What people said about the debut album:
"The Dials have recorded two of my favourite recent tracks... I’m loving the album"
Mark Lamarr, BBC Radio 2
"Many knowledgeable heads nod sagely in their direction; Gideon Coe and Mark Lamarr are fans, and now having heard the album, I understand why... a great band"
Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2
"Really, really good"
Dave Henderson, Mojo
"A twanging country psych extravaganza. Right on!" The Fly
"The Dials turn a monolithic corporate space into an intimate roadhouse cafe on the dark side of town. Long may they ride" Michael Kemp, Americana UK
"Theres an old saying, If youre going to steal, steal from the best. The Dials have taken this to heart. From the Beatles to the Byrds, from Cash to the Clash, they take a little bit from everyone and mix it all up into an exhilerating musical stew" Jerry Jodice, The Great American Music Hour, WRIR 973FM, Virginia
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
