Locnville - Sun In My Pocket (Official Audio Video)
updated
“The entirety of our life is a series of moments...” - Karen Zoid
Every track on Karen Zoid’s 'Op Die Oomblik (Deel Een)' adheres to robust songwriting principles with tone switches between classic rock arrangements, powerful ballads and emotive compositions.
Video Production: Brainwave Productions

South African youth culture icon Karen Zoid (Karen Louise Greeff) was born in Brussels, her father a diplomat to South Africa. Her early years were split between Belgium and Johannesburg where her father was posted. To develop her skills as a writer and performer, Zoid began working as a street artist in her teen years. Signed to EMI in 2001, she began work on her debut record Poles Apart, which would be released a year later in 2002. The record was showered with accolades, including two Geraas Awards (Best Newcomer, Best Rock Album) and SAMA (South African Music Association) Rock Album of the Year, among others. Both national and international press praised Zoid to the heavens, naming her 'One of South Africa's Top 100 people' and in another publication 'One of South Africa's Top 6 Rising Stars.' The release of her 2003 sophomore project Chasing the Sun was met with more widespread recognition than its predecessor as more press and fans got on the Zoid bandwagon. Both her first two records achieved gold status, building up enough international demand that Zoid began touring both on and off her native soil. 2004 found Zoid performing all over Europe and newly married to her guitarist/collaborator Don Reinecke. Her Time magazine appearance that year marked her as a media figure of such weight that national press began referring to South African youth as the 'Zoid Generation.' Her third record Media was released in 2005. With three successful records on the market, Zoid began playing major festivals, sharing the stage with artists like John Mayer, Metallica and Seal, announcing her arrival as an artist loved not only by her countrymen, but by rock fans worldwide. ~ Evan C.

PRE ORDER / PRE ADD ALBUM: orcd.co/withinthemarginoferror
'Beautifully Broken' is the lead single taken from Parable Fifteens forthcoming album 'Within The Margin Of Error' (out 13 January 2023).
“The song Beautifully Broken is written from an extremely personal place. My story reflects a lot of challenges (not uncommon for most) but these things always led me to hide who I was. I sat down to write the song with the intention of releasing my frustrations but it evolved and I realized that I should see myself as a work in progress (broken into beautiful pieces). This is our most vulnerable song to date…” - Marc Skarda (Parable Fifteen)
Often touted as one of South Africa’s hardest working groups Durban based band Parable Fifteen is best described as “Country Rock” or “New Country” with an anthemic edge; their agenda best described as uplifting. 2020 saw the band sign with leading Indie Label, Just Music and release their third full-length album, Bioluminescence seeing four of the albums singles chart on South African radio; “Telling Your Heart (Remix)” at No.1 on the SA Top 40, “You and Me” at No. 3 on the SA top 40 charts, “Firefly” at No. 5 on the SA Top 40, and “Tattoos” at No. 6 on the SA Top 40 Chart.

80's tinged goth saturated rock and roll!
Holding a deep admiration for B-Grade horror and gothic imagery Ruff Majik frontman and chief songwriter, Johni Holiday splatters latest single “She’s Still A Goth” with 80's tinged goth saturated rock and roll (and a pinch of synth-wave). Biting down on a dirty riff and even filthier backbeat “She’s Still A Goth” includes a doom infused breakdown and highly flammable swagger throughout.
"It's just a love song. Nothing more, nothing less. Packaged neatly in a ghoulish package…” Johni Holiday (Ruff Majik)

Picturesque folk pop.
A local Cape town artist and band built around a set of individuals who together, bring earthy and reflective lyrics to life. All fuelled by dynamic harmonies, catchy choruses and beats that in turn are all set on that honest acoustic feel and folky style of playing. When David Curry performs on his own, he is generally seen on his much-loved acoustic guitar. He delivers a warm and honest singer-songwriter feel, all the while, slowly submerging you in a tale of joy, wonder and journey!
On debut single ‘Early Morning’ Curry comments “Think sunrise, waves and the open road, that’s where this song was born. The verses speak for themselves mostly, explaining that it’s those fleeting moments, landscapes and memories that make us feel alive. I wanted to capture those exact things in this song, so I can always remember them and hopefully share the feelings it gave me”.

Infectious post-breakup pop.
“On My Mind” which is a fun, lively track best describing that post-breakup stage of a relationship where feelings still remain. Despite trying to convince one’s self otherwise, the ex-lover still remains persistently on the mind, causing feelings of withdrawal and longing. Told through shimmery guitars and catchy pop-esque vocals “On My Mind” is the perfect summer anthem to end off another successful year…” - Nic Jeffrey
Since moving to Cape Town in 2018, Nic Jeffrey has grown considerably as a musician. Originally from Johannesburg, the multi-instrumentalist spent his first few years as singer and guitarist for popular Cape Town band, PHLO. From 2018 to 2020, Nic spent time writing songs for PHLO but headed solo in 2021. Since then Nic has accrued 2 x Top 10 singles on National South African pop / youth station (‘5FM’) and over 800K global streams.

LYRICS:
I will be young
I will wait for the sun
I'll stay awake in the night until late
and to lions and strays
I will be Hemingway
I will be fine
cause I'll have the time
To stay awake all the nights until late
Until you come home
And carve your name into stone
Because the world has gone crazy
It's falling around us
And if you were here
I think you'd enjoy this
I am calling you out
By all your names
I will be dead
By the time you're in bed
Well then you're stuck
And I'm shit out of luck
I'll bring the broom
And clean the dirt out your room
I'll sweep the lake
Find the bodies awake
O well so long
I'll see you when I'm done
and to lions and strays
I will be Hemingway
Because the world has gone crazy
It's falling around us
And if you were here
I think you'd enjoy this
I am calling you out
By all your names
I know the time is running out
And there's no place for the homeless
I'm not afraid of wine
I'm afraid that you're hopeless
I am calling you out
by all your names
Love is blood and bold and choking on the seasons
Love is blind to the slaughter that you bring
Love is electric, shocking, coursing through your veins
Love does not notice, love has left you in her wake
Oh love has left you in her wake
I am calling you out
by all your names
I know the time is running out
And there's no place for the homeless
I'm not afraid of wine
I'm afraid that you're hopeless
I am calling you out by all your names
I am calling you out by all your names
I am calling you out by all your names

