Frazer Spooner

          Hailing from Sheffield, England, Frazer Spooner trades in his metal background for a more indie-folk styled sound compounded by descriptive, storytelling lyrics.  Having played music from a young age, Spooner now strives to attain a working ability play a great multitude of instruments, so that he can record his own music independently.  Yes, that's right, he records every instrument and the vocals entirely by himself, thus granting his music an affinity for the complex layering that comes from long hours in the studio trying to figure out how a violin or mandolin can fit into mix.  Having released his first full-length project Only After Dark: A Short Story, I can't help but find myself excitedly waiting for the next.

Interview - Levingstone

          Music is one of my passions and one that I know will be shared by many of you.  I listen to all kinds of genres and especially to musical artists who are either not very mainstream, not widely known, or both.  Through my interviews, I hope you’ll join me on this musical odyssey of not only listening but learning about the music from the artists who love what they do, who are original, who are unique and who take you outside your own environments and give you a different global perspective.

          This week, I caught up with Sammi Su of Levingstone to discuss his music and his life as a musician.

Levingstone

          Another band that falls into what seems to be a growing neo-soul/jazz fusion movement in Australia, Levingstone brings together diverse aspects of music to form a coherent style that resonates well.  Coming from Sydney, the group attributes its style to the diverse musical tastes of its members, Sammii Su (Vocals), Jesse Johnston (Guitar), Dominic Cabusi (Bass), Chris Dutton (Keys), and Ryan Mooney (Drums).  Their long-awaited debut EP Modern Burials serves as a testament to their musical ability, creativity, and introspective nature as the collection of songs circle around the modern phenomenon of societal isolation.

Bredd

          Italian (Massa Lubrense, Italy) singer/songwriter Raffaele Pane (Bredd) comes to us with his debut EP, An End For All. Having grown up surrounded by music and, by the age of 18, having studied several instruments, Bredd brings skillful compositions and engaging songwriting to the ever-growing music scene.  With influences spanning from Robbie Williams to Foo Fighters, it is unsurprising that his first release combines elements of pop-rock with a harder, more gritty sound.
