JULIETTE ASHBY'S 2017 UK TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

Juliette Ashby 2017 tour | Explore the world of music with news and updates from top independent (indie), unsigned, upcoming, emerging and underground artists, bands and record labels gaining publicity fast around the world daily.

Best friends with the late Amy Winehouse, Juliette Ashby possesses the same uniqueness and soul that many artists strive for. The esteemed London, UK singer songwriter has been closely watched by music industry insiders since she made her debut with the release of the single, Over & Over back in June of 2014. The single was released to critical acclaim as fans and critics were awakened to a brand new reggae sound. Juliette's distinctive and elegant blend of reggae, pop and R&B brought a whole new dimension to the genre and instantly created a whole new fan base of listeners drawn to her softer, less aggressive, soulful reggae vibe.

She quickly became one of London's favorite reggae acts and news about her spread quickly across the country. Since then Juliette has enjoyed the attention of local and national press, hosted gigs all over the UK, shared the stage with world reknowned acts and featured at popular national and international music festivals. With the release of her debut EP, bearing the same title "Over & Over", she went on to further wow fans with several other groundbreaking reggae records including the single "Like A Bass Guitar", another sensational track that got the favor of many top UK DJs and radio stations.

Juliette wasn't considered a newbie for very long in her career, if at all. Her originality, commanding stage presence and strong demeanor have all been key in her success and continue to play a big part in her career today. Her latest EP "Building Up The Strong", released in October 2016 was her biggest and most celebrated record to date and is still being talked about as she prepares for her recently announced UK univeristy tour which includes venues in Hertfordshire, London, Edinburgh, Worcester, Essex and a few other cities expected to be added soon. The tour begins on the 26th of May, with dates scheduled up till October.

M.O.B STARS - MAINTAINING OUR BROTHERS

Top news stories from artist/band public relations experts/representatives - M.O.B Stars

Paying homage and staying true to the Boom Bap era of hip hop, M.O.B Stars are a group of well-spoken, multi-talented, versatile and thorough rappers that pride themselves on originality, honesty and uncompromised creativity. They say what they feel and bring fresh new air to hip hop both collectively and individually through intelligent lyricism and innovative styles.


The New Jersey, US group, based in Paterson is made up of 4 members - Jochl, Taliban Triple, O.B and SaFE. In addition to creating and releasing music as a group, they also release solo projects. They've already made significant impacts on New Jersey's independent hip hop scene and each time they come back with a new release it's even bigger and better. Their first significant impact was back in November, 2010 when they released "II S.O.S", a massive 18 track album that spoke to the souls of hip hop fans locally and nationally. It featured a good number of emerging and established underground hip hop producers in the region and was consistent all the way through boasting old school hip hop sounds infused with fresh new elements. They quickly followed up with "M.O.B Stars Presents Spring Collection, Vol. 1.5" in August, 2011, an even bigger album with a whopping 29 tracks. They went on to release several other groundbreaking records which collectively secured them a place on New Jersey's independent hip hop scene as one of the top acts to watch.


Another milestone for the group was the release of SaFE's debut solo project, "Dead Duck" which was released back in June, 2015 and still has fans raving. The project loosely chronicles SaFE's creative development and covers topics such as body image, the Reptilian conspiracy, abortion, domestic violence, courtship and matriarchal religions, among other things. SaFE articulates over soulful beats of differing moods and intensities. His lyrics are mindful and his rhyming style is calculated and poetic. Dead Duck is the overall depiction of the urbanite's experience through rhyme. It features production by Arkutec, CJ Beatz, Bravestarr and Superstar O, among others and is available to download on iTunes, Amazon mp3, Google Play Music and other major digital music stores.

A FITTING TRIBUTE TO ENGLAND'S WOMEN'S FOOTBALL TEAM

Kendow's tribute song | Find out what's happening on independent music markets around the world, discover underground artists/bands gaining publicity and listen to new music free online or on popular music download/discovery apps


England's women's national football team has received a lot of praise and support for their efforts and achievements over the years and are quickly gaining popularity at a rate that could see their games being followed as closely as the male football team's in the near future. So of course they'll need a fresh, new theme song to help fans celebrate the team's new milestones and to rejoice with everytime they step onto the pitch. Something unique and uplifting. Something that says Girl Power! but something that also speaks with an unquestionable tone of equality. Something that'd get fans excited and cheering but also pump the team up with energy and determination without stroking their egos too much. Something catchy and edgy with mindful lyrics to ensure the players keep their focus. And now, thanks to Kendow they have just that, and a little more - a sensational, infectious, electrifying pop song with their name literally written all over it - groovy, uplifting, exciting, anthemic, elegant, and soulful with a refreshing, organic feel and a tribute fit for a queen.

Hailing from Slough, United Kingdom, Kendow is an emerging independent songwriter and party pop artist who has been writing and producing for only a few years now but already has a music catalog to be proud of. He plays the guitar and keyboard and is very passionate about perfecting his unique sound, a vibrant blend of '90s dance pop and R&B infused with modern pop elements and a whole lot more added soul. He delivers a euphoric listening experience the music industry has been missing for a while now and every single one of his tracks is received with open arms by fans of all genres and ages. 

Kendow releases music independently under his own imprint, Exotica Records, a self run and managed record label.

The single, titled Lionesses Of England was released earlier this year and is available to stream and download on iTunes, CD Baby and other major digital music retailers. The official music video, which was released shortly after the single is available to watch on Kendow's YouTube channel and other popular music video channels.

CHASING RAINBOWS, TARA KYE

Canada | Discover new sounds, find out what's happening in the music industry, find new artists and bands, who's hot on music charts, what songs are trending and more daily on SRL Music News and PR - Tara Kye

Unmatched by any of British Columbia, Canada's independent classic rock acts, Tara Kye's sound is a sweet, organic blend of classic rock, metal and pop with a subtle operatic feel that'll take you places. 

TRUE stories, soothing piano melodies, gripping guitar rhythms, smooth grooves, wise words, comforting lyrics and a vast range of subject matters revolving around life's journeys and the importance of appreciating them are some of the pleasures of listening to Tara. From dark, ominous themes to love songs, she writes like she sings - graceful as a swan, and without a care in the world. Her latest EP, "Tortured Love", which features the self-titled single, "Tortured Love" and a host of fan favorites including "Beautiful Gangstas" and "Molten Metal" was released in February and received rave reviews from fans, who have been hooked since her very first releases. 

Starting off playing the saxophone as a child, Tara always wanted to play the piano and sing. She suffered from cancer as an adult but fought hard and recovered after 20 years. During her recovery, her parents bought her an electric piano which she learned to play over time, thanks to her teacher, John Dean, a Canadian singer and songwriter who she has collaborated with on many of her songs. Her passion for singing and songwriting was born and she hasn't looked back ever since.

Tara's new single, "Chasing Rainbows" was released on the 17th of March and is available to stream and download on iTunes, Deezer, Google Play, Amazon and other major digital music outlets.
