Vote for an Underdog!
I don't often do this but a very good friend of mine (Tim Crompton) and his band (The Highwire) are being promoted on BBC Radio 2. He's been shortlisted in the 'Pick 'n Mix' competition but he's up against MGTM who are signed to Sony. Tim embodies the true spirit of a musical artist looking for a lucky break. He's suffered several setbacks during the last few years but he's doggedly kept to his recording schedule and has just released a new album.
You can listen to his material HERE.
Please vote for him by emailing BBC Radio 2 and voting for 'The Highwire - Easy'.
“… psych-pop soundscapes of a billowing expansiveness that recalls MBV, Spiritualized and Mercury Rev at their most abundant … if you’re looking for the album to soundtrack your spring and summer escapism, Ahead of the Rain is it.” Sunday Times, Breaking Act March 30 2008
“… lusciously woozy affair, recalling the hazy, narcotic ballads of US dream-popsters Galaxie 500…potent stuff…” Q
" MBV - meets - Mercury Rev... gorgeous..." Uncut
“…The High Wire’s debut is full of such glimmering, sun-kissed guitar pop that it’ll banish the blues in an instant.” NME
“…a wistful dream of a record…” Clash
“Soft, Shoegazerish bliss…” The Guardian
