a real radio platform for promoting great music across
the World…Hey, catch the wave every Sunday evening on Anchor FM, the new home
of “The Minstral Show” 😉 We are the Music Radio Revolution.
SET: 01
First
up on today’s showcase is a song called “In Dreams by “Third Whale” a band out
of Oslo Norway. The group comprises musicians, Eivind Skolt, Kent Rudolfsson,
Henning Gulbrandsen, Vegard Magnhildson, & Robert Nystrand Nielsen. Their music is very pluralistic, in that it’s progressive
rock, garage rock and psychedelic rock all at the same time. “In Dreams” jumps
out of the blocks with its high energy and dopamine hooks that will surely have
you boppin…great traveling song too if you’re on the road.
The second song of this set is by Black Country
Communion with “The Last song for My Resting Place”. The song is
taken from their smash 2017 album “BCC 4”. - Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Jason
Bonham and Derek Sherinian who make up “Black Country Communion” are seriously,
the hottest rock act on the planet today; a real bona fide super group that brings
rock into the 21st century…and with a bang.
Following
BCC is Melbourne Australia’s Rockin blues band “Southbound Snake Charmers” with
“Cut My Time” another stellar rockin blues tune which is taken from their
brilliant 2017 album “Rhythm and Rust”. Chris Denman, Brooke Maloney, and Nat
Sutphin make up this trio which is gaining much popularity across the internet
and for good reason.
SET: 02
Our second set of music brings Progressive rock group “Wobbler” together with the angelic tones of “Agnes Obel” and the soft alternative sounds of In Hoodies.
Wobbler
is a Norwegian Progressive Symphonic Rock band which formed in 1999 and is
comprised of musicians Lars Fredrik Frøislie, Kristian Karl Hultgren, Martin
Nordrum Kneppen, Andreas Wettergreen-Strømman-Prestmo, and Geir Marius-Bergom-Halleland.
Their
song “From Silence to Somewhere” is taken from their 4th album by the same name
and released in 2017. Without a doubt, the band takes the listener back to the Progressive
Rock days of the 70’s with the unmistakable influences of Gentle Giant,
Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Triumvirate, Yes, Genesis and others. This song is
brilliantly complex with several parts woven into this 20 minute rock opera
piece…it has so many feel good nostalgia moments that you’ll want to repeat the
song over and over. A big thumbs up for this old DJ.
Following
Wobbler is Danish born artist “Agnes Obel” with a wonderful piano composition
called “Philharmonics” taken from her 2010 album of the same name. Agnes Obel has
become a household name and rightly so as her angelic voice and beautiful piano
compositions greet her listeners with a gentle soothing ambiance that casts off
the madness of the world for a more relaxed setting. ….I find Agnes Obels music
also mixes very well with progressive rock….If I was to describe her music, simply
put, I’d have to say her music is medicine for the soul.
The
third song of the set is “Shed Tune” by Bursa Turkey’s own Murat Kılıkçıer who
performs under the name of “In Hoodies”. Shed Tune is alternative rock with
lush vocal harmonic hooks that’s really infectious…it’s what I call a singers
song.
Shed
tune is taken from his 2016 album “A Lunar Manoeuvre” which is an album filled
with pleasant surprizes…Hope you enjoy it as much as I.
SET: 03
Our last set of music on this
episode combines several infectious neauveau alternative pop waves…ie: songs to
that would have been huge hits in the 60’s, 70’ and 80’s when singing with
groups of friends was cool…
First up is Dirt Dress with their poetically
infectious 2014 hit “Revelations” taken from their EP of the same name. This
song is bound to be a cult classic…lots of artistic flair in this one which is
populous to say the least. The band is on hiatus at the moment pursuing solo
projects but there is no doubt in this DJ’s mind that this song is going to be
massive down the road.
Next up is “The Hanging Stars” featuring
“Miranda Lee Richards on vocals with “How I Got this Way” taken from their 2018
album “Songs for Somewhere Else”.
The Hanging Stars are Richard Olson,
Sam Ferman, Paulie Cobra, Patrick Ralla, and Joe Harvey-Whyte. The song is a
spacy country folk pop tune with infectious harmonies that urges the listener
to sing along with its upbeat matrix.
Closing the set is a Canadian three piece
alternative country band called Elliot Brood with their lively foot tapping
song “Dig a Little Hole” taken from their 2017 album “Ghost Gardens”. Elliot
Brood is Casey Laforet, Stephen Pitkin, and Mark Sasso.
“Dig a Little Hole” is a song that,
in its comical way, urges people to take their time and think before
acting…good advice with a tap happy way to do it.
…and
now let’s listen to some great music, on the Minstral Show…see you next Sunday.
Enjoy the Music!
