The Cat That Walks Alone - Up-and-Coming Artist


Recently added to our Up-and-Coming section is the Indie Rock artist 'The Cat That Walks Alone'. 


His second single Push/Pull is released on the 27th February 
2012. We think this new single will have you playing this song on repeat; his unique voice just seems to perfectly fit the detailed rhythm - not forgetting the catchy choruses. It's an outstanding track and we wish Cameron (a.k.a. The Cat That Walks Alone) great success in the future. The new single Push/Pull is now airing on Just Another Radio and we encourage you to purchase the track (if you like it as much as we do) when it is released on the 27th February.

''Push/Pull is the follow up single to his debut, which has now sold over 500 copies through airplay and word of mouth alone.  The new single’s intricately layered guitars weave around an infectious synth and soaring chorus giving elements of MGMT, Biffy Clyro and Grandaddy, yet remaining characteristic of The Cat That Walks Alone in it's distinct vocals and pounding groove."

“Gorgeous...”  Gary Crowley, BBC Introducing
“With big choruses, and an unmistakeable voice, The Cat is definitely one to watch!” The Good Villager
“A cracker of a debut..”  Jim Gellatly, In:demand Uncut

Somebody That I Used To Know - Walk Off The Earth (Cover)

Leading up to this week's Indie Top 10, here is (an awesome) music video by (the awesome) Walk Off The Earth. The (awesome) song that they cover (awesomely) is a recent Indie hit by Gotye called 'Somebody That I Used To Know'. The video shows the 5 members playing on 1 guitar, and as the comments will show you, the guy on the far right is epic.

Kevin M. Thomas - Up-and-Coming Artist


KEVIN M. THOMAS
Recently added to our radio, is the up-and-coming acoustic rock artist, Kevin M. Thomas, from Washington, D.C. His musical styles are similar to the likes of Sting, Steve Perry and Bruce Dickinson.
His material has been featured in MTV/Spike TV Series, "10 Things Every Guy Should Experience", in addition to International TV Film series such as, "Distant Shores", "Studio 54", "Cyber Seduction", 
"Vinegar Hill" as well as with Microsoft Internet and Ringback Tones. 


His voice has been likened to Steve Perry of Journey.  His original music is deep and emotional.  Outside of SL, Kevin has written Classical Compositions in his Chamber Music Collection and his Piano Collection.  In RL, Kevin's day job has him doing investigative work which lends to his amazing insight into Corporate America and of course lends a hand to his lyrical genius.  Kevin's music has been used on MTV and several overseas television and radio shows.

His CD entitled "Season 1" is out now to buy on iTunes , you can visit his website here and his Tumblr here. Also, follow him on Twitter here.

Top 10 Chart Comparison (22nd & 29th)

The Caesars are the first to keep the Number 1 spot so far this year! Each time someone keeps the spot, it will shine brighter :D However, there have been a lot of new entries and old entries kicked off. Jimi Hendrix has jumped in at #2, pushing Snow Patrol off the Top 10 and Princess of China to #3.

Florence + the Machine has remained on the charts at #10 but will she be able to hold on until next week? Other new entries include: Rosé, Message in a Bottle, Dakota and Hotel California.
 So, this week saw some of the Rock Classics such as Purple Haze hijack the chart; tune in next Sunday at 12noon or 7pm!
