Liner Notes

Hello everyone and welcome to episode #10 of Liner Notes. Thank you, as always, for listening and supporting the podcast. Very excited about releasing this weeks episode as it is the very first conversation I've had with my guest not being based in the UK, which means Liner Notes has gone international!

My guest on this episode is Garry Schyman. Garry is a film, TV and video game composer with over 20 years experience in the industry which means he knows it pretty much inside out and that really comes across in the chat that we had. I know now, after listening back, that he had to dumb it down a bit for me, as I have very little technical musical knowledge or ability. Suffice to say, I spent the whole 45 minutes making mental notes of things to look into after the chat. So thank you to Garry for both his time and his patience. I hope you'll enjoy listening to Garry as much as I did, I could have quite easily picked his brains for the whole day but I had to condense our conversation down as much as possible. I've tried my best to touch on lots of different topics so hopefully there is something here for everyone.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode #9 of Liner Notes. We're here, just one away from the big one-zero, nearly into double figures. Feels like it's taken a little while but I wanted to make sure all the other stuff was sorted as well, like being on iTunes! Also been in contact with some very exciting guests, a few people that you may not have heard of, but do amazing things behind the scenes to make stuff happen, and just generally live exciting lives, so stay tuned for those.

On to this week's episode now and it is my pleasure to say that I had the chance to sit down with Rich Melvin, who you may know if you're into new music like myself, as the man behind the Unheard Indie podcast, Soundcloud account and Twitter account, providing daily nuggets of indie music goodness and then he wraps it up with a little bow on his weekly podcast.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode #8, it's a pleasure to have you on board! If you're a new listener, then welcome to Liner Notes! In short, this is a podcast that features conversations with amazing new artists and I'll soon be branching out into having guests that work behind the scenes as well; such as people from record labels, composers and engineers etc.

 

This week's guest is Aiden Hatfield. Something of a jack of all trades, Aiden is a musician, business owner and mental health ambassador. He will be releasing the first single called 'This Is Never Ending' from his debut solo EP in January this year, with the full EP to follow in March. During the conversation, we talk about his songwriting process and how openly suffering with depression has influenced his lyrics. We also talk about his clothing brand, called In Music We Trust, and how that is designed to both raise awareness of and raise money for people that suffer from mental health issues; namely by donating 50% of the profits to the Mind Charity. Please note that this conversation was recorded in December 2018, any references to "next year" refer to this year (2019).

Hello everyone and welcome to episode #7 of Liner Notes. My name is James George, host of this podcast, and I thank you for pressing the play button and choosing to spending some time with us. If you are new to the podcast, then I'd recommend going back and listening to previous episodes after this one, I've had the pleasure of chatting to some amazing musicians so I'd thoroughly suggest checking those out!

 

Now, in this week's episode I had the pleasure of chatting to Joe Oaten who produces under the name Blueyute. Currently attending Falmouth University, Joe produces ambient R&B and released his first EP called Haven in October this year. Speaking to Joe, the topic of enjoying your craft and how important that is kept popping up. I think it rings so true, that for something to have both longevity and a consistent high quality, there has to be that foundation of enjoyment. Make sure you go ahead and follow, like and subscribe on all of the socials to keep up to date with his new tracks and upcoming gigs and stuff.

Alright everyone? How you doing on this fine morning, afternoon or evening, whenever you're listening back to this! Welcome to liner notes, my name is James George and this is my podcast, in which I have in depth conversations with some of the most exciting new and emerging artists.

 

This week's episode was an absolute delight to record and made me chuckle when listening back to it for the editing. It's with London based smart rock duo Dam_Fino. With both Koby and Ardie having recently moved to London from Australia, they really have sprung onto the city's scene, with a banging setlist and packed out live shows. Trust me when I say, these guys are going to be huge next year. They released their debut single Tall Tales in October this year and will soon be releasing more new music! The guys were super nice and had a lot of interesting stuff to talk about, so hopefully you enjoy the chat as much as I did.

Hello everyone and welcome to episode #5 of Liner Notes. If you are listening for the first time, then welcome, it is an absolute pleasure to have you on-board, and if you have listened before and are returning back, then it's good to see you again and I'm glad I've not done anything mental to scare you away!

 

My guests on this week's episode are KYANOS, a psychedelic and jazzy four-piece from Bury St. Edmunds. They released their latest single 'Lost In Blue' earlier this year, and are currently working on getting the EP that the single is from, out into the world for our listening enjoyment. The band is a product of various old school friends coming together to create something new and fresh, and I personally think they have succeeded. Scattered across various towns, cities and universities, they are making use of what precious time they have together to constantly create new songs and dream up new ideas for the band. Now, I don't want to spoil the conversation, but they have a lot of good stuff in the pipeline!

Welcome to episode #4 of Liner Notes, hosted by myself, James George. If this is your first time listening then I welcome you to the Liner Notes family, I would also recommend you pause here, and go ahead and check out the introductory episode. It just provides a bit of content about what the show is about, and what kind of conversations you can expect to hear. I'd also recommend that you go back and check out previous episodes after you've listened to this one.

 

This week's conversation is with Indie Funk Four piece Lobster Pot. They are unbelievably energetic and that 100% carries through to their music. Having released their EP called Chum earlier this year, they are currently writing new songs and getting to grips with doing all the band stuff that isn't necessarily playing the music. Initially conceived as a Paramore cover project, the band morphed into their now funky sound after discovering a shared love of said funk music. With all of them still in musical education, they still have all the time in the world, to take over the world.

Hello, and welcome to episode #3 of the Liner Notes podcast, with me, your host, James George and what a pleasure it is to be hosting. This week's episode is an absolute corker, I've got London based band FLOAT on with me to chat about their new single, called Mother, share some stories of the band and to generally have a good time chatting about music. You can hear in the background the band cracking open a few cans, living the rock and roll lifestyle, or it could have just been some apple tango, I'm not convinced though.

 

The guys are extremely passionate about the music they make and that really comes across in conversation, there's a lot of potential within the band so these guys are definitely ones that should be on your radar if they aren't already. Now we're going to get into the conversation, brace yourselves, it's going to be a good one.

Hello, and welcome to episode #2 of Liner Notes, my name is James George and I shall be your host. My guests on this episode, as you will have seen from the title, are Pattern Pusher. Self described odd pop trio, the guys are based in Exeter and produce wonderfully indefinable music. They've been on a real journey as a band in order to find their sound and, with their latest single called Shakey, they say that they are finally able to put down in music what has been in their heads the whole time. Lead singer Alex was unfortunately unable to make to conversation but getting to chat to Ben C and Ben G was an absolute delight.

Hello and welcome to episode #1 of Liner Notes. Thank you all for pressing that play button, I'm sure you won't regret it. If you haven't listened to the introductory episode then I would recommend you pause this and go back and listen to that, it's less than five minutes long and will hopefully provide a bit of context about what the show is and what you can expect in the future.

My guests on this episode are The Bright Black, a Manchester based four piece indie soul band. They have released two singles this year, Midnight and Two, Two One, with a third due very soon. They are also, at time of recording, due to hit the road on their very own UK headline tour playing to fans that have paid specifically to see them, which as you'll hear in the conversation, they are very grateful for indeed. Having done their time in the trenches, playing gigs in obscure locations to obscure people, they are now being recognised as serious contenders, after playing support slots for house hold names such as The Fratellis and Razorlight. I think it's clear from the conversation that they have a genuine love of making music and I think whenever you talk to a person or people with a passion about something, then you can't help but be drawn into it. I hope you enjoy the chat as much as I did, thank you to the guys for taking the time to get involved. Make sure to check out the Bright Black here:
