NORTHSTAR - Our 2 Piece shenanigans

What's Hot
DazzaDazza Frets: 90
in Plug My Stuff
Hi Folks, this is our labour of love, Northstar, Jez and I (Acoustic and singing Jez, guitar and jangles me). We did this EP a little while ago but generally we are out doing open mics and gigs. I tend to go big ethereal sound when we play live and gives it a bigger feel being just 2 of us. Anyways, thought I’d share with you all. Daz

    Wow.  That's great.  I get real Echo and the Bunnymen vibes from that.  On my doorstep too - great stuff.

    Hey thanks mate, much appreciated! Good to meet you, I’m over in Kirby, started up open mics again in Keyham if you fancy it at any point?

    Excellent writing, arranging, playing and recording. Nice work! Jez has a great voice and I’m sure I can hear hints of Bowie there.

    Is that a Jazzmaster you are playing on the outro of the first track? Sounds really good.

    I've only just seen this, but what a nice find. I can only repeat what's already been said: great work on all the aspects here, music, words, performance and production. Good luck with the gigs, and hopefully you'll see a return on the hard work ;-)

    Hey man, really appreciate the message! Open mics and a couple of gigs in recent months so getting back to it. We did those a couple of years ago now and have a ton of stuff to record so looking forward to that, cheers!

    Enjoyed that, definitely getting a Echo and the Bunny Men vibe but is it's own thing also

    @thecolourbox Appreciated! Nice to have a hint of the Bunny men, although I was channeling Charlie Burchill on Ghost Within My Heart so Simple Minds not too far off - Thanks!

    I think it's the singer's voice which gives the Bunnymen vibe, I only really know one song by them (The Killing Moon which was in Donnie Darko) and there's just a couple of stylistic things that reminds me of that

    That's wonderful Dazza. Sharp songwriting and lovely, spacious, reverberating sound; definitely true to your influences. Is that the sound of a pumped up shimmer verb on Ghost within my Heart? (And I can see why the singer has evoked the spirit of Ian McCulloch on that song for one of the comments).

    You're a bit far away for me to come and see you live, but reckon I'd buy an LP of your stuff.

    @Peter_K_ Well deduced my friend and thank you - although I’ve probably added more reverb and shimmer since we recorded that - kind words, when we get the new stuff sorted I’ll let you know!
