And also: Today is BANDCAMP FRIDAY! The perfect day to support independent artists and labels 💥

That’s a wrap! On these past few tour dates, John McKay’s Reactor tour has proven to be a force to reckon with! Powerful, tight and creative. They’ll have more to say next year - stay tuned! Photos by Rock And Roll Exposure, from their show at Craufurd Arms in Milton Keynes.

Tickets are already going fast. Come by and say hello!

Today marks the 5th anniversary of John Rossall’s ‘The Last Glam In Town’, heralded as an all-time great glam album, and a victory for leader John Rossall. But it’s a bittersweet moment. . . John passed away from illness almost exactly a year later, on October 5, 2021.

❤️

John McKay’s tour starts TODAY! Some tickets still available at the door or via www.seetickets.com/artist/john-...

It’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY! Today artists get the fees normally would be garnered by Bandcamp itself. It's a great way to help artists in these tough times . . . it's a lot of work, and we take no pay from any of it. We appreciate your support and aim to keep bringing you superb musical gems!

Happy release day! We doubt any record will be released in 2025 that betters Dead Famous People's "Wild Young Ways" for sheer charm, brilliant song craft and utter brilliance. deadfamouspeoplenz.bandcamp.com/album/wild-y...

Listen back to my 'In Conversation' with Deb Googe and Cara Tivey for @louderthanwar.bsky.social on Mixcloud Many thanks to John at @tinyglobalmusic.bsky.social www.mixcloud.com/louderthanwa...

‘The Quiet One’ is a single from Stuart Moxham’s upcoming album “Winter Sun”, and it’s now available on all streaming platforms . . . a beautiful, melancholic piece that is best enjoyed during some quiet time, a pastoral take on Young Marble Giant’s minimalist beauty.

‘Amber’ is one of the great tunes that we couldn’t fit on John McKay’s album ‘Sixes And Sevens’, so we included it in ‘Additions’, a bonus CD that originally came with the album and which is now available separately! thejohnmckay.bandcamp.com/album/additi...

On this weekends 'In Conversation' for @louderthanwar.bsky.social I'm joined by #debgooge and #carativey to discuss their recent album released by @tinyglobalmusic.bsky.social Sunday 1pm

" the best song of the entire weekend!"

Neither did we!

Jim has been photographing HOUSE Of ALL right from the start, and his history with The Fall dates back to the very beginning. We wanted to know so we asked! What a lovely chap, it was a pleasure talking to him. Watch here! m.youtube.com/watch?v=hZY4...

HOUSE Of ALL have done it again! A fourth album will soon come through.

“Before We Prayed” is the second captivating guitar-pop single from Stuart Moxham’s (of Young Marble Giants fame) upcoming album, Winter Sun… This track further suggests that the album could be a genuine classic.” Via @janglepophub.bsky.social janglepophub.home.blog/2025/08/12/n...

Dead Famous People's fantastic album-length collection of obscure and unheard material from the halcyon days of Flying Nun and Utility label glory - Wild Young Ways - is IN STOCK! Will start shipping early next week. deadfamouspeoplenz.bandcamp.com/album/wild-y...

Here it is! The return of Stuart Moxham (Young Marble Giants) after almost 30 years since his last brand new solo release! ‘Winter Sun’ is a spiritual heir to Young Marble Giants’ deeply insular Colossal Youth, combined with the sly experimentation of The Gist. moxham.bandcamp.com/album/winter...

Ticket sales have gone live for John McKay’s Reactor new dates! Don’t wait to get tickets, they’ll be gone soon. www.seetickets.com/tour/john-mc...

“Vampirella” is a great pick! 🧛‍♀️🖤

Last day to get one of these 10” bad boys for free if you order any physical release (CD or LP)! tinyglobalproductions.bandcamp.com

You said it best!

Want some Skull Jam?! We just rescued a box from storage and thought, why not give some away? It has many great tracks including a mash-up of The Fall's "Before The Moon Falls" and Blue Orchids' "Work". Order *any* LP or CD and we’ll include a copy! tinyglobalproductions.bandcamp.com/music

In London on Wednesday? Celebrate Gina Birch's second solo album at Rough Trade East! I've contributed to a few of the fab songs on the album (some vocal arrangements, co-writing, and singing) and I will be singing on a couple of songs on the night. Free tickets here: dice.fm/event/ry535y...

Grey Factor were unexpected purveyors of an experimental post-punk sound in 1979-1981 Los Angeles. Many thanks to Joey and Jeff for sitting down with us to discuss the history of the band, their influences, recording and plans for the future. youtu.be/Z0Yb-k2Op4g

Don’t miss the acoustic minimalist troubadour if he’s playing near you. August dates: 1st EDINBURGH Leith Depot 3rd THE CHILTERNS Together festival 9th PRESTON POPFEST 10th NEWCASTLE Cumberland Arms

Indeed! Dead Famous People is the best band most of you have never heard.

New track available! Dead Famous People's Vampirella takes a magnificently wistful melody and tells Vampirella's tale from the first-person. Listen twice, and if you aren't singing along, try breathing in a mirror to make sure you're still alive. deadfamouspeoplenz.bandcamp.com/track/vampir...
