The Redlands Palomino Company is a UK country rock band, described by the Guardian newspaper as “Alt-country heroes” and BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris as “Exceptional”. The Sun newspaper said the band “prove that you don’t have to be American to do great country rock”. Next month they release their fourth full length album, Broken Carelessly, and it is a real cracker.

Much-loved UK band Case Hardin, fronted by enigmatic songwriter and vocalist Pete Gow, released their third studio album, PM, on Clubhouse Records last August. A follow up to the acclaimed Every Dirty Mirror released in 2011, PM delivers nine original tracks written by Gow that focus on the lives of dark, troubled souls, whose aspirations have been compromised, either by their own choices or by circumstance. Pitching Gow as narrator, a voice for the underbelly of a corner of society too often ignored.