“Bad thoughts played out loud…”
On Sinner’s Ball BLVD HVNNY spirals into exquisitely sculpted darkness, embracing the deepest self, exploring the shadows, and the freaks and fusing classic goth flavours with trip hop and electronic sounds that haunt long after play out.
“Sinner's Ball is the song I would hate my mother to hear. Kind of like a surf goth anthem for the accused and condemned. Bad thoughts played out loud..” - BLVD HVNNY
The darker side of Cito, lead singer of WONDERboom, El Cantante and Absinthè, has finally manifested into the electro-goth-rock outfit, BLVD HVNNY. Initially, this project was studio-based, with programmed beats and synthesizers, and completely solo. Unsatisfied with the limitations that a “solo” project brings, especially in the live arena, Cito was determined to assemble a band under this title. BLVD HVNNY’s rendition of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds’ The Weeping Song, feat. Ross Learmonth (Prime Circle) won “Song of the Year” on Mix 93.8 FM’s SA Top 40, after enjoying 5 straight weeks at #1 .The music video for Joaquín has won Best Music Video awards at 5 international Film Festivals.
LYRICS:
Sticks and stones could break our bones
In fact, they probably will
I could get wiped out by an act of God
What an inconceivable thrill
Lest we forget them man-made disasters by the bastards on the hill
None will compare to the pain we bear for our inconsolable guilt
We're having a party for the heartache and the loss
We're having a soiree for the sorrow that we cause
It's a celebration, a damnation of souls
We're having a party, a party, at the Sinner's Ball
Cast your stones right this way
I'll try to catch them with one hand
And if they drop before I do
Do I get another chance?
I seem to like pain more than anyone
I guess you'll never understand
I can hear the music calling me
Can I have this dance?
We're having a party for the heartache and the loss
We're having a soiree for the sorrow that we cause
It's a celebration, abomination of souls
We're having a party, a party, at the Sinner's Ball

Blues rock rebel, Basson Laubscher & The Violent Free Peace drops rock banger Bonnie & Clyde.
Capturing the chaos, thrill & freedom of a couple on the run “Bonnie & Clyde” is packed with hypotonic guitar boogie, driving bass lines, and stadium sized drums.
“Bonnie & Clyde” paints a lyrical landscape of star crossed lovers ready and primed to go down in infamy. With a building bridge filled with sirens that will properly get you in the mood for a showdown, the climax explodes with a ripping guitar solo that makes you feel like the car fully flies off the cliff to the delight of any rock n' roll disciple. The video perfectly captures the grit and suspense of true crime (while not trying to take itself too seriously). Over the top fun and grandeur!

You got a Bella Lugosi shirt
You don't mind a little dirt
You're like nightshade in bloom
I bet you love Nosferatu
You dance under the moon
Doing pirouettes
At least I'm told you used to
I'll take you out for a drive
Make you pray to the night
Show you all the neon lights
I'll take you home
I'll treat you right
Your favourite poet is Edgar Allan
You drink red wine by the gallon
You know the steps to the twist of Cain
You do the Judas boogie and you make it rain
You smoke cheap cigarettes
You do those pirouettes
At least I'm told you used to
I'll take you out for a drive
Make you pray to the night
Show you all the neon lights
I'll take you home
I'll treat you right

“Don’t wait up is an upbeat, easy listening, alt-pop anthem which covers the topic of the emotional and uncertain times when it comes to relationships and love. Essentially a love song, the chorus speaks to those moments of longing, letting go and making amends while the featured artist, VITO, adds his unique and dynamic style to the song to tie it all together..” - ALAINITE

LYRICS:
And I’ve been clouding my head
All of the time I spend alone in my bedroom
Just thinking of you, I’m torn
Cos baby I’d don’t wanna waste my time
Another night and I’m back in my mind
So won’t you say it this time
Yeah I don’t really wanna play it this time
Yeah don’t wait up for me
Baby I’m so tired I could really use a little more company
Yeah maybe you could spend the night or three
Yeah you know I
I don’t wanna waste no time
Any maybe we could try
Doing it right this time
Yeah I can’t get out my head
Most of the time I sit here thinking about you
And all of the times that we shared
Cos baby I’d don’t wanna waste my time
Another night and i’m back in my mind
So won’t you say it this time
Yeah I don’t really wanna play it this time
Yeah I’ve been searching
Been searching for you
Yeah I’ll keep searching
I’m searching for you
She said don’t wait up for me
Baby I’m so tired I could really use a little more company
Yeah maybe you could spend the night or three
Yeah you know I
I don’t wanna waste no time
Any maybe we could try
Doing it right this time
All I do is waste your time
I’m a fuck up baby, pills done changed me
When I lost your love and you found someone I couldn’t move on safely
Now that part of my heart will never be yours
Well I’m sorry that’s hard swallowing swords
I’m too sick to function and you were my cure
I felt so alive but I’m not anymore
So I’ll keep searching
And searching for you
Keep searching
And searching for you
She said don’t wait up for me
Baby I’m so tired I could really use a little more company
Yeah maybe you could spend the night or three
Yeah you know I
I don’t wanna waste no time
Any maybe we could try
Doing it right this time

High speed rock and roll from South Africas finest musical export.
‘Get The Picture’ is the latest single taken from iconic South African rock band Springbok Nude Girls 2022 SAMA Winning rock album (“Partypocalypse”).
This has definite punk influences and is one of my favourite tracks from our SAMA winning (!) album “Partypocalypse”. I heard this chorus in my head and worked backwards from there. Theo fleshed it out, and Francois brought the speed! As a band, and as a writer we need keep it exciting, colourful and as interesting as possible…try and try again, fail and fail again until the relentless hunger for magic grants you a break through. The narrative of “Get The Picture” lies in the opening lines “Pound for pound, I'm the bastard you never met..” It’s the story of a guy, very rough around the edges but quite the charmer hitting on woman way out of his league…” - Arno Carstens (Springbok Nude Girls)

Cuts is inspired by real events, and one that is directly related to songwriter Stanley Sibande.
Composed during the recent global lockdown Sibande took the time to sit and reflect on his mental health challenges, continued relapses and self-harm experiences.
“It was really important to me to make this video and to provide a visual aspect to the story around Cuts. The video paints a more holistic picture of my experience and raises the growing conversation around mental health and the importance of getting help when you recognise that you need it. The video for Cuts may not be the easiest thing to sit through and I completely understand that it might not go over well with some people but if we’re going to have these conversations and be completely open and honest about what we’re struggling with, whether its present or past, we can’t filter or sugar coat our individual stories for the sake of palatability…” - Stanley Sibande
“I wrote the song during the strict lockdowns of 2020 when I had the chance to really sit with myself and reflect on every experience and decision that had led me to the point I was at in 2020 and this experience is one of the biggest, because it was what pushed me to make the decision to leave Zambia after I realized that if I didn’t get up and leave, it was going to happen again and I wasn’t sure if I was going to survive it the second time around...” - Stanley Sibande

LYRICS
It’s been a long time since we stopped,
Ages pass by and still we drive,
Looking back when, I couldn’t breathe,
You pulled me up when, the cuts went deep,
Slice me open, I’m drowning out,
I felt so weak when, I couldn’t fight,
Slowly open and pierce my skin,
Free the hate and shed the guilt
I’m bleeding out, falling under,
I’m drifting out, far away,
I’m bleeding out, falling under,
I’m drifting out, far away,
Slowly dripping and trickling down,
I feel lighter and I’m alive,
And don’t be sad boy, no don’t you cry,
Just slowly mend that, that broken heart,
I’m bleeding out, falling under,
I’m drifting out, far away,
I’m bleeding out, falling under,
I’m drifting out, far away,
Ooh Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

