#AlbumOfTheDay took time out yesterday, but it's back with a bang, with this cracker from #SimpleMinds. "New Gold Dream" was so influential and is probably my favourite Simple Minds album, love the band especially their early work. #PostPunk #SynthPop #ArenaRock #ArtRock

My new single, “Believe,” is finally ready to rock the world. You can stream or download it for free on Friday, October 24th, just like always, right from my website and will be available from all your favourite streaming platforms. #Believe #TheKindMachine #NewMusic #IndiePop

A big TKM shoutout to the Ghost of Rucker who reached out to me to arrange this Indiescoveries Interview, which I was thrilled to participate in, and had a great time answering such thoughtful and interesting questions. You can read the interview here www.ghostofrucker.com/post/indiesc...

Listening today to #LedZeppelin and the famous "Fourth" album. Grew up as a massive Zeppelin fan and they are one of the few bands where I think I know every note and every word of every song. So many great tracks on this album. #AlbumOfTheDay #HardRock #HeavyMetal

So yesterday I finished the final mix for my next release "I Want To Believe". Really excited I have managed to finish only my 2nd song and can't wait to share it with the world. Release date coming soon! #IWantToBelieve #NewMusic #IndiePop #ComingSoon #IndependentArtist

Listening today to #Yes and the album "Relayer". I have always been a bit of a #ProgRock fan. Although this band are giants within the genre, this is the only album that really grabbed me so to speak. #AlbumOfTheDay #ArtRock #PopRock

Listening today to #TubewayArmy and their self titled debut album from 1978. This was before #GaryNuman discovered synths and I love the raw and rather edgy feel this album. #AlbumOfTheDay #PostPunk #NewWave #70sMusic

Listening today to #U2 and the live album "Under a Blood Red Sky". Not usually a fan of live albums, but this one is a cracker, when U2 were an up and coming band, and not the global superstars they went onto be. Big fan of their earlier music, #AlbumOfTheDay #PostPunk #PopRock

There is a good chance that my music might get a spin on this awesome show today. Tune in at 7PM CEST to @belterradio.bsky.social to hear just great music from a multitude of talented people, hosted by the Darren The Project! #independentmusic #internetradio #internetradiostation

Listening today to #LinkinPark at the album "Meteora". Loved the first two albums from this band, although not a genre that I would normally listen to. Used to listen on my way to work, particularly when I wasn't looking forward to it 😂. #AlbumOfTheDay #NuMetal #RapRock

A massive shoutout to the one and only Mish at Mishappenings for reviewing my single "Hearts In Bloom". If you are not subscribed to his YouTube channel, head on over, like, subscribe, etc. You will be glad that you did! youtu.be/bpY2ZBI9s4s?... #MishIn52 #youtubevideo

Listening today to #Blondie and the album "Plastic Letters". It was the first album I ever purchased from the band, after hearing the song "Denis". An album of its time and takes me right back to 1977 and my teenage years! #AlbumOfTheDay #NewWave #PopPunk #70sMusic

Totally and utterly thrilled to be featured on this week's "Mish In 52" YouTube review, where the one and only Mish from Mishappenings takes my single"Hearts In Bloom" out for spin. Thank you Mish! youtu.be/bpY2ZBI9s4s?... #YouTubeMusic #Mishappenings #HeartsInBloom

Listening today to the post break up album "Now That's What I Call Quite Good" album from the brilliant #TheHousemartins. It's kind of a greatest hits album with so many great songs. One of the best bands from the #80s in my opinion. #AlbumOfTheDay #80sMusic #IndiePop

Listening today to "Hybrid Theory" from #LinkinPark. Of course I love synths, but my first instrument was the guitar, I like to think I can rock with the best of them. So many great tracks on this album. #AlbumOfTheDay #NuMetal #HardRock

Today I'm listening to the excellent "The Colour Of Spring" album from #TalkTalk. A great band who, in my view, don't often get the recognition they deserve. "I Don't Believe In You" and "Life's What You Make It" are two classic tracks! #80sMusic #AlbumOfTheDay #80s

I want to give a big old fashioned shout out to Tizz Shearer and XRPRadio for spinning my music last night on his TAGGEd with Tizz show. Tune in every Saturday at 9PM -11PM BST at www.xrpradio.co.uk #TheKindMachine #SynthPop #independentmusic #internetradio

Listening today to the debut album from #TheClash. My favourite album from this band, although they went on to record so much great music. They say that Punk died the day they signed to CBS! The whole Punk era takes my back to my youth. Happy days! #punkrock #AlbumOfTheDay

Listening today to the 4th album release from #PeterGabriel, one of my all time favourite artists. It features some of his less well known, but excellent tracks such as "Shock The Monkey" and "San Jacinto" #70sMusic #ProgressiveRock #AlbumOfTheDay

I’ve been creating some fresh music, and I’m just about to wrap up the final touches on my next single, “I Want to Believe.” It's an uplifting tune about hope and looking forward in spite of adversity. Release date coming soon. #IWantToBelieve #TheKindMachine #NewMusicOnTheWay

Listening today to #Kraftwerk and "Trans Europa Express". You might have guessed that his band have always been a massive influence on my music. This is a great album and well worth revisiting. #AlbumOfTheDay #electronicmusic #Electronic
