Few new releases from this week. First up a band my son really likes doing a great cover of a Pulp song recorded separately during lockdown.

Desperate Journalist - The Fear (Pulp cover)

They were excellent at Twisterella and the last album had some crackers on it.

Amanda Shires: “The Problem (feat. Jason Isbell)”

Click to expand...
Anything "feat. Jason Isbell" is worth a listen (AS is Mrs Isbell for those who don't know) watched the tail end of Jools Holland on Friday interviewing Robert "Percy" Plant at the end of the interview he raved about Jason Isbell's songwriting and played 24 Frames from his album "Something More Than Free" if there is a better songwriter working in any genre today I'd be amazed. Check him out.
 
Teesside's own Tom Joshua - Undergrowth EP out on Friday - Produced by "celebrated pop producer" Cam Blackwood (George Ezra, Billie Marten, British Sea Power) - this is counted as Teesside Tom's first official release.
I have put together a write-up based on the big promotion he is rightly getting for this 4 track release.
MY PREVIEW
 
This is excellent Tyler Childers - Long Violent History


Here is the write up from Paste and the message Tyler felt need to give regarding his album/music.

As his career in country music has taken off over the past few years, Kentucky-born-and-bred singer/songwriter Tyler Childers has proven to be a bit of a tough nut to crack. On his two excellent first albums—2017’s Purgatory and 2019’s Country Squire—Childers sings eloquently about drinking and drugs, making music, missing his woman, raising hell and living the hillbilly lifestyle. He’s a top-shelf storyteller, but if you’re looking for lyrics that reveal how he feels about certain issues or current events, you’re out of luck. All of this is perfectly fine, of course. There is no rule that Childers must express his opinions through song or dance around on stage to prove he’s having fun. His style is his style, and it has worked well for him as he has quickly built a sizable nationwide fanbase of people who connect with his authentic twang, working-class anthems and credible perspective on life in the rural American South. But even Childers is done playing it close to the vest after the year we’ve had. It’s not immediately obvious on his new album Long Violent History—surprise-released on Sept. 18—but to ensure absolutely no one misses the main point, Childers released a six-minute-long video along with the album to act as an introduction to the work

Yeah, this is good, as were Knock on a Hollow and Cinema earlier this year. I can't see that he has ever released 'I think your eyes look nice', which is probably my favourite song of his. Hopefully it is on this EP.

I was just looking but I haven't been given a track listing at all - so I guess we will all find out on Friday.

New to me, this fella, but that is a really good introduction video you've linked to. I respect him already and I haven't even listened to any of his stuff. He has pre-disposed me to like his work though.
