Rumour has it that Paul McCartney- a man who had ridden on Concord, stayed at the world’s best hotels and tried every drug under the sun- once said “there’s nothing more glamorous to me than a record store”. When you think about it, it’s hard to disagree. With rows of history and memories laid out like an overflowing treasure chest, there is something inexplicably absorbing and enticing about record stores. Vinyls are not just “pretty discs of plastic that our parents played with” as Loyle Carner so eloquently describes records as, but remind us of people, places and events. 

We love discovering debut releases here at Our Sound Music, and none has captivated us more than the first release from Scottish singer-songwriter Brian Cattigan. 

This week host Adam Wright presents an interview with Harry from The Rotanas whose blinding new single 'Get The Call' is out now. Plus we have plays of our Single Of The Week, an exclusive play of the upcoming amazing new tune from The Shed Project plus further new music from Jody & The Jerms, Trouble Pilgrims and Jess Kemp. A great show as always, check it out ~!

One of the finest and underrated songwriters in the UK, Jess Kemp, has released her summer hit ‘Don’t You Cry’, a feelgood track if ever there was one. An established live performer, who is playing at our Indie All Dayer this September, Kemp has been dubbed by us here at Our Sound Music as the ‘female Ed Sheeran’ and for good reason. Her output so far has been nothing short of incredible, and this latest release, ‘Don’t You Cry’ adds to her impressive catalogue. With atmospheric tropical synth, this 80’s inspired track is full of Jess Kemp’s signature vocal delivery and from the very first listen, proven to be a catchy, summer-vibe heavy release. ‘Don’t You Cry’ is our Single Of The Week.
