dingbat2 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Lucky enough to see him at Later with Jools this year. Cracking voice. He did a stunning version on Leave Fast, can't find it on YouTube anywhere , it was spine tingling Big year for him this year, can only see him becoming massive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billum Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) Yep definitely tipped for some heady heights. Loved him at Citadel, expecting he'll be at the farm, and I'll be there enjoying him Edited January 20, 2019 by billum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I see he has the magnetism of a young Jake Bugg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombfrog Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thought his first single was OK, prefer the new one. He's definitely growing on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havors Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I think his writing is excellent. Some brilliant lyrics beside the catchy chorus' or riffs. A step up from Jake Bugg and some of his questionable lyrics haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yeah I had a chat with him after his gig in Brum towards the end of last year and he confirmed he was going to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscore Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 They've started playing his song on Sam FM, the cheesefest radio station for 40 year olds in Bristol, so he's definitely reached crossover point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listen to it a lot in the car (I haven't got anything fancier than FM so there's not many options). It's funny; they don't play much modern music, but when they pick a song they like, you here it all the time. Last year it was Portugal The Man's Feel It Still.

I've only just about got FM in my car, though a pheasant committed suicide on my car, as I was hurtling down the M5 to my parents' house, and took most of my aerial with it. It's impossible to get the stub it left out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombfrog Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I was on his Wikipedia page just now and noticed that none of his tracks so far (about 10 of them) have entered the top 40. Not even 'Leave Fast', 'That Sound', 'Play God' or 'Dead Boys'. Maybe he needs to try making a track without a two word title? In all seriousness, those tracks have been rinsed constantly on the big radio stations. How have none of them charted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, those tracks have been rinsed constantly on the big radio stations. How have none of them charted? Big radio stations? Not Radio 1 or 2 though. Another reason is he's been a slow burner as far as people knowing who he is. I actually started being a proper fan 2 months after deadboys was released. So he's got a lot of listens on Spotify but never lots within the same week (which gets the chart placing) None of them are big radio hits either (thankfully). He's an artist in more of 90/00s way, in that he's word of mouth, live gigs and people can't wait for the album etc. Jeff Buckley springs to mind. No big hits at all but slow word of mouth...

Razza_bezza Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Saw him last year in Bristol and he blew the roof off the thekla when I asked about glasto At the time he wasn’t sure (so he said) but he’s gone from strength to strength since then and he really is a super talent and the songs sound epic live! Can see him drawing a big crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Radio 1 on at work during the day and he's never off it. Didn't they also put him in their "ones to watch" list of 2018? Can't speak for R2 but R1 has given him loads of support. Reminds me a bit of Rex Orange County, great singer with great songs, loads of support from those in the know but struggled to break through.

They may be holding back a big single when the album comes out but either way his time will come. Although very big time probably second album. I can see his set being the talk of Glastonbury 2019. Mid-afternoon John Peel and it being absolutely rammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP Posted March 10, 2019 Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 It'll be a banger of a set. He won't be my first choice in a clash, however, having seen him in an intimate venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