I Don't Want Your Drugs charges menacing psych rock with bitter ferocity.
“This song is about drugs. The dirty kind, including toxic relationships. The highs and the lows and all the in-betweens. The blank stares at paint-chipped walls, the empty words spilling over wine, and the ego-fuelled trip into Wonderland that you get spat out of and eventually end up with nothing to show but emptiness. And we don’t want them. No more lies, no more delusions, and no more blood. Don’t need those dirty old drugs to drive, now do you? Leave 'em be…” - Andrew Middelkoop (We Kill Cowboys)

LYRICS:
When you wake up
Will you feel the same
Staring blankly
At the drying paint
All my plates are full with Franky’s white
So much talking
Empty words of wine
Your empty words of wine
I don’t want your drugs
I don’t want your drugs
Ego screaming
Just take the line
They say the road to heaven
Is paved with lies
With all your lies
I don’t want your drugs
I don’t want your drugs
Wasted my time
Deluded myself for what
Nose bleeds and make believe I’m doing fine
Ego screaming
Just take the line
I don’t want your drugs
I don’t want your drugs
I don’t want your drugs
I don’t want your drugs
WE KILL COWBOYS
We Kill Cowboys is a 4 piece psychedelic cow-punk band from Cape Town, South Africa. Brainchild of tattoo artist and singer-songwriter, Alex Muller, the initial roots for the project were born out of the pandemic and accompanying lockdowns which allowed Muller the time to rediscover her musical roots and assemble a collection of songs for her debut EP ("Let it Burn"). A record deal with STFD and Just Music swiftly followed and with lockdown restrictions eased, thoughts soon turned to turning the EP into a live prospect. While the EP reflected the melancholic emotions of the lockdown experience, a gut feeling compelled Muller to seek out a larger, more electric sound.
Approaches were made to good friends from years gone by in the scene and soon enough, the group gathered in the live room at the label office to spin some shapes. Things exploded from there with the band drawing on their varied influences, spanning Metal, Punk, Rock n Roll, Country, Western Classical, Indian Raga, Folk, Blues and a host of other genres besides. Lyrically, Alex delivers a raw, uncompromising and anti-establishment polemic, drawing directly from her lived experiences in the music scene and the world at large. We Kill Cowboys is raw energy. We Kill Cowboys is having a good time. We Kill Cowboys is about flipping the bird to conformity while sipping on some ice-cold Lemonade.

“Soulful, dynamic pop…”
Love Inside My Mind is the latest from South African pop artist Tim Young.
Possessing a soulful, dynamic range Young’s latest is an uplifting declaration of freedom. Tim Young delivers with punchy prowess in his latest single “Love Inside My Mind”: a soulful electro-pop tribute to freedom in love. He’s found his footing within his chosen genre and the result is an impressively slick combo of modern pop and electronic textures which temper the delicacy of the track with infectious energy. “I felt doomed having to watch others in genuine relationships wishing that I had this real experience too,” explains Young of the inspiration behind the track. And it hits on the nose, as he waxes lyrical on the realities of navigating coming out and finding ways to genuinely cultivate relationships. - Skye Mallac / Texx and The City (Oct 2022).

“This kind of magic on a record should be revelled in...” Texx And The City

"Springbok Nude Girls find each other again!" Cape Argus
"Passionate, adrenalin-injected modern rock alchemy..." tinnitist.com
“Partypocalypse” is a finely crafted album with cutting edge production" Vinyl Junkie
Twenty-six years after their first show, and two decades after the release of “Blue Eyes” the song that redirected the trajectory of the band. With 11 albums, two live recordings, an EP, two DVD releases, and a UK-exclusive release in their coveted arsenal, SNG’s creative curiosity is showing no signs of abating. If anything, their greatest work lies ahead, and with it a growing wall of fans invested in passionate, adrenalin-injected modern rock alchemy.
As one of South Africa’s most decorated and applauded bands of the last three decades, Springbok Nude Girls’ work ethic has never-ever wavered. Partypocalypse is the last studio release that will feature the original line-up. Through a series of serendipitous events in the early ’90s in the small wine-making town of Stellenbosch, Arno Carstens, Theo Crous, Adriaan Brand, Arno Blumer, and Francois Kruger became the Springbok Nude Girls (SNG). Little did they know that they would go on to become one of the most loved rock bands South Africa has ever seen, known for their high energy stage shows and unique musical sound which combines Rock, Punk, Reggae, Metal, Funk, and Jazz.
They played their first gig in September 1994 in a small bar in Stellenbosch and released their first album, “Neanderthal 1” the following year. Since then, this platinum-selling, award-winning band has gone on to record albums that contain some of the countries most beloved anthems. They have headlined every major South African music festival and performed at some of the most auspicious international festivals in Europe, including Pukkelpop in Belgium. In 2015, Thinking Owl Films, in association with Sony Music Entertainment Africa, released an exciting documentary film which tells the story of the band’s early beginnings, touching on the crippling censorship of that time, and then the liberation of 1994 and how, for these kids, there was finally freedom in music.

Authentic and fierce ‘Healing’ is quick to reveal Frasers impeccable talent.
Healing is the debut single from South African artist Aidan Fraser. Authentic and fierce, ‘Healing’ is quick to reveal Frasers impeccable talent and high level songwriting. Initially written by Fraser as a lo-fi demo the song rapidly evolved into a potent pop song via a steady writing and recording process with producers Kelvin Alston (Jack Atlantic), Dale Schnetler (Prime Circle) and Matthew Fink (Anna Wolf). At surface level ‘Healing’ ameliorates in pop amplitude but underneath it all we find a lucent, authentic artist with ample range and a luminous future.
On the writing process Aidan comments “I wrote ‘Healing’ as a note first, before the music, a pseudo diary entry...you could say it was a letter of sorts, a message to those that I was no longer connected to. I turned that letter into Healing”. Further commenting on the tracks message Fraser adds “The narrative of Healing is that it's okay to be alone sometimes in order to become a better version of yourself. Sometimes you need to be alone, you need to sit with your thoughts, and process your headspace.”

"Sometimes chords all sound the same. They can for many years and then one day, you play the same chord or riff, maybe it’s a different guitar, setting, amp or mood, but it sounds different and sparks creativity. During a sound check in about 2018, Galen started playing a very arb, lazy, muted, two chord riff. Galen just said “I’m having a bad day” over the riff. He’s not sure why. But it stuck. So, there was a verse. Of sorts. But all we really had lyrics wise was “I’m having a bad day” - West Coast Wolves
The grand theme of Animal Farm has to do with the capacity for ordinary individuals to continue to believe in a revolution that has been utterly betrayed. Orwell attempts to reveal how those in power—Napoleon and his fellow pigs—pervert the democratic promise of the revolution.The emotional force of the novel comes from those ordinary animals who unthinkingly give themselves in good faith to working for the very system by which they are ruthlessly exploited (gale.com/open-access/animal-farm)
"We expect you to stand on guard not only against direct assault on the principles of the Constitution, but against insidious corrosion" - Nelson Mandela, 1995
ABOUT:
The West Coast Wolves are a 5-piece ensemble boasting a heady compound of rock and roll, alt folk, dark country and surf rock. With strong connections to the ocean & Kreef gods of Southern Africa’s diabolical west coast the wolves draw their inspiration from the Weskus, fireside jam sessions, banjos, chilled quarts, and the icy surf. Excited as they were with their emerging following, the Wolves never anticipated the ground swell they found after the release of their debut EP “Hold The Wheel” (followed by fan favourite singles "The City'' and ''Uncle Tin''). Forced into lockdown as a result of the global pandemic the Wolves regrouped to focus on wood shopping and recording new material for their eagerly awaited debut album.

The Black Cat Bones make a startling return with the release of "Book Of Miriam".
South Africa’s hardest working blues-rock jamboree, The Black Cat Bones make a startling return with the release of "Book Of Miriam". The album is a significant, fresh take on the bands production and songwriting efforts in association with Just Music and producer Mathew Fink at Atomic Studios.
“We’ve still retained much of the core Bones blues-roots sound, but this time around we’ve opened ourselves up to an array of ideas we’ve never had the confidence to pursue before. This is by far the most honest album we’ve done to date. The ‘book’ of Miriam can be viewed as a form of life manual written by a mother, instructing her children to respect and hold dear all women. The lyrical content does not always refer directly to this but a very clear vein runs throughout the album which teaches us about the potential pitfalls in life, just like a mother would. The outstretched open palms on the album cover depict the giving nature of a mother or woman and we wanted to embrace this strong and significant symbolism that it represents. The production includes the voices from the Amakhosi Amahle Choir, which added a very distinct local isicathamiya twist to the chorus, ultimately bringing it back full circle to the roots of all music, Africa" - Andre Kriel (The Black Cat Bones)
"Book Of Miriam rarely falls below below upbeat. Finger snapping good." - Classic Rock
"A sophisticated blues-rock continuum. A lot of sax, and a lot of soul." - Texx and The City
"Just what the doctor ordered. I’ve been transported back to the 1970s." - Running Wolf's Rant
Founded in 2007, The Black Cat Bones is arguably South Africa’s top rock band and it comprises Andre Kriel, Kobus de Kock, Gareth Bunge and Casey Rothman. With a back catalogue of four previous self-released albums since 2009, including the SAMA Award ‘’Best Rock Album’’ winner ‘’Beatpiller’’ (2013), the band has continued to evolve both as songwriters and in the studio.
LYRICS
Dearly beloved we are gathered here today
To make hunt on a fox who's run away
A disciple lead astray
How did it become this way?
Dearly beloved it is very hard to say
In the wake of all the things I've seen today
On the continent
The ins and outs of life
Just before you go
You feel that something's wrong
I think I might have lost this one
Oh my Lord what have I done?
Just before you go
You feel that something's wrong
I think I might have lost this one
Oh my Lord what have I done?
Dearly beloved, wide-eyed volunteers
Awkward ancestors, harbored mutineers
You have a long way to go
And there's the evil that men do
Dearly beloved, those caught in the vine
Your birthmarks are fading slowly over time
And like children
We've completely lost our way
Just before you go
You feel that something's wrong
I think I might have lost this one
Oh my Lord what have I done?
Just before you go
You feel that something's wrong
I think I might have lost this one
Oh my Lord what have I done?
Just before you go
You feel that something's wrong
I think I might have lost this one
Oh my Lord what have I done?
Just before you go
You feel that something's wrong
I think I might have lost this one
Oh my Lord what have I done?

As one of the first songs he ever wrote when he was 14 years old, ‘The End of Time’ holds a special place in Nic’s songwriting career. Fast forward over 7 years later, and the song has now been developed into a Coldplay-inspired, acoustic-pop anthem. Written about fighting for someone no matter the cost, the song steadily builds through melodic verses and captivating choruses, progressing from a soft, acoustic guitar opening to a wonderfully explosive final crescendo. Nic’s listeners are sure to fall in love with ‘The End of Time’ and its relatable lyrics, dreamy vocals and catchy pop hooks.
Since moving to Cape Town in 2018, Nic Jeffrey has grown considerably as a musician. Originally from Johannesburg, the multi-instrumentalist spent his first few years here in Cape Town as singer and guitarist for the band, PHLO. From 2018 to 2020, Nic spent time writing songs for PHLO, performing in some of the biggest venues across Cape Town and Stellenbosch, and experiencing various successes in the music industry - like radio play and hundreds of thousands of streams - all leading to Nic developing an even greater passion for music.
It's this passion that ultimately led to Nic venturing out as a solo musician, with his 1st ever single being released earlier this year in April. Within two months of this release, Nic has gone on to garner quite a following already, with over 16k streams across the various digital platforms, as well as radio play on some of SA’s prominent radio stations. Overall, the future looks exciting for Nic, with his dreams and ambitions set at greater heights than ever before.
Co-produced by Jon Shaban and Nic himself, the track was recorded and mixed at STFD Studio and mastered by Tim Lengfeld.

‘Everything I Want’ contrasts the highs and lows between lovers in situations of sobriety and intoxication. But, while alcohol may be the device used to signify the two different states, the song deals with more than just the effect of intoxication on love - it signifies the difficulties of loving someone who is unsure of their reciprocal love for you back. As has become custom, Nic explores this concept in a light-hearted manner, contrasting poignant lyrics against energetic instrumentation.

Ramdaz follow recent radio hit 'Won’t You' with electro-pop jam 'After Midnight'.
After Midnight is the hotly anticipated follow up to Ramdaz' recent smash ‘Won’t You’. Brother’s Vikshay and Vishekh's transport listeners through a ‘musical time machine’ building on their nu-disco / funk roots with modern inspiration from Alternative-Pop heavyweights Glass Animals & Imagine Dragons. After Midnight explores a funk / electro-pop aesthetic that documents the timeline of heartbreak (the flashbacks, regrets, and everything in between).
“Heartbreak is a shared global experience and one that we can’t avoid. An emotion that keeps one up at night, whether in your room or floating through the cosmos inside a space station...” - Ramdaz
So, how'd we get here with the pressure of it all?
You were reckless
But it's never your own fault
And you were reaching
Thought I was sleeping
Saw it all, I saw it all
And someday in the right place
We'll be alright (alright)
I said maybe (if you change your ways)
We'll be alright, alright
Coz it's a fine line when I'm talking to you
It's after midnight
Now baby I'm losing it
No, can't fight
So stop playing the fool
It's after midnight and baby I'm losing my mind
Oh, should've known that we were heading for a fall
It's kinda funny how we chose a breakup song
And we were dancing to the words that broke someone
What could go wrong?
And someday in the right place
We'll be alright, alright
But baby you didn't change your ways
We'll be alright, alright
Coz it's a fine line
when I'm talking to you
It's after midnight and baby I'm losing
No, can't fight
So stop playing the fool
It's after midnight and baby I'm losing my mind
We used to fall apart
Think right back to the start of how this all began to be
We never saw the sign
Red flags so colour blind
It's after midnight
Let me sleep
It's after midnight
It's a fine line when I'm talking to you
It's after midnight and baby I'm losing it
No, can't fight
So stop playing the fool
It's after midnight and baby I'm losing
It's a fine line
When I'm talking to you
It's after midnight and baby I'm losing it
No, can't fight
So stop playing the fool
It's after midnight and baby I'm losing my mind

