This is a great album I discovered from a little studio band from Northern Ireland called NEVERWAS. I was hunting through reverbnation.com and myspace looking for some good new music from unsigned bands and these guys really caught my attention -- great melodies, interesting arrangements but most of all, a great, eclectic bunch of songs. I contacted the guy behind it all -- Andy Ferguson -- and said that I thought their music should reach a wider audience through youtube. He said they were only really making music for the love of it and didn't expect too many people to listen, but I convinced him to agree to let me post what they have done so far (for a limited time) to see if anyone is interested. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!!
Here's the tracklist:
Welcome To My World (an upbeat pop/rock song)
All I Know (Is You Should Be Here With Me) (laid back, with great guitar in the middle!)
Strong (piano based tune, interesting melody)
Something Happens (classic summer song, great arrangement)
We Both Know (think smoky London jazz club in the 1960's. Superb piano motif, really stripped back arrangement and brilliant moody guitar)
Down That Road Again (Brilliant, simple song with guitar and vocal. This could easily be on a Will Young album)
Should I Tell You (classic love song with vocal and acoustic guitars)
Now You're Gone (amazing, bittersweet song with shared vocal and superb melody)
Mirror Image (a bit of 80's sounding synth pop. Doesn't work as well as the other songs, but still a good tune)
Summer Says (this is the basic, unfinished guitar and vocal demo -- needs drums, bass guitar and other instruments. Should sound great when its finished!)
