Where Fans Post About Their Favorite Performances, Shows & Matches in Great Britain
Fellow lovers of all things indie and alt-pop, I invite you to allocate the next spot in your playlist to a wonderful track that I have recently discovered. Of course – as if you had any doubt – the track I’m talking about is the delightfully playful ‘Sweet, Hot & Heavy,’ the most recent release from London-based singer-songwriter Delilah Isabella.
With the addition of Brazilian drummer, producer, and composer ÀIYÉ, ‘De nuevo Saudade’ is a gorgeous mosaic of alt-pop, folk, and Latin America’s proud heartbeat. Aglow with dreamy, ocean-deep textures and delicate yet debonair timbres, this track’s beauty won’t bow down to language barriers. So, with that in mind, let’s step into the tranquil soundscape that Juan de Vitrola and ÀIYÉ have gift-wrapped for us.
Zorin Morris, an up-and-coming musician with a partiality for retro charm, is one artist who knows a thing or two about creativity and eclecticism. It’s these qualities that make his first single of this year, ‘Only When,’ so appealing.
You know when you stumble upon an extremely talented musician on social media, and you find yourself rushing to Spotify, hoping that you can add their music to your playlist? Well, I’ve found an artist that inspired me to do just that. Of course, I’m talking about Italian vocalist/guitarist Freddy Even, and luck would have it that my search wasn’t in vain – his latest single, ‘All I Want,’ offered everything I was looking for.
Summery rock-powered soundscapes and nostalgic trips to the wildness and liberty of youth go together like good beers and sunlit beaches. Songs that combine the two never fail to evoke a bright blend of joy and rejuvenation, and it just so happens that I have a song just like that for you today! Meet ONE NATION, a seasoned quartet that has recently dropped their refreshing yet familiar new single, ‘Young, Wild and Free.’

Our friend Michael Nickel has been in touch with some information about a newly published issue of a German language magazine, which should be of interest to visitors to Brain Damage. The July/August 2023 issue of Drums & Percussion (What Moves Drummers) Magazine (issue 4 of 2023) (https://www.sticks.de/heftinhalt-artikeldetail?tx_news_pi1%5BactbackPid%5D=343&tx_news_pi1%5Baction%5D=detail&tx_news_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=News&tx_news_pi1%5Bnews%5D=13517&cHash=e12a9539a6bedafa8a852ee1c39116e9) has an eye catching cover featuring a very happy looking Nick Mason, in the midst of one of his Saucerful Of Secrets concerts. The cover story – “Time travel to the beginnings of Pink Floyd” – with Nick interviewed, is accompanied by a potted history of the band. On their website, they give an extract from the magazine feature: “With his new band Saucerful Of Secrets, the drummer who made music history with Pink Floyd is going way back in time. Here, Nick Mason tells us how this special time travel feels. However, the new band is not the only thing on the mind of the now 79-year-old… “This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the über-album The Dark Side of the Moon, and then there’s also a traveling exhibition about Pink Floyd called Their Mortal Remains – not to mention that Pink Floyd, by the way, has even released a new song after decades of abstinence in protest against the war in Ukraine. More than one topic for a conversation with a legend of our guild. “Nick, at the Roundhouse in London you played in 1966 and 2019 with at least partly the same songs. Where were the similarities and differences between then and now? Nick: “That was quite interesting. Of course there were similarities, but also differences: The main ones were on the technical side, because in 1966, for example, there was no stage, but an old trailer and a very small PA or very little electronics. So the whole thing was pretty quiet [laughs]. I mean, at the end of the evening the PA would have been completely destroyed. But musically it was pretty similar in parts, which I found very pleasant.” Our thanks to Michael for the information.