After the successful release of singles “Don’t Stop The Music” & “Fame” talented singer songwriter Bradley Grey returns with “Jealous”. A candid synth pop jewel “Jealous” is both cinematic & sparse, and entirely in service to Grey’s emotionally led portage.
“Our past experiences shape who we are and who we become. Whether good or painful, they’re there to teach us, to help us grow. The concept for ‘Jealous’ came to me one evening while socializing with friends. Someone passed a comment that struck a familiar chord deep within me, and in that moment I stopped and thought, ‘why am I feeling this way?’ It was just so unnecessary. For me, making music is about being vulnerable… authentic. And so I wanted to write a song where listeners could relate to how I felt in that moment, and connect with an emotion that we all struggle with from time to time. Each of us has our own sacred journey, dotted with difficult experiences and uncomfortable feelings. Often, when we venture into new relationships, these feelings tend to follow us. For me, jealousy was one of those, but I realised that it didn’t need to be!” - Bradley Grey
Grey’s songwriting is an intimate insight into the artist sonic tapestry. Live, Grey is energetic & utterly authentic with elegant pop melodies inspired by contemporary songwriters & performers such as Jon Bellion and Ryan Tedder.

The West Coast Wolves are a 5-piece ensemble boasting a heady compound of rock and roll, alt folk, dark country and surf rock. With strong connections to the ocean & Kreef gods of Southern Africa’s diabolical west coast the wolves draw their inspiration from the Weskus, fireside jam sessions, banjos, chilled quarts, and the icy surf. Excited as they were with their emerging following, the Wolves never anticipated the ground swell they found after the release of their debut EP “Hold The Wheel” (followed by fan favourite singles "The City'' and ''Uncle Tin''). Forced into lockdown as a result of the global pandemic the Wolves regrouped to focus on wood shopping and recording new material for their eagerly awaited debut album.
The video for Billy McKreef is a behind-the-scenes look at the writing & recording of the songs from ‘Don’t Forget to Howl’, which started just before the covid pandemic erupted, and continued right through the successive lock-downs. It captures the first few shows that the Wolves played when things began to open up again, from intimate warm-up shows to a street festival in Cape Town. All the footage is real and shot at the right place and the right time, shown in the sequence it all unfolded. The Wolves decided it would be ideal to tell the story with the Billy McKreef video because it was the blueprint for ‘Don’t Forget to Howl’.
Billy McKreef was written at the time that Pete picked up the 5-string banjo, right after Larry joined the Wolves on the drums. It was a head-on collision of different genres which resulted in a sonic explosion of folk-rock, west coast banjo and surf-punk with a bouncy hip-hop groove.
The reference to “Protect the West Coast’ is a connection to the Wolves support for the civic campaign to stop commercial mining programs that threaten to destroy the ecology and culture of South Africa’s west coast.

The ebb and flow of music pulls and recedes as consistently as tides. In the current market, getting noticed as a drop in an ever changing ocean, means being at the cusp of the wave. Unabashed about his influences, Alainite flaunts the range of modern music trends, taking advantage of the song-writing confidence of an artist with years of diverse experience. When I’m With You is an ode to nostalgia and pop punk driven by high energy drums and guitars, equally matched by the vocal abilities of Alainite. The song covers the topic of true love and the feelings one gets when finding their soulmate. From doubt and depression to elation and happiness. When I’m With You aims to celebrate love and the ones who matter most.
“When I’m With You is a total nostalgia trip! I wanted to time travel to a youthful genre, and one that inspired me to pick up an instrument and find a voice. Revisiting bands like Blink 182, NOFX and Green Day inspired me to truly capture the energy and nostalgia of that golden ‘when-punk-met-pop’ era…” Alainite

► Book Of Miriam orcd.co/bookofmiriam
The Black Cat Bones explore their Motown side on the soulful single 'When I See You'.
'When I See You' is the latest single taken from The Black Cat Bones album 'Book Of Miriam' (now available to pre order).
“When I See You speaks to human insecurities and feelings of inadequacy within a relationship. The writer feels that he is not deserving enough of their partners love but is somewhat satiated by their partners presence each morning. He goes on to confess that his biggest desire is self-worth and that he’s willing to do anything to achieve that. When I see you is also inspired by that golden Motown era. We wanted to dig into the buoyancy, the swing and groove of that era / genre and pay homage to the incredible musicians from that era. Adding a brass section to the track, with those classic call-and-response brass accents, was an absolute dream come true.” - Andre Kriel (The Black Cat Bones)
“Our new album 'Book of Miriam' is an ode to powerful women in the world and with Miriam (Makeba) our admiration is immense; her legacy, and spirit inspires the band. Working with a producer of Matthew Fink’s calibre and the incredible just music team has further inspired (and elevated) The Black Cat Bones to take new steps and fresh directions. When the label suggested that we try our hand at a soulful Motown direction we jumped at the opportunity, and lo and behold it turned out to be right up our alley! We’ve obviously retained some of the traditional bones roots, but this time around we opened ourselves up to an array of genres and styles which we’d never have had the confidence to pursue otherwise. Book of Miriam is by far the most honest, exciting, and varied record that we’ve completed to date.” - Andre Kriel (The Black Cat Bones)

Basson Laubscher & his band of blues-rock bandits brings you a hard-hitting, raw, garage-rock salvo on his latest single shoot me down. The track takes lyrical inspiration from the frustration and defeat from the end of a relationship and inevitable breakup and blends it musically into blissfully dirty, heavy, psychedelic, fuzzed-out rock n' roll. Laubscher shows how he makes his Stratocaster sing with his signature passionate, raw & pure soul ecstasy.

"FUZIGISH has never made a music video like this before. Due to the general mayhem and overall awesomeness of punters at shows, the band has always relied on 'live footage' videos. Therefore the making of a 'concept' music video was approached with both fear and excitement. It was like the first time you decided to step up and jump off a cliff into the lake. Loads of been before and it was fine. So you just do it and hope for the best. If the 'best' is a visual overload, with a DIY astro man, a floating cosmic shark, several old school televisions and a wormhole featuring a dancing hippo and chicken combo, then we can say that all went well. Will FUZIGISH ever make a music video like this again? Probably..." Jay Bones (Fuzigish Frontman)
Iconic South African punk rockers FUZIGISH release their commanding self-titled album marking the bands 25th anniversary on the 25th of April 2022. Platinum-selling producer Matthew Fink (Anna Wolf / The Medicine Dolls / Black Cat Bones / WONDERboom) stacks the bands 6th full-length release with a potent velocity that breaks powerful new ground. Lined with their signature horns, pounding drums, rock solid bass & riff heavy leanings, the album has a sonic ferocity that will satiate established fans and stealthy reach for new fans alike.

