Kid Adrift Live Dates & Debut EP Oxytocin launch

Welcome to the world of Kid Adrift. The Oxytocin EP is a personal manifesto from Iain Campbell, the brains behind the Kid Adrift project. It’s passionate, intense, and is set to establish him as a rare talent in 2010. With a demo of ‘Red, Green and Blue’ being picked up on radio last year, so far it has seen plays all over Radio 1, with Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Fearne Cotton and Rob da Bank, as well as featuring on BBC Introducing. Ambitious and creative in equal measure, live the band is a four-piece, and sure to become an essential live band in the coming months. ‘Oxytocin’ is a guitar led, with more brutal beats and waves of dense electronic waves whilst synthesized strings and mechanical beats bring the song to a thrilling crescendo.‘Crash Therapy’ hits with a wall of electronica, heavy and propulsive. With clear nods to Warp Records, its testament to Kid Adrift that this is very much his own work, a new unique voice for music fans to discover. ‘Static’ illustrates the dance influences that infuse the band’s sound. Very atmospheric, it shines yet more light into the musical world of Kid Adrift.

CHORDS, RIFFS, TABS AND TURN-AROUNDS

Gospel, Jazz, Folk, Country, Rock, Soul, B-Bop, Funk, Rhythm & Blues, Punk and Pop, it all came "Out of the Blues" . On the Focus Music page we aim to take a look at the journey popular music has made through the decades with links to influential artists of each era. Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday and original Blues men including Robert Johnson, Edward Son House, Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt made their way north from the American deep South and brought the "Blues" to a wider American audience. This in turn lead to the birth of "Rock and Roll" in the 50s with artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. "The Beatles" were inspired by the great guitar riffs of Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry and Little Richard's soulful sound and "Rhythm and Blues" burst onto the UK music scene in the 60s spawning the "Mersey Beat Sound" and "Beatlemania" and the rest they say is Hi...

With the excitement surrounding the release on Florence + The Machine’s second album reaching fever pitch, here’s ‘Shake It Out’ - the massive lead single to be taken from ‘Ceremonials’ . Where ‘What The Water Gave Me’ dramatically played out like an ode to the ocean and is magnificent powers, ‘Shake It Out’ incites a desire to jump up and dance fervently, shaking off the shackles of a persistent mood, feeling or indeed hangover, as, she points out, “it’s hard the dance with the devil on your back so shake it out”.
