Just gave my debut album a listen for the first time in ages, I'm still really fucking proud of it. It documents a shit time in my life and every word is heartfelt and means a lot to me. It's nice to have something positive from that period ❤️
What bands should I be checking out? I still listen to mainly 90s, Oasis, Stone Roses, Verve, OCS etc. Personal opinion and no offence but not a fan of The K's, The Lathums,The Snuts, Fontaine DC, The Reytons. I do like Holy Coves, Senses, The Institutes, so similar to those 🤘🏼♥️
@metpoliceuk
So stop and search was criticised because a high number of black males were stopped by police, this is apparently racist, yet knife crime is massively over represented amongst black males yet to point this out is also racist? 🤔
16 👀🤣🤣🤣 C'mon people we can do better than this. Get me to at least 20 by the end of the day! I'll buy you a freddo each. I promise (please note: may not keep promise)

in Manchester tonight. For a few hours I was a teenager again, I was in my own little world but with 23k others of a similar mindset. Epic, biblical. Soon Realised I'm not a teenager anymore by pulling my hamstring walking down the steps to get out 🙄
Over 60k views and 300 comments on yesterday's post 😳 some great suggestions, obviously I've not had a chance to listen to them all yet, so I've created a playlist of my favourite bands and ones recommended yesterday that I really liked 🤘🏼♥️

Thank you to everyone who's recommended new bands to listen too, the reaction has blown me away! Apologies if I haven't replied to everyone, but I'll definitely make my way through all the suggestions. Hopefully you've found your new favourite band from this too 🤘🏼♥️
*Competition time* As a thank you for streaming my new song "Whispers of Love" I'd like to give away a CD of my debut album.
To win, listen to the track (proof needed 🤣) and guess how many listens it will be on tomorrow. Closest to the number wins 🤘🏼❤️
*NEW RELEASE*
My album "Infinity Is Not Forever" is available now. Includes the brand new title track, aswell as the singles, Twin Flame and out of my mind. Definitely (maybe) a top album of 2024 and a must hear 🤘🏼❤️

Really enjoying checking out all the suggestions, I've definitely realised I've got a specific sound I like, again, no disrespect to the bands I'm not keen on because they're all supremely talented in their own right. Either way it's great to see guitar music is alive and well!

Think I'll start posting a song of the day. Today's track "Say Something" is by English indie rock band,Haven. Released in 2002, Haven were championed by Smiths guitarist, Johnny Marr. The band released two albums, the last being in 2004. Tuuunnneeeee
Three years since
@IncidentVela
released our first single. Sadly, I doubt if we'll record any new music again but what a little journey 2020 was, Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy, BBC, RadioX, it was surreal. Even an offer from a major major record label which we turned down. Madness
*OUT NOW*
"Whispers of Love" The B side to, Infinity Is Not Forever, is available now. Give it a listen and possibly share it for me aswell, thank you kindly 🤘🏼❤️

happy to educate you more if you like? Your new single sounds like a 1994 song by a girl group named shampoo. "Ooh oh were in trouble" hebe confidence but don't be a dick

recorded this track during lockdown from home using mobile phones and laptops. The song was picked up by none other than Steve Lamacq and
@JohnKennedy
and played on national radio! A band that truly shone a beacon of light in dark times!
You know what pisess me off, 2 children dead, more seriously injured and knobs on here are more concerned about point scoring on if the killer is an immigrant, mentally ill, black, white...does it matter? He's a sick fuck who deserves to hang regardless of any of that other shit
Today's song of the day is "People help the people" by English indie rock band, Cherry Ghost. Interestingly, Cherry Ghost originally started as the alias for solo artist, Simon Aldred before eventually morphing into a full band. Tuuunnneeeee 🤘🏼♥️
Some absolute great shouts for new band/artist recommendations, thank you, keep them coming.quite a few I'm familiar with,but a few I wasn't, there really is some talent coming through.Currently listening to

Today's song of the day is by American band, The Black Rebel Motorcycle club. Released in 2007, Windows, featured on their fourth studio album, Baby 81.
Might not sound a lot. 114 listens, but I'm delighted with the response to "Mirrored Skies" to put in to context my entire back catalogue, 27 songs, has less than 600 since being released a year ago, 25 of them under 50 plays in total so thank you to everyone that has listened ♥️

Afternoon, just a quick update, you may have noticed that I've removed all my music from streaming sites, this is due to me re recording the majority of tracks as the quality was shit and didn't do the songs justice. They'll reappear soon, I'm about half way through 🤘🏼🤘🏼❤️
Not many bands from little old Port Talbot make it onto Radio X

Only one band worth playing today. The only band that could make you run through walls, unite the pub in song, and then also get me through a breakup. They were the soundtrack of my youth, fuck, they've even been the soundtrack of my adult life. Oasis
Big thank you to

#PoorMansHardFi
While the rest of the EP is doing great, somehow only 49 people have listened to this absolute beauty 😳 easily one of the best songs you'll hear from an unsigned act. Cost about £5 in electricity to make as well, no expensive studio needed ♥️🤘🏼

Big thank you to

Few days on from my post asking for new bands suggestions, this is what I'm after, one of the best bands of the 00s, along with The Strokes, Doves, War on drugs, Haven etc..no courteeners, hard fi, pigeon detective types please. What a track this is 🤘🏼♥️
That's my xmas eve sorted...nothing has come close to this level...we peaked mid 90s, the home grail of albums for me ❤️🤘🏼 have a great few days, hope a fat bearded man joyfully empty his sack tonight..make of that what you will 🤣 peace and Love

Disgusting comments by the coach. Maybe he's the one who needs to improve. The whole point of children's sport is to develop them, if he doesn't feel he can offer that support then he should go. I would remove my child from the team if this was the management's attitude.
Two things I have taken from todays Oasis ticket scramble.
1. Ticketmaster are a load of shit
2. I'm Shocked at how many people can't spell the word "queue" ...Que, Q, cue, cew, Kew.
This was the first solo track I released way back in June. Written after a breakup and probably the most heartfelt lyrics I've written. Guitar parts on this provided by Vela duo Cardy and Liam 🤘🏼❤️
You've got until 5pm tonight to get your guess in. How many streams will "Whispers of Love" have, it started yesterday on 16? Correct answer or nearest will win a CD of my debut album "Infinity Is Not Forever"

Just listened to the album, Modern Actions by
@spacemonkeys
. Highly recommended, such an up beat positive album. Very primal scream, Happy Mondays and dare I say it, Beautiful South vibe. Brilliant
Getting to record this with my best mates was a brilliant moment during a shit period. Mad mad few months, Radio X, Steve Lamacq,radio interviews across the world,gig offers, a record deal offer, prime Vela just hit different. This album is our masterpiece! 🤘🏼♥️
Out now! This collection of songs was recorded during a 7 months period during lockdown between August 2020 - March 2021. Easily one of the best albums of that time. No studio equipment, just home recordings. Cost fuck all to make aswell. Crazy. 🤘🏼♥️
