Pale Man Made – Cabales
Christanne is one of two girls who make up half of Newcastle fuzzed up popsters Pale Man Made.
Christanne’s email that popped into TOW’s inbox says: ‘we play music driven by discordant jangles, bittersweet lyrics, and, female and male vocals – inspired by the The Shop Assistants, Comet Gain, The Pastels, The Smiths and Sleater Kinney.’
Yup, the influences are worn on their collective sleeve, but there’s nothing wrong with that when this is the result!
They’ve just just finished recording an album with Steve Whitfield (Cure, Pylons, Trash Can Sinatras, Buen Chico, Shed 7) and are looking to find a label to put it out…
Bella Spinks – Words
Yes, Brighton artist Bella Spinks is 18. And yes, she’s already writing songs that some seasoned old muso’s could be proud of. Her Dad Patrick runs Sublime Music, and emailed TOW about Bella and on listening to this track we reckon Poppa Spinks has every right to be puffed up and proud about his young offspring. Bella has already supported some impressive artists including Ellie Goulding – watch this space!