'Old Town' takes a nostalgic drive through chief songwriter, Bassson Laubscher's carefree youth.
Basson Laubscher & The Violent Free Peace's ' Old Town' takes a nostalgic drive down memory lane recalling the carefree comfort of youth. The track finds chief songwriter, Basson Laubscher, reminiscent of the days and nights of his youth, entering adulthood and his coming of age story in the sleepy, student town of Stellenbosch, South Africa. Basson reflects on how life moves on, but you can still be stuck in the comfort of the past and reaches a sober reflection in that, no matter how comfortable and good the past may be, life marches on and it is time to embrace the present and move on to find your next chapter.

The Black Cat Bones make a startling return with the release of “Quit It”.
South Africa’s hardest working blues-rock jamboree, The Black Cat Bones make a startling return with the release of “Quit It”; a song warning of the pitfalls of excess. Written for Miriam Makeba by her daughter Bongi, the song features on the classic Caiphus Semenya produced, “A Promise” (released in 1974). The Black Cat Bones deliver a swaggering rock and roll sermon, reformatting with a deep southern groove, Muscle Shoals horns and frontman Kobus de Kock’s soulful delivery. In reworking this cautionary tale The Black Cat Bones uncover a dynamic new range, and one that looks set to garner continued praise. “Quit it” is produced by Matthew Fink (Anna Wolf / Nakhane / The Medicine Dolls / Matthew Mole) and is taken from The Black Cat Bones forthcoming studio album.
The Black Cat Bones is a multi-genre conglomerate of like-minded music makers from Gauteng, South Africa. Andre Kriel, Kobus de Kock, Gareth Bunge & Casey Rothman forms part of the core founded in 2007 and are regularly accompanied by an array of the countries most talented collaborates and guest artists.

The Black Bones are recognised for their hard work ethic and respected among their peers as one of the most driven musical outfits in South Africa.
“The production for the ‘Quit it’ video must be one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever been a part of. Working with the brilliance that is Cito, paired with a well-oiled, and a professional team was a real eye opener for us. We excited to share this with you and are very grateful and proud...” - Andre Kriel / The Black Cat Bones
“I’m very honoured to have been asked by the brothers of The Black Cat Bones to direct the video for “Quit It”. Daunting too, as it’s the first video I’ve directed where I was not the artist. Luckily, BCB are amazing subjects to shoot, and everyone just came to the party, from filming to post, cast and crew. Kobus is an icon of a frontman and is such pleasure to work with..."

LYRICS:
You take drugs to psych your mind, you take wine to forget about time
You create a world of your own, where the truth will never be known
Well brother, don't you know now, that you're killing yourself? And nobody else
Why don't you quit it now? Yeah, why don't you quit it now?
You better quit it now (I said you better quit it now)
Cloud nine, no responsibility, you're floating in space, feeling good
Running away will never make you a man, 'Cause reality is gonna bring you down
But brother, don't you know now, that you're killing yourself? And nobody else
Why don't you quit it now? Why don't you quit it now?
You better quit it now, I said you better quit it now (Lord have mercy)
Why don't you quit it now? Yeah, you better quit it now
You got a problem, go see a doctor, Doctor can't help, see your brother
Why don't you try talking to your mama sometime? Remember she brought you into the world
But sister, don't you know now, that you're killing yourself (and nobody else)
Why don't you quit it now? You better quit it now
I said you better quit it now, you better quit it now
Yeah quit it (yeah)

Deeper draws on cinematic aesthetics primarily inspired by the interplays of human relationships.
Saint Danger's debut single 'Deeper' chronicles a blatant disregard for comfort and security supported by ethereal pads, retro synths and sample cuts. Drawing on cinematic aesthetics Deeper is primarily inspired by the interplays of human relationships and the ensuing complexities of sex, love, dark and light. Saint Danger is an electronic soul / pop duo based in Johannesburg, South Africa. Members Charlie and Ross create amalgamated rhythms and emotions with perfect musical chemistry that inspires the duo to step out of commercial comfort zones. Saint Danger’s debut album On Gods and Goats is set to drop mid-2022.

'The Cosmic Horror explodes with menacing existentialism...'
"The Cosmic Horror! infuses real existential questions with fictional stories and explores what constructs our drives, thoughts and desires. Whether it be a god, meaning or a little bit of both" – Crash and The Void
Crash and the Void is an experimental alternative rock band from Pretoria, South Africa. Founded in 2019 "Crash And The Void'' consists of two brothers; Marius Schutte on lead vocals (also boasting a music theory degree) and brother Lumar Schutte, a highly decorated session drummer. Completing the lineup is Waldo Van Der Linde on guitar + lead, and Dillon Van Heerden on bass guitar (and sound engineering). Crash & The Void's collective influence ranges from Hans Zimmer to Black Sabbath. Crash And The Void infuse balls-to-the-wall rock and roll with horror and sci-fi genres.
LYRICS:
What a shame
I've got nowhere to go
Time is going real slow
Walking through the pouring rain
My bones are ice cold and this voice so old
Calling out to me I see a face in my dreams
And I know that it seems like
Pure insanity
Her voice keeps calling
Keeps calling out to me
And I can't find my meaning yet
Maybe I'll find out, when I'm dead
I can't dream the same again
Without your tentacles around my heart
My red remains seep through
This cross you nailed me to It's not your god
It's just a badly reconstructed silhouette
All my sympathies
To you unenlightened few
You'll never see what I see
Never do as I do
Too bad he ain't talking to you
He's just talking to me
Conveniently, yeah I see his face in my dreams
And I know that it seems like pure insanity
His voice keeps talking to me and only me
And I can't find my meaning yet
Maybe I'll find out, when I'm dead
I can't dream the same again
Without your tentacles around my heart
My red remains seep through
This cross you nailed me to It's not your god
It's just a badly reconstructed silhouette
And I can't find my meaning yet
Maybe I'll find out, when I'm dead
I can't dream the same again
Without your tentacles around my heart
My red remains seep through
This cross you nailed me to
It's not your god, it's just a badly reconstructed silhouette

