"SJ sounds like The Stunning took a year out to travel Australia, shared a flat with some Bad Seeds for a spell and spent the remaining time in the Outback contemplating their lot with nothing but a bottle of red and a Husker Du compilation for company" - Connected magazine
Stephen Joseph McArdle is a singer, songwriter, musician and occasional actor from Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland.
He is just off the road with German rock giants Reamonn for a major tour of Germany and Switzerland.
He is also currently gearing up for the release of his new album, written and recorded in Nashville. It is NOT a country record. Akil Thompson says it is Futuristic Roots Music. Partial Reptile says it is Industrial Blues Hyper Trad. SJ is undecided, but contributors so far include Rodney Crowell, Bryan Sutton, Dan Dugmore and Richard Bennett.
In the past while he has travelled to Hollywood to perform at an Oscar party and had a song - "Till The Docklands Drown" - on the soundtrack of the RTE drama series "Love Is The Drug" in which he also made a brief appearance. Other acting credits include Today FM's PPI Award-winning and iTunes Chart-topping Eamon Lowe Show and various other radio and theatre productions with Calipo Theatre Co and Upstate Live.
Solo and with a band he has toured Ireland and played shows in Germany, including the legendary Bardentreffen festival in Nuremburg. SJ has also been in demand as a session musician, playing mandolin for Ricky Warwick as they opened shows for Bob Dylan (Odyssey, Belfast) and Sheryl Crow (Point, Dublin) as well as at Oxygen. He has also shared a stage or studio with Neil Hannon, Stewart Agnew, Joe Elliott and Ray Heffernan. In his own right, he has opened for Glenn Tilbrook, Steve Wickham, John Spillane, Reamonn and The Thrills.
From the press:
"SJ McArdle brings a welcome bit of grit into proceedings, singing with a voice of such world-weary authority that it's a crying shame he's having to battle it out on a small indie label" - Phil Udell, Hot Press
"SJ McArdle has carved out an enviable reputation as one of the finest musicians in the country. A unique and intriguing talent" - dublinsingersongwriters.com
"Highly intelligent and literate, yet admirably accessible ... damn good" - Jackie Hayden, Hot Press
Hey thanks a million for accepting my friend request SJ ive been a big fan of yours for a long time .hope you can check out my songs and hope you like it.take care
Adviruz is the artist psedonym of Istanbul’s Pinar Gurcan, whose growing passion for sound is translated through her music. Since an early age, she has been listening and mimicking opera singers, writing melodies, songs and poems in which she spoke her mind and reflected her soul. All of which are evident on "Nightly Sounds", an 8 track album which is the equivilent of having a glimpse into a diary, learning of love lost, gained, a snapshot of the human condition from which we can all draw experience... All of these things are developed musically into minimalistic glitch, noise, idm, experimental music and microsounds, its influences reminiscent of work by artists like Tujiko Noriko, Mira Calix, Plaid and Björk.
Adviruz and Section 27 present "Nightly Sounds", an intricately woven and rewarding musical tapestry. Available now for free download.
To celebrate our first 27 releases on Section 27 Netlabel, we proudly present to you "Sectioned", a compilation of 27 tracks, amounting to 2 hours across two discs of twisted electronic beats, discordant melodies, haunting passages, broken ambience, bending senses of time and space, microscopic glitches, pounding bass frequencies, sounds between sounds, the human voice and the audible sensation of music dissolving in acid. This is the sound of your mind's eye. This is the sound of the Sectioned... Strap yourself in and enjoy the experience.
Also features a 75 minute bonus disc "Sectioned : Nonimxs", including 9 remixes of selected Section 27 artists by Nonima and 2 original tracks created by Silent Snow and Nina Kardec using existing Nonima tracks.
Hi SJ, can't stop playing your video 'WHY' it's amazing! you have captured the essence of the song perfectly. Don't tell Annie Lennox but it's much better than her version! Should be in the charts. Good luck. Anne
Out of the shadows of the night the PHOENIX rises from the ashes of the past to stretch his wings and glide across vast lands no soul has ever seen or known
Almost Tomorrow is the third full length collaboration album from Section 27 Netlabel founders Tam Ferrans and Andrew Paterson, under their Nonima & theAudiologist guise. This time around the sound is more melodic, and has a definite feeling of a complete and more mature sound than heard on the previous LP's "Dystopian Battle Hymns" and "Ceremony After Amputation". If you are familiar with their individual projects you may even be in for a slight surprise, as the tracks are not as beat driven like before, but are more atmospheric and sound, well... "bigger". In its 75 minutes, Almost Tomorrow takes you on a trip from the digital rain-soaked cavernous scraping in "Thoughtograph", the ethereal beat jittering of "The Colour of Rain", intercepted transmissions from unknown places in "Com-Intercept", "Ganzfeld"s huge yet strangely insect-like beats until everything you knew comes crashing around you in "Almost Tomorrow". Burning pianos, glitched out soundscapes and intricately programmed beatplay, this may well be their best work to date. Consider it the soundtrack to a rainy overcast day, but with just that glimmer of sunshine peeking from the clouds. "Almost Tomorrow" wears its heart on its sleeve.
