Myles Cochran: “I’m an American transplant into Europe, splitting my time between London and Devon in the UK. I was born and raised in Kentucky, then time in and around New York City playing in bands and working in studios as an engineer, producer and musician.

I’ve recently been working with Irish singer, songwriter and harpist Brona McVittie, playing steel guitar and co-producing her albums.”

A true artist and songwriter world-renowned for his prolific, heartfelt alt-rock love songs, Stephen has released ten albums to date, with his eleventh on the way. He is produced by Steve Albini. His body of work was culled from a lifetime of experiences, including those as an engineer, a Hollywood actor, a custom builder, and a TV host. Though Stephen lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, his family hails from New Orleans and New York. His Italian grandfather was a multi-instrumentalist during the roaring 20s and an aunt on the French side of his family was a fabulous blues singer. His music was influenced by great rock and punk bands heard throughout the mid-Atlantic in his 20s and 30s, as well as by a good friend — a Beatles fan — who introduced him to his first chords on an acoustic guitar at age 16. Stephen currently writes all of his music and performs in the Charlottesville, Virginia, area.

Priced Out is a new punk band from Vancouver, releasing a debut ep “Four Songs”. These songs were written out of frustration and desperation at seeing how easily people tend to punch down and ignore their own best interests in the process. We are told to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps (which is a poor analogy, because that’s actually impossible), when what people really need is more opportunity. More support. More empathy. Instead, we get platitudes and entitlement from our leaders, who close doors instead of opening them. These songs are about being really damn angry about that.

The song was recorded at Kore Studios in London and the band’s own studio.

Club Silencio is a modern rock band from Canada. Their sound has been compared to the likes of Teenage Fanclub, The Strokes, and MGMT for their minimalist yet driving use of rhythm, infectious vocal harmony and melodies over heavily distorted guitar leads and rolling arpeggios.
