Sounds of an Eccentric is Three! Come celebrate with us - Charity Gig Lending Room March 25th


Sounds of an Eccentric is three years old!

When I spontaneously wrote a review of a Little Comets gig three years ago, I never thought anyone (apart from my mam) would read it,  and to see how the blog has grown over the past few years is incredible and really humbling.


I want to thank everyone who has supported me and my writing. Every band, artist, photographer, promoter, writer, or live music fan - you let me indulge in my two greatest passions in life and for that I am so grateful.

In particular I'd like to thank Cath Wilcox (my darling Mama Soul and Number One fan), Jack and Carly Bowden, Shaan Sira, Ben Marcano-Olivier and all the Tranqua Lite Boys,  Russel Poad, Karl Hodge, Martina Topic, Richy Southern, Phil Mitchell, Mick Dolman, Chantel Littlewood, Arianne Jessop, Nathan Robinson, Alethea Shephard, Adam Gallagher, Cal Ruddy and all the team at Spotlight UK and Indie Central Music. You're all fabulous and have given me the support and confidence to be the brutally honest writer I am today.





There'll be a networking session during the night - so bring your business cards. The lovely Adina Kakanskas will also be running a cake stall.




Earlier this week we filmed the second episode of Booze, Bands, Banter and two new exciting new video series that will be with you shortly.

It gives me immense pleasure to announce that SOAE has two new partners - our Sound Engineer Ben Marcano-Olivier and our video editor Tom Kirk. 



The Rough Jazz Enthusiasts amongst you may recognise Ben as the front man of Tranqua Lite. He'll be making all of our video content sound incredible. He's a wildly talented and warm human being and Shaan and I are so excited to be working with him. 


We've also got the amazing Tom Kirk joining us as our video editor. He'll be transforming this babbling fool into a somewhat cool and composed host - so it's safe to say that he's got his work cut out for him!

If you want to be involved or appear in our videos then email us at:  soaefilms@gmail.com
For all other enquiries (any written content, submissions, PR or spotify playlist related topics) please email: salwilcoxjournalist@gmail.com

Once again - thank you to everyone who reads, watches and supports our work. 2018 has been one massive high so far and we've got loads more exciting content planned for you lovely folk. Here's to great music, happy memories and friends I'll cherish forever.

Track of the Week - Sarajevo - The K's

Merseyside natives The K's kicked off 2018 by announcing that they had been signed to Republic Music Management. With a handful of sold-out headline shows already under their belt, their tongue-and-cheek indie tunes are earning them a loyal fan base and plenty of buzz. Their debut single 'Sarajevo' is an infectiously catchy and utterly charming track. The vocals are akin to a more in-tune Jamie T, giving their witty lyrics a warm ambiance.  The upbeat melody gives a nod to early 2000s indie, but the ferocious riffs and hearty bass lines give it plenty of originality.  The track has already achieved half a million streams on Spotify and it's a sure bet that there's bigger and better things on the horizon for The K's.

'YOUR TRIP BEGINS NOW' - THE FROOT '67 E.P. REVIEW

'Your trip begins now' is the latest four track E.P. from Hull's finest pysche rock outfit: The Froot '67.  As the name would suggest, the group's roots are planted within dynamic 60's rock and the band have revitalised this era through their bold, gritty sound. The E.P. opens with 'Chaos Theory', a track that is fuelled by frantic and beefy lo-fi riffs, whilst Newby's vocals take a more subtle, nonchalant route. Despite being a psyche rock track, the overall sound of the song reminds me of a more reserved version of 'Gravedweller' by The Wytches. It's a very different sound to their debut album; '7 past 8'; but this grungier edge is definitely a good thing for the group. It's broadening their sound without destroying the unique vibe they've already established for themselves. Plus, it;s a really engaging opening to the E.P. and sets a raw, and somewhat brooding, ambiance for the E.P. The following track, 'I don...

Red Rum Club with Support From Tiger Twins, Paradas and Turnstones

Last night Liverpudlian six-piece Red Rum Club enthralled a lively crowd at Leeds' Lending Room. Kicking the night off was Leeds based four-piece Turnstones . Unfortunately, the majority of their set was timid and unimpressive. Their songs were pleasant enough, just very safe sounding, and they looked painfully awkward on stage. However the last two tracks of their set were fantastic -they skyrocketed from blasé to ballsy. They engaged more with the audience and came out of their shells - it was like watching a completely different band. They need to scrap the first section of their set and focus on creating songs like the last two. Up next was local group Paradas . Their front man had a dreamy rock tone, akin to Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill, with an admirable vocal range. His lilting vocals complimented the gritty classic rock inspired riffs, giving their sound a rich depth. Occasionally their riffs were a bit repetitive, so it'd be interesting to see some ...
