SnC 370 – Age of reason?
A pleasing variety of tracks on this week’s show … again reflecting the best of independent music from around the world in in this week’s show specifically from LA, Nova Scotia, Ontario, San Francisco, New York, Lyon, Edinburgh and Marseille. That Voice – Cosmic Suckerpunch (LA. CA. USA) The current single from their new…

SnC 369 – Ding Dong
A somewhat eclectic mix this week with fresh tracks from Lancashire, LA, Haifa, NYC, Seattle and Margate. We’ve got news of a really interesting little festival in upstate New York, a correction from Erk and a campaign to get a song to the top of the UK charts this week. Liberty Girl – Heifervescent…

SnC 368 – and a lot of it
A diverse selection of music this week and a lot of it. Tracks from Australia to Iceland and LA to France. There’s also some surprising news on the effect of piracy on legitimate music sales. Plastic Guns – Emperors (Perth, Western Australia) Emperors’ debut album Stay Frosty has arrived with a bang. Widespread Australian airplay, US iTunes Single…

SnC 367 – Sunny day
The sun came out today, just for a little while but it created a yearning for proper summer. This is probably reflected in this weeks all European, indeed all Jamendo mix. Just for a change I’ve included a couple of tracks from each of three artists, two of whom have brand new albums for us.…

SnC 366 – Festivities
As the snow again falls on Suffolk in the middle of Canadian Music Week, it’s only right that we should feature a light sprinkling of Canadian artists and take a brief look forward to a couple of massively contrasting warm weather festivals here in the UK this “summer”. When The Smoke Clears (single) –…

SnC 365 – Auto-respond?
With SXSW in full swing this week I’ve been thinking about setting up an auto-response for all the invitations to party, listen to live music, eat any number of food styles and generally hang out with what will, by this stage of the week be the increasingly strung out great and good of independent music.…

SnC 364 – SXSW calling
It must be spring – assorted pasty pale musicians are emerging from the long winter hibernation blinking into the sunlight and migrating south by south west for the first of the season’s music festivals which happens next week in Austin, Texas. This week we’ve a selection of tracks by artists who will be playing in…

SnC 363 – On the fiddle
We’ve a wealth of female fiddlers this week with tracks from Adia & The 7 Eyes and then a delicious take on a classic but totally surprising tune with which Amanda Shaw and The Cute Guys will be closing the show. Otherwise, the energy levels in the music are generally up this week. A quirky…

SnC 362 – Swimming
A generally reflective feel to the music this week – probably picking up on my mood as we prepare to admit defeat in surviving looking after my dear and elderly mother-in-law and maintaining 24 hour care. Time to hand over to the professionals. Sad. It does, however, even in this relatively short show, give the…

SnC 361 – Kiss Your Friend
A smattering of lurv songs close out this necessarily rather short edition on the eve of Valentine’s day. LA asserts itself as a music centre this week although Sunderland and Bromley well represented and we have a track from Venezuela too. Pett Level – Keston Cobblers Club (Bromley, UK) What a great night at…
-
SnC 360 – Twin Graces
Perhaps a bit of a trippy feel to some of the tracks this week including some valuable lessons in the joys of stereophonic recording from Public Service Broadcasting. The twin Graces are Grace Valhalla and Grace Woodroofe who are actually back to back. We’ve another track from a band I’ll be seeing on Saturday and…

SnC 359 – Seven year itch
So, it’s seven years this week since Suffolk’n’Cool was launched to a deafening roar of indifference back in 2006 with a mission to give support and encouragement to independent musicians all around the world and to deliver your blast of fresh musical air via the barn, here on the east coast of England. Coincidentally, SnC…
