The Gulps, Untold River and Reverend and the Makers

About this episode

Jim Salveson introduces listeners to three new bands, highlighting their unique sounds and recent works.

One podcast, three bands... we go again! Jim Salveson is back to introduce you to some awesome new music. This week it includes a band backed by a A&R legend, a great act trying something new stateside and ACTUAL INDIE ROCK ROYALTY. Here's what's on the pod... Rev and Makers : The latest offering from Jon McClure is a record that sounds both confident in its songwriting ability and comfortable in its own skin. The Rev is turning up the Northern Soul inspiration for new album ‘Is This How Happiness Feels’ and the result is a stand out LP from the bands 20 years making music. The Gulps : European punk rock with a very UK sound. It’s easy to see why Mr Oasis, Alan McGee has chosen to back The Gulps and signed them to his Label, It’s Creation Baby. Mixing spikey punk vibes with strong melody in a way that is reminiscent of The Buzzcocks, ‘Got Ya’ is a tune you’ll struggle to sit still to! Untold River : Combining the heart of England’s North West with the sounds of the US, Untold River pays tribute to his old and new homes with “Tragedy on Market Street” revealing some clever songwriting and brilliant musicianship.
