New Roots: Forthcoming Guests

On the show on Sunday 13th April…

What a show this Sunday promises to be! Not to be missed, with Raising Maisie, Cyrano, The Suburbians and Where’s Billy?

Raising Maisie, a pop revolution, with the intention to replace the homogenous, regurgitated norm to be found on today’s airwaves with strong melodies and layered harmonies that encapsulate the best of good old British Pop with a fresh face for the 21st Century.

With minimal fuss, Cyrano just get on with it as ‘Gathering the Dust” takes over and makes them sound heartbreakingly huge. Imagine Thirteen Senses writing with Embrace while Clearlake look on, crying into the…ir beer. When Joe Ackerley’s vocals aren’t doing the high wire act, he roars with a fractured anguished dignity, somewhere between Thom Yorke and Chris Martin, but there’s no girly piano in Cyrano’s set up. Their mood develops from chiming guitars that in the space of a few drawn out chords can make you drop to your knees and be thankful that the world is so goddamn beautiful; soaring, swooping melodies, teetering on the brink between joyful abandonment and despair, pour from their amps, crash and ebb around your brain and trickle down your spine like cold sweat.

The Suburbians are a British rock group led by two brothers Ben and Mark Konstantinovic, with Charlie Roberts on Bass and Ben Nyari on Drums. The band formed in November 2010.

Light the blue touch paper, and stand well back ladies and gents – this isn’t so much a show, more of a Concert Of Awesomeness….you have been warned.
