'Lyrically, Quinn shows real sharpness and awareness of modern society.'

- Dan Wilkinson - Americana UK
'Strong songs, eloquently delivered. A highly evocative writer.'
- Neil Fatea - Fatea

hey love your music! and love the quote. I totally agree! I think Kindness is too often under rated! glad to see someone else out there shares the sentiment! can't wait to see you at the green note!
Hello and a Happy New Year to you. An eclectic bunch of songs new to the site this month. The frankly uncategorisable Icelandic band Storsveut Nix Noltes, the sardonic lyics (plus ukelele) of Dent May. some dark folk from The Deep Dark Woods and emerging US singer-songrwiter Israel Nash. Hope you like them all.
Hello. For our final update of 2008 we have a track from the wonderful Todd Snider, classic sounds from The Snakes, the spellbinding voice of Kate Campbell, the atmospheric Iguanas and some leftfield rock'n'roll from Slithering Beast. Merry Christmas/Solstice/whatever and a Happy New Year!
01. Silly Little
01. Pardon Me Angel Town
