Wife threw this at me and told me to stop being a depressive recluse and go do something creative. Last 18 months or so have been rather difficult mentally and a good kick up the arse was desperately needed. Now what do?😅

My latest single Halfway Home is also the brooding heart of my upcoming album We Live In Hope. Pre-oder the album from 1st May 2026 and listen to the single right now toto get a flavour of what's to come: lastdaysofrome2.bandcamp.com/track/halfwa...

Listened to Fur Trader's entire back catalogue again today. Can't recommend it highly enough. If you like well constructed, well recorded, well performed songs that is. Which you do. Of course you do. MELODIES, MAN. Oh, and he's on here @andrewpelletier.bsky.social

Yeah, that's the good stuff right there folks. I'm rationing it to once a day in hope that I don't get quite as obsessed as I did with 'This Tender Life' which was easily my album of 2025

What better place could you go to than space? What's a better holiday than that? youtu.be/taB9mFqDx9c?...

Got this sticker on Wednesday and I've been riding that high ever since

Had the pleasure of looking after this little fella. Everybody meet Mustang, he was the bestest boy.

Blue skies

Grey sky kinda day

Highly recommend this beautiful slice of hypnotic jangle pop from Neil @shopfiresmusic.bsky.social today

MISSING: Lesters mojo If found please return. In fact I dont even want it back, just put it to good use. Make some music, draw a picture, write a story, recite Shakespeare. Whatever floats your boat! MAKE ART

Wife has dyed her hair orange so now we look kinda look like this as a couple.

Fell asleep early on Friday and didn't spend a fortune on bandcamp. I'm sad about it. My bank is happy about it. #bandcampfriday

Fell in love at first listen!

Fellow Mancunian Mat has this gorgeous album up for grabs if you were wondering what to spend your pennies on for #bandcampfriday

Wrote a bit about Alexei Shishkin and his new single over at @filip.start-track.com Single: Alexei Shishkin – Ode to Carl Dennis – START TRACK share.google/htsn1L2CY8wU...

The drums on this album are a masterpiece all on their own🥁

About 70% of my wardrobe. Different day. Different shirt🙄

What a mess of an album. "Stinkin' Thinkin'" is one hell of an opener and then its just absolute chaos. Fun though! open.spotify.com/album/2Z1ZgU...

On repeat today is this amazing album from @jtsimons.bsky.social and Moon Orchids! Track 4 "Taciturn" needs to be played loud for the full effect of them lovely fuzzy tones moonorchids.bandcamp.com/album/moon-o...

Bought the wife an expensive present yesterday(expensive for us) just because. Now im three beers in and eyeing up guitars. Could be dangerous. Mostly looking at resonator guitars. Maybe one of them Gretsch Jim dandys but with the pickup. Probably just buy another beer then have a takeaway.

This guy just stands there.

About time really. lesteroshea.bandcamp.com/album/i-read...

Best place in Manchester

Today will be my last day working a weekend and a late shift. Taking a year off my usual job to go and help my partners business. Hoping to get some life back into my elbows and fingers, maybe even play guitar and make some music again.

It's been a while since there was new NEUCLOUDS track. But there maybe one imminent. For now here is the most popular NEUCLOUDS track on YouTube. youtu.be/6ApatoM9cfk?...

Disobey- Their Power Comes From Our Obedience. Taken at the Chila Kumari Singh Burman exhibition at the IWM in Salford.

Making this video was so much fun! Can you tell? youtu.be/JtRm2QUU7pc?...

musicfortherestofus.blog Hello all. Got the second batch of August posts up now. Featuring new from @gribbles.co.uk , @rnark.bsky.social , @voidscanmusic.com , @traiken.bsky.social , @aquinomusic.bsky.social , @lestermakesnoise.bsky.social , @vanessafunke.bsky.social , @mikebrunacini.bsky.social 🧵

What Neil has for breakfast. Everyday.

Just putting the feelers out there. How many Manchester based(or nearby) Musicians/bands do I know on here? Would anybody be willing to play an event in early January? This is a fundraiser so no payment but if I can get venue I hope it should be a great little day/night.

I'm working on a Sunday and making this my soundtrack

Went to see Weapons last night. Was left a little disappointed especially after the start seemed to be building the story so well, but it really fell flat in the middle and then just dragged on.

Intrigued to know about the sets or songs you’ve caught - by accident - where a band you’ve never heard of absolutely blows your mind. Your most memorable discoveries. It’s happened to me a few times.

Manchester UK! In just 10 weeks The Perennial Sound returns with our friends @sumos.band & Oort Clod — a @safesuburban.bsky.social shindig: tastesupremestore.bigcartel.com/product/pere...

Hi, so I released an album type thing lesteroshea.bandcamp.com/album/i-read...

If you'll trust what I know, I thiiiiink @catblackard.bsky.social has made the tape version of Steamed Hams (which can be gotten from @needlejuice.bsky.social) the best possible presentation of the album. Yes, my heart is still with vinyl, but I said what I said!

Coming soon… #indiepop #jangle #Manchester #NewOrdervibes #hazardperception

Turns out I can't afford to buy allllll the tapes and t shirts on bandcamp...gonna have a good go at it though. #bandcamp #bandcampfriday

Happy Bandcamp Friday! Still got a handful of tapes available for one of my best releases yet. 🙌 And don’t forget to check out all the other great music on @totallyrealrecs.bsky.social phoneswithchords.bandcamp.com/album/the-sp...

Two copies left if you feel like buying one today. ironichill.bandcamp.com/album/master...

Currently this one. I had an idea, I stuck to the idea and the idea worked. Vocals are actually semi decent, nice bit of guitar here and there. Sort of ambiguous lyrics, but mostly about trying to keep your light shining bright, and singing your song. lesteroshea.bandcamp.com/track/finree...

Here's some codes for my album if anybody wants one. 63e6-546b kd82-ba8x nqzd-xn3q lg2e-jelz eklg-yb5g gnpz-bxn3 yd9u-hqp4 2jtx-v8ba dgup-6247 ptw8-ylj5 j97e-6bm8 #bandcamp ##diymusic lesteroshea.bandcamp.com/yum

My take on Spotify open.substack.com/pub/starttra...

My 3rd album 'How Will I Know?' is it now. 12 DIY indie rock tunes about about life, death, hope, despair, videogames and the state of the world in 2025. Available on streaming, digital download and limited edition CD (Bandcamp). Thanks very much to all who listen! linktr.ee/lastdaysofro...

Thrilled to share the video for the new Goodbye Wudaokou song, Only Questions, directed by the very talented Jonathan Shipley @assistant.bandcamp.com filmed in Beijing (Wudaokou), Harbin and my bedroom! #musicsky #diysky #janglepop delighted if you’d check it out: youtu.be/Y1UXxGsFpnI?...

I'd like to say I painted this but its actually the easel from my wifes nursery. Thought it looked very cool.
