In the never ending search for the latest talent on 6 -7 or 8 strings!

From Music Radar –
  • Jack McEwan (Psychedelic Porn Crumpets) Took the the top spot in a 2019 Poll From the land down under and mixes rhythm with lead, and that is always a good sound.
  • Chris Turpin (Ida Mae) With background in Indie-Blues from Kill It Kid, his latest sound is very unique, and his new wife Stephanie Jean (also of KIK) re-invents his sound to induce spark in the sonic ear fire.
  • Jack Edwards, Luke Allat (Piston) Piston brings that gritty Midland sound. Music Radar speaks of the big-bodied Gretsch tones, but also playing a tricked up Les Paul gets the tone. Great Vocals as well.
  • Aled Clifford (Henry’s Funeral Shoe) Great bluesy with my guess active single coils on a strat, he plays slide with a ageless reckless abandonment. Good sound and worth a listen on youtube.
  • Danny Beardsley His country-rock solo work “Blood from a Stone” is a good mix of many things. He also does not fail to express some decent leads, The Parallax Method man is worth a listen
  • Sam Fender As Music Radar put it “Springsteen-esque six-string storytelling” From my ear, I’d say that was accurate. You will hear great guitar sounds in the song Hypersonic Missles
  • Jørn Kaarstad (Bokassa) Apparently he’s had a great year. the riffs are full of power and the punch is metal and strong punk grit. There is a blend of instruments you don’t normally hear in this genre.
  • Jamie Glass and James Simpson (Indoor Pets) Their debut is packed with power-pop and a crazy video to match that power. The guitars are played to high paced power chords and speed.
  • Dennis Estensen and Tarjei Kristoffersen (Oberst) Hypnotic riffs to say the least. There is no room for anything but a mix of melancholic power and vocals that penetrate un-appologentically.
  • Geordie Greep and Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin (Black Midi) Here we have new and innovative sounds that will have you spellbound with the mix of sound, rhythms and synths added to the guitar work.