Nic was a member of The Parlotones for a short while in 2009 and contributed to the band’s song writing up until 2018. Notable tracks include the band’s well-known hit “Push me to the Floor”.
With the introduction of Tom Hughes (FUZIGISH / Vulvodynia) on drums, SonOfOld has a much more potent rhythmic drive when compared to the 2020 release. The sound is heavier, more guitar orientated and quite clearly Rock music. This is more than evident on the new track as Nic explains, “For me this track has a Nirvana-esque feel mixed with the Neil Young and Crazy Horse album “Ragged Glory.” It was a track I did not think would cut it at first, but somehow came together well in the studio.”
SonOfOld started with the release of two albums simultaneously in 2008, Change is How you Feel and 3% Baby. Both albums were well received by Rolling Stone Magazine Germany and Musik Express. Following the releases of 2008 Nic embarked on a busy touring schedule with Perez and the Parlotones and then after returning to Germany in 2009 more touring with Sonofold. It was a busy period during which Olsen met well-known German drummer Florian Schanze (Massive Tone ; Obliterations , Pink Mountaintops , Dudeman) who became Sonofold’s second member. After many hours of jamming, writing and touring with bands like The Wave Pictures, The Rural Alberta Advantage and Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine this two-piece rock band version of Sonofold resulted in the release of a third full length album referred to as “The Wolf Album” (2011) This album was recorded in Chicago with well-known engineer Steve Albini. (Pixies, Breeders, Nirvana and many more). Shortly after the release of the Wolf Album Florian got an offer to join a band based on Los Angeles. Olsen then moved back to South Africa. After a 9-year break of releasing music as Sonofold, Olsen returned in 2020 with a self-titled album “Sonofold”. The album was produced by drummer Tom Hughes (FUZIGISH, Vulvodynia) and the material was mostly sourced from material written between 2009 and 2018. After the release of the album Nic and Tom managed to play a few shows together showcasing as much of the music as possible given the circumstances surrounding the global pandemic. In early 2021 the two decided to get back into the studio. The result is the forthcoming EP “Ghosts” (out 04 March 2022).

SXEEPS takes a deep dive into one of South Africa's most beloved, modern classics.
“I’ve always held a very special place for this song. The resonance & emotion delivered via Karen (Zoid) & Francois (van Coke)’s version is palpable. My intention was to unpack the song and boil it down to its essential elements. Strip it to its core…” - SXEEPS
"Ek was altyd verlief vir die Afrikaanse kultuur. Hulle stories, hulle legendes hulle helde. Ek is ‘n Afrikaner wat gefassineerd is met sy taal. Daar is dinge wat ‘n mens net in Afrikaans kan se. Die taal het ‘n sag geaardheid wat dinge baie hartseer en op dieselfde tyd verskriklik mooi kan beskryf. Hierdie liedjies het vir die afgepende twintig jaar saam met my gegroei, saam met my verander. To ek ,”Kom dans Klaradyn “, die eerste keer gehoor het , Het ek daarvan gehou. Daai spesifieke opname was deur Gé Korsten en Nellie Du Toit, Die woorde was beeldskoon maar Ek het geweet ek moes ook my weergawe van hom maak , ‘n klein bietjie meer modern. Dit is waar die Avontuur van Spooksanger begin het. Met daai lied. Baie van die liedjies wat ek skryf het ‘n oorsprong in Afrikaanse kultuur. Die liedjie kom maklik vir my , maar die regte sanger vir die duintjies is moeilik om te vind..." - SXEEPS
"Ek het baie keer probeer met baie mense, maar elke keer kon ek nie daai towerkuns vang en omhels nie. Ek het baie probeer en baie misluk. Toe het ek vir ‘n lang tyd gedink dat hierdie liedjies net vergete sal lê..." - SXEEPS

Nic Jeffrey changes course to powerful effect with electro-pop banger 'Whoohoo'.
Continuing his exploration into electro-pop with new single, Woohoo, Nic fills out the track with swift vocals, punchy basslines, and an addictive drumbeat. Written about the feeling you experience when only a single person in the world knows exactly how you feel, the song celebrates the importance of having someone you can always rely on during turbulent times.

"When I initially drew up the concept for the music video I knew I wanted something fresh, fun and most of all pink! I always resort to wearing some black fashion piece but this time around I wanted something joyful to express my freedom. The video was filmed in my house. During the making of the video my dog named Wolf was constantly playing with his toy around my feet which made it tricky at times to not get him in frame. My make-up artist had to play "fur- baby- babysitter".
I really enjoyed editing this video as it showcases the various performance dynamics of my personality. I can go anywhere, I can become whomever I want. I can even decide which colours I want to be for the day, in this case I chose Pink. It was such a fun impromptu shoot and working with Paul Harries is a dream. Talented, secure and he always has a great eye for his subject.
Heaven Breaths Out is exactly what it says. The feeling of letting go of any hindrance and stepping into alignment with one's true self. Put them blinders on and race like the horses through this beautiful and magical thing called life..." - Anna Wolf
"The video for Heaven Breaths Out is a mere fragment of what an Anna Wolf show is like. Fun, raw and unpredictable. Collaborator, Paul Harries is one of my all time favourite creatives and photographers. The video tastes so good in my mouth, like pink bubblegum..." - Anna Wolf
Anna Wolf claims her space as a complex, compelling, globally-relevant artist with her latest EP, Romance Was Born. The five-track release eludes easy classification, with the South African-born, London-based artist moving with conviction through music that is dramatic and orchestral (“Dreaming Again”), hushed and textured (“Can I Get High on You?), visceral and kinetic (“Heaven Breathes Out”) and other-worldly and rhythmic (“Vegas”). Romance Was Born includes first single “GONG”, which was released early in 2021. Together with its accompanying video, the song earned critical acclaim for its moody, dark and unforgettable sound and visuals.
Indeed, it’s this combination of her singular music with different elements of artistic expression that ensures Wolf stands out; that enables her to inhabit the worlds of both conceptual art and pop, with her songs ready to transport listeners, fill the dance floor and climb the charts. Already the songs on Romance Was Born have been earmarked for inclusion in a feature film which will simultaneously see Wolf taking on her first significant acting role.
“In so many ways my creativity starts from a visual impulse that then starts fluttering through the music,” says Wolf. “The songs on the EP contain imagery and stories that surfaced within me and found expression in, first my demos, and then with Matthew (Fink) who is truly like a wizard in the studio...” - Anna Wolf
Throughout her artistic incarnations – including the award-winning Tailor – Wolf has mined a thrilling visual and sensory world. It’s no surprise that her songs, among them “Shaped Like A Gun” and “Wolf”, have been the inspiration for choreographers on shows like “So You Think You Can Dance” (USA) and are utterly transporting when performed live by this accomplished musician. Her songwriting itself has earned Wolf international acclaim, including seeing her become the first South African to win Unsigned Only's Grand Prize in 2019 for the song "Believer." Wolf beat out almost 6,000 entries from more than 100 countries worldwide to be named the winner by a judging panel that included Garth Hudson (The Band), Taj Mahal, Aimee Mann, O.A.R., Sanctus Real, Bow Wow, Boney James, Ruthie Foster, and Robert Smith (The Cure).
Although constrained by pandemic times, Wolf is already eyeing a set of festivals and solo shows as the world opens up to live music again. Among these is Colours of Ostrava (Czechoslovakia, July 2022) and HOT VOX presents at Old Queens Head (London, 2 September 2021).
“I want my music to give artistic shape to all of our life’s journeys, which are not fixed. I aim to get to heart of the story, to seek the truth and to manifest authenticity and I am excited about people joining me on this journey – whether for the first time or with those who have been with me through its unfolding...” - Anna Wolf

