All hail Tuesday afternoon, a time for a tea break and a chance to unveil some more really great music on the blog.
I'm once again playing catch up - but today, happy to be bringing you another stellar review from my compadre theexistentialist, who has put down his tea mug to put finger to keyboard and bring you a feature on another brilliant act from my friends at PinDrop Publicity, The Dreaming Spires. I hope you'll agree that they're as good as we say they are.

The Dreaming Spires – All Kinds of People
Back in the day, when thegeneral and I were kids, a coveted slot on TV meant an appearance on Top Of The Pops. Well, TOTP has gone. But, The Dreaming Spires have gone one better… they’ve had an appearance on BBC1’s The Andrew Marr Show! Get yourself over to this link to see them performing live on Sunday 7th June on said weekend programmage:
Further information on the band can be found here:
Their Twitterz, Facebookz, Soundcloudz and websitez:
Their performance on Andrew Marr is utterly superb, and totally justifies Marr’s introduction of them as “one of the best live bands in the country” – a truly brilliant live performance. The Dreaming Spires open their live performance of All Kinds of People with a fabulous, pounding bass line. This is a song that is chock-full of wonderful, chunky 60s guitar riffs. They are a band that owe a lot to the BritPop of the 90s. But they are not merely derivative, and embody all the best bits of the 60s nostalgia that provided the basis for the genre that me and thegeneral grew up with, and leave aside any of the more run-of-mill bits. You definitely do need All Kinds of People on your current play list, or a playlist of “the best live bands in the country as recommended by Andrew Marr"
You can find a link to buy the band's second album "Searching For The Supertruth" below and the single itself will be released on 10th July - review of the album will follow very soon:
