SUNSET SONS Release New Single "Running Man"
Sunset Sons are sharing "Running Man", their much-anticipated new single and first music since the release of the trio’s 2016 UK Top 30 debut album "Very Rarely Say Die". Produced by MPG UK Producer of the Year Catherine Marks (The Big Moon, Foals), "Running Man" is the first track to emerge from the band’s forthcoming new EP "The River", due out on July 6 2018 via LAB Records (home to Now, Now and Hockey Dad). Sunset Sons will headline London’s Electrowerkz on July 3 2018. Listen to "Running Man" HERE.
Speaking about the irrepressible "Running Man", Sunset Sons' Rory Williams' says; "This track is our story of the band. The need and want at times to go home when shit hits the fan, but you don’t. Missing your friends and family, but pursuing your love no matter how hard it can be at times ... Sticking to your guns even if everyone around you thinks you're mental. Sometimes it’s easier to go back but forwards is all we know...."
So whilst the soaring chorus of this new release might ask the question "How long will I be a running man?", you sense that their unstoppable momentum will be carrying Sunset Sons further forwards, upwards and away from Hossegor for some time yet....
TOUR DATES:
3 July LONDON Electrowerkz

Sky Orchid - The River
A brotherly duo, whose time together for the past decade has been by playing music. Hence forth, by playing said music, which would be alternative and form the band called Sky Orchid. Having the duo of brothers release an EP called "Oculus Vol. 1" with the track made single called "The River".
Now 'The River" title has come up across my radar beforehand, but not by Sky Orchid but by pop punk rockers Good Charlotte with their rendition of a song using the same title that is 'The River". Their song featuring two guests M. Shadows and Synster Gates of Avenged Sevenfold, the track being released 10 years ago this year, in 2007. How time flies when music continues to rotate am I right? Okay then, so while their track is not really like "The River" by Sky Orchid, the two track titles share the namesake in common, while the sound style is slight in some factors of focus here.
In terms of the sound as said, the style between the two sounds of the different tracks is very similar in slightness. As both tracks have an alternative essence going for them. Sky Orchid's version is very laid back, yet easy listening and very energetic. The tone of the sound is very catchy and rather upbeat, never missing a beat, but keeping it continually passionate and over flowing with momentum. In other words, it is a track that just sticks. One that you will adjust to and find comfort in, that will make you pleased and entertained from start to finish.
But while the track is entertaining and highly comforting to the ear, the track has an accompanying video that is quite nice. It is simple and that is just fine, because it demonstrates the two brothers: Gabriel and Daniel Traknyak together, showcasing their performance tactics, as musicians do best, play and do it proud and loud! That said, the video's concept of the brothers not only playing together, but having a story revolving around a guy and girl driving about, in this city, supposedly trying to find one another throughout the video, never doing so because something happens. Is very emotional at times but that's how music works, it grips into you and gets you nonetheless.
In other words, "The River", in both song and video sources, are both touching and very meaningful. Sky Orchid being a band that is as many people have said across the net, "sick" and "this is so good" because it is. Their take on alternative music is vibrant and alive, so modernized and complete it works so well. Surely their style is in similar fashion to that of Good Charlotte's "The River" from 2007, but Sky Orchid's style of song with the same name, is more unique and so them.
It is because of this, that Sky Orchid's music is still around and continuing to develop and expand as it is. Best way and only way that brothers such as these can work together, to keep the music together and in check. Merely how it worked out and it do so very nicely.

The Jason Gisser Band - The River
Many more, is the best way to describe an act such as The Jason Gisser Band. Who have done a lot if not more, many more as they tend to use that term a bit. That said, they have gone on to play shows, including sold out one's, as well as a number of festivals, tours, and then some. Many more things to come from them, including a recent release in the form of an EP titled "The River".
A simple release, consisting of 2 tracks in all, as opposed to a number of tracks but again The Jason Gisser Band prefers to keep it simple. The EP kicks things off with the title track, an acoustic electric take of the soul rock genre, so think country meets rock with some soul influence, and that is what you get with this delivery of said track. Next up is the follow-up track called "Monster". Now this track is a lot like the previous track, except it is more soul rock based, having lots of harmony, emotion, and passion thrown together to create true feeling. Which is what you can hear within the vocal and instrumentals provided. All of which, really play off one another, and do it well and willingly enough. The two tracks really just groove together off one another, to sound downright fun and upbeat yet highly entertaining if at that.
All in all though The Jason Gisser Band is one of those acts, who has got a lot going on, with many more activities and a series of events on the horizon to boot. Surely fans of hard rock, soft rock, as well as country rock, will dig up these guys, because they are one groovy moving act to follow.
