   About Bernard Binns

BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS

New album OUTSIDE LOOKING IN has just been released and is available immediately.

Born in Weston-Super-Mare, England, Bernard was brought up in South Africa where he became involved in music from an early age. Starting out as a drummer, he moved to the guitar and songwriting where he discovered he had a knack for writing original, catchy pop songs. The result of this creativity was the formation of the famous South African pop band The Helicopters which had major chart success with hits such as 'Mysteries & Jealousy', 'Only For You', 'I Wanna Live in Hollywood' and 'Whisper Your Secret.

While forming and developing a highly-successful marketing-communications agency, Bernard continued to collaborate musically which led to the release of his first solo album Physiognomy of the Soul. Well received in South Africa, Physiognomy also received significant radio play in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Germany. After a brief sojourn in SW France, Bernard nows divides his time between a village in an area he calls Druidland nestled between the ancient stone formations of Stonehenge and Avebury in Wiltshire, England and a mountain retreat in the Garfagnana region of northern Tuscany. Apart from music, Bernards interests span contemporary art and digital photography to all things culinary. Check out his official website: www.bernardbinns.com

The second single from the new album, God's Land featured here is now available for download on iTunes and many other online shops. Cut to the Bone, the first single released in late 2006 was warmly received and reached number 2 on the Australian Radio Ison network world charts, number 1 on leading UK-based online station Matchbox and received significant worldwide airplay on Delta FM (Surrey UK), Isles FM (Scotland), Bravo 106.7 FM (Chile), Madison Mix 108, World Vibe Radio, Blue Sky FM, The Church Basement Radio, What Sound, Sick Radio, Mixed Bag Sound system, Deep Cuts Rare Blend Radio, Buzz Rock Radio live, Sara Radio, Overground Radio, Radio Freakout, Radio Blitz 24 FM, Tyneside Net Radio, Radio TE, Private DRM Music Radio, Deep Cuts Radio, The Eclectic Soul, Oversight Radio, Matchbox Radio 24, Radio TE, Mad Radio 108, Diamond Café, The S and S show and many more.

CIAO BINNS, WELCOME TO “PALESTISRAEL CITY” AND KEEF THE RIDE…
PEACE FOR KIDS BY BOOGIE BALAGAN


LAMENTATION WALLOO

When i was a boy
I was dreaming of a land
A Promised land for everyone
When i was a kid
I was diggin n’ diggin
Across the border line
I was sawing the seeds of time
Sun flowers, avatiah...feeling fine

My homeboy Ali was my buddy
But he was playing by the other side...

So we were climing up those mountains
Flyin’ high as eagles do...
N’ meanwhile
heads were banging
On the lamentation walloo

When i was a toy
I was praying with the gun
I didn’t know how to read
between the lines
When i was a toy
I was bleeding n’bleedin
It was a sign of spine
I was layin’ on my home grown sorrow
A kind of bleeding graps of wine
My homeboy Ali was my best enemy
But he was burried by the other side...
(Azriel : ps 9 the Walloo Book)

MONOCULAR - "Water Shape EP" - Release!

We are very proud to announce, that Monocular s "Water Shape EP" is available at your favorite Online-Store now.

Containing the single "Water Shape" from the forthcoming album "Somewhere On The Line" (April 03, 2009 VierSieben Records/Alive) and three non-album tracks ("Consequence", "To Admire The Life", "Ravenclaw"), it is definitely a must have for all fans of filigree and athmospheric electrosounds.

Where bands like Lamb or Frou Frou left a gap in the late 90s and early 21st century, Monocular redefined the sound and set new standards in developing their complex music by connecting charismatic vocals with entrancing soundscapes.

Don't miss it!

Ci siamo quasi!!!
Abbiamo avuto il coraggio di proporre alla commissione artistica del 59esimo FESTIVAL DI SANREMO un brano decisamente rock e finora l'azzardo ci ha dato ragione! :D

Ora serve tutto l'aiuto possibile per riuscire ad avverare il sogno di una vita. E' per questo che ci rivolgiamo anche a te nella speranza di poter contare sul tuo sostegno.

Ascolta "CONSAPEVOLE" e guarda il video!! Parla di come in un rapporto di coppia, ma anche nella vita sociale, ci sia troppo spesso la tendenza a fuggire le proprie responsabilità, ponendosi come spettatori passivi.

Se il nostro pezzo dovesse incontrare i tuoi gusti e riuscire a far vibrare attorno a te una sensazione positiva, ti saremmo davvero grati se decidessi di darci una mano con il tuo voto.
Riconoscenti fin d'ora, ti abbracciamo.
Lele, Chris, Ganjio, Kori
