Junior Turner



The next submission is yet another one from the United Kingdom and he goes by the name of Junior Turner. Junior Turner has quite a story. He was catapulted into national fame in the UK when his cover for the song, "The Impossible Dream" gained people's attention. His music has a very positive message with some of the most purest sounding Soul & R&B grooves that I've heard in a long time. Junior Turner's music was selected out of 111,000 applicants to be the choice winner for the "BBC Children In Need" competition and his song, "Say Goodbye" was used for the war veteran's charity, "Hope For Heroes". The message of love in his music seems to manage to find itself being properly distributed to those that may appreciate it the most. This is music that everyone can, and should enjoy. To hear and learn more about Junior Turner's music and the man himself, go to:WWW.JUNIORTURNER.CO.UK or twitter @juniorturner84. Junior Turner's music can also be found on ITunes, Amazon.com and Google Play, as well. Cheers!

Monks of Mellonwah - Ghost Stories

Monks of Mellonwah is an alternative/indie rock group from Sydney Australia. Their video submission is for the song "Ghost Stories". It's a good sound coming from these guys. Their sound falls into step with what you would expect from anyone that calls themselves "indie" or "alternative". This is music that'll wake you up and get you moving. High tempo drums with heavy electric guitar riffs that suddenly downshift into slow melodies and then back to thrashing again. These guys are very radio friendly. I could see their music being in heavy rotation on any rock station. The Monks of Mellonwah are well produced, young, they sound great and they're puttin' in work. How could you deny these guys? Kudos to The Monks of Mellonwah from Sydney Australia for their great video submission. For more info on The Monks of Mellonwah, go to: monksofmellonwah.bandcamp.com