Making things light is what the Nomadic Orchestra do best, but making light of the last couple of years has been real tough, to say the least. The Nomads had to focus on the future with some optimism and hope, waiting for a world full of living, dancing and laughing to return. For the band, memories of the hustle and bustle of Cape Town nightlife was something they held firmly in their hearts and minds, and this gave The Nomadic Orchestra the energy to create something new and keep the light shining bright in SA’s music scene.
Nomadic Orchestra is a five-piece brass dance band, based in Cape Town, South Africa. The primary goal of the Nomads, as they’re affectionately referred to, is to get people moving. The band plays an infectious kind of high-energy dance music guaranteed to get feet tapping and limbs flailing.
As a band and team of musical brothers, we felt motivated and driven to keep our work alive and to, once again, bring our tongue-in-cheek optimism back to the fans and dance floors of South Africa. See you Out & About again!” – Gabriel Du Toit

'Take It Over' detonates with infectious afro-beat, hip hop, and global pop flavours.
In early 2021 Audio Militia, the powerhouse Music Agency and collective of Producers and Song-Writers, had the task of writing a Summer track for the Nigerian brand, BetKing’s new advertising campaign.
After crafting the initial ideas for the beat, the next step was to find an amazing Nigerian vocalist, to give the track the right flavor. Enter, Moses Agboola, popularly known as Mo Eazy, A Nigerian – British Afrobeat artist, who was born in the ancient city of Kano NIGERIA. His family eventually settled in South London, UK, where he spent years developing his unique brand of African influenced Hip Hop music. Though he lived in the UK for the good part of his life, Mo Eazy is well grounded in his African heritage. By combining his native tongue and homegrown rhythms with Western musical influences, he has created a unique style and sound that’s increasingly gaining favouritism with fans across Africa and beyond.
After seeing the buzz the track created online during the campaign, Audio Militia got to work on a full length version of the track, planned for release on all major streaming services and radio stations in late 2021. To add the finishing touches to the track, they decided to collaborate with the incredibly talented female Nigerian music star, Looking for Avala. Born Saidat Balogun, the Afro House queen, who was also a star on Big Brother Nigeria, has had her feet in the entertainment industry for a while. Music has always been her first love and she definitely took the track to a new level. Take it Over came together and was recorded across three different countries, South Africa, The UK & Nigeria, showing that music is truly a universal language, and has the power to bring people, cultures and genres together.

Sonofold is the project of South African singer songwriter, Nic Olsen. Olsen is best known as one of the front men for early 2000‘s alternative rock band Perez. The band enjoyed success with songs like ‘Picture Perfect’, ‘Dreams and Troubles’ and ‘Wasted Out’. Nic was a member of The Parlotones for a short while in 2009 and contributed to the band’s song writing up until 2018. Notable tracks include the band’s well-known hit “Push me to the Floor”.
With the introduction of Tom Hughes (FUZIGISH / Vulvodynia) on drums, SonOfOld has a much more potent rhythmic drive when compared to the 2020 release. The sound is heavier, more guitar orientated and quite clearly Rock music. This is more than evident on the new track as Nic explains, “For me this track has a Nirvana-esque feel mixed with the Neil Young and Crazy Horse album “Ragged Glory.” It was a track I did not think would cut it at first, but somehow came together well in the studio.”
SonOfOld started with the release of two albums simultaneously in 2008, Change is How you Feel and 3% Baby. Both albums were well received by Rolling Stone Magazine Germany and Musik Express. Following the releases of 2008 Nic embarked on a busy touring schedule with Perez and the Parlotones and then after returning to Germany in 2009 more touring with Sonofold. It was a busy period during which Olsen met well-known German drummer Florian Schanze (Massive Tone ; Obliterations , Pink Mountaintops , Dudeman) who became Sonofold’s second member. After many hours of jamming, writing and touring with bands like The Wave Pictures, The Rural Alberta Advantage and Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine this two-piece rock band version of Sonofold resulted in the release of a third full length album referred to as “The Wolf Album” (2011) This album was recorded in Chicago with well-known engineer Steve Albini. (Pixies, Breeders, Nirvana and many more). Shortly after the release of the Wolf Album Florian got an offer to join a band based on Los Angeles. Olsen then moved back to South Africa.

WONDERboom celebrate their 25th Anniversary with tender track, Prodigal Son.
Celebrating their 25th anniversary, WONDERboom see the release of their aptly titled best of collection, 25. Foreshadowing the release of 25 is the tender new single 'Prodigal Son' helmed by Platinum selling producer Matthew Fink (Anna Wolf / Nakhane Toure / Bye Beneco / Matthew Mole). Lead singer Cito explains that Prodigal Son rounds out the bands 25 career by “offering a sweet shot of optimism, faith and belief…” adding that “this ethos is further galvanised by Matthew’s immaculate production and shared vision. We're extremely blessed to still be here creating new music, and celebrating the band’s incredible milestone this year with 25!” 'Prodigal Son' is also close to WONDERboom guitarist and co-writer Martin Schofield’s heart adding that “the track feels like a song for the times, a little sad, a little prophetic, yet hopeful. Prodigal Son is musically (and lyrically) very honest…searching for some kind of acceptance and peace of mind…”
To date WONDERboom have released 9 albums, headlined every major South African festival, performed on global stages, and have been nominated for 5 SAMAS (South African Music Awards). There can be few South African music fans that aren’t familiar with their hits, like ‘Never Ever’, ‘Jafta Rebel’, ‘Something Wrong’, ‘Green Fever’, ‘Africa’, ‘Shadows’, ‘Charlie’, ‘It’s Great to be Alive’, ‘Best Side’, ‘On The Radio’, ‘Karaoke Bar’ and, more recently ‘Ooh La La’, ‘Southern Light’, ‘Voodoo Doll’ and ‘Rabbit Hole’. In 2004 the band took 1st place at the South African leg of the Global Battle of the Bands placing 2nd at the prestigious London Astoria finals. In early December 2017, the band travelled to Chengdu, China to represent South Africa at the Silk Road Indie Music Festival competition taking first prize against 14 international territories which included the UK, China, Japan, Australia and Germany. In 2018 the band opened for Platinum selling rock icons Guns ‘n Roses at the prestigious FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Directed by indie film maker, Ivyann Moreira-Schofield, and in celebration of WONDERboom’s '25' collection the band is releasing a documentary WONDERboom: 25 For Life which captures their illustrious history via archival footage, interviews (and more).

PRODIGAL SON LYRICS:
I’m getting us lost in our own town
Same old streets but it’s broke down
Is this the dream where I run from you and trip myself?
I’m waking up into the real world
One, two, left, right
Marching in a straight line
Teenage soldiers, bang bang!
Thank God they’re not mine
Would I die for you?
Please don’t forget me
And always be here
I’m on the road, I had to go
I called up to let you know that
I would die for you
Finding new ways ‘round old tricks
Let it play, music’s a new fix
Is this the dance we do so well and all fall down?
This naked king needs a new crown
One life, lovesick
Looking for my best friend
Daydream’s over, hey hey
I’m on the big screen
Tell my mama her favourite son has arrived
Please don’t forget me
And always be here
I’m on the road, I had to go
I called up to let you know
When you strip it down to the bone
Nobody wants to die alone
And by the time I get home
By the time I get home
By the time I get home
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
I would die for you
