    Martial Arts, Poesie and Isaac Neilson with an UNBELIEVEABLE musical challenge.

    Lock in, volume up, let's get lost in a world of new music with another three brilliant acts on this latest episode of Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast. Jim Salveson is behind the mic as he catches up with this weeks artists... Martial Arts: Hot new Manchester band... that we're formed on a bus but are now one of the most promising acts in the North West. Music with a punk attitude but a indie pop heart where rage is wrapped up in catchy melodies and crunchy guitar hooks - one for fans of The Cribs! Poesie: For fans of Madonna, Florence and The Machine and Kate Bush, Poesie has an ear as much for the theatric as she does for a catch hook. The latest EP is a more confident and self assured version of what has come before. Isaac Neilson: A singer/songwriter making headlines for his attempt to play a gig everyday in 2026... but one who's music should not be ignored. Creative storytelling with clever musical flourishes are central to Isaac's sound that translates brilliantly from studio recording to open mic! Other useful links...

    Embrace, McGrath and Pihka Is My Name x IanGX all with new music!

    Ready for a musical journey! All three of this weeks featured acts have very different musical styles but all have one thing in common, they're bloody awesome. Switch on, lock in, this is some of the good stuff... Embrace: 30 years making music has not dulled the flame for Embrace. ‘Avalanche’ is an album brimming with a confidence that only 3 decades of mastery can bring. It somehow manages to push the bands sound to a fresh new place whilst being quintessentially “Embrace” at the same time. McGrath: Stunning songwriting with a traditional Irish heart its almost impossible to think that 'Rotha', given how accomplished it is, is the debut song from this young talent. It's got us suitably excited about what is to come. Pihka Is My Name x IanGX: Pinka's scandi disco pop layers brilliantly with the rock-inspired vocals of IanGX (Katalina Kicks / Amongst Liars) to create something somewhere between Talking Heads, Marilyn Manson and 30 Seconds To Mars. Ridiculously infectious and a tune to whet the appetite for further collaborations! Other useful links... Find and follow Freshly Squeezed on X, Instagram and Tik Tok.

  3. The Gulps, Untold River and Reverend and the Makers

    The Gulps, Untold River and Reverend and the Makers

    One podcast, three bands... we go again! Jim Salveson is back to introduce you to some awesome new music. This week it includes a band backed by a A&R legend, a great act trying something new stateside and ACTUAL INDIE ROCK ROYALTY. Here's what's on the pod... Rev and Makers: The latest offering from Jon McClure is a record that sounds both confident in its songwriting ability and comfortable in its own skin. The Rev is turning up the Northern Soul inspiration for new album ‘Is This How Happiness Feels’ and the result is a stand out LP from the bands 20 years making music. The Gulps: European punk rock with a very UK sound. It’s easy to see why Mr Oasis, Alan McGee has chosen to back The Gulps and signed them to his Label, It’s Creation Baby. Mixing spikey punk vibes with strong melody in a way that is reminiscent of The Buzzcocks, ‘Got Ya’ is a tune you’ll struggle to sit still to! Untold River: Combining the heart of England’s North West with the sounds of the US, Untold River pays tribute to his old and new homes with “Tragedy on Market Street” revealing some clever songwriting and brilliant musicianship.

  4. MOSAICS, Asgard Raven and James Holt bring the new tunes!

    May 18

    MOSAICS, Asgard Raven and James Holt bring the new tunes!

    James Holt: The best songwriter you've (probably) never heard of! James is swapping Beatles-esq harmonies for a heavier, Doors-esq, almost psychedelic sound for his new project and 'Sanguine On The Rocks' proves he's equally accomplished in either form. MOSAICS: Leaning into a classic late 00s indie vibe, MOSAICS layer big vocals, bright guitars along with a juxtaposed lyrical dread. "Heaven Knows" is taken from a triumphant debutEP from the London 4 piece. Asgard Raven: Developing his Brit-pop inspired sound into something more complex, mature and maybe even psychedelic, Asgard Raven is back after a brief musical hiatus and music is a better place for it.

Hit play and another new music showcase will introduce you to three great artists that COULD become your next favourite band. This week Jim chats too... SHADER: Another song with swagger from Stoke's leading exporter of Indie Rock. A slight classic rock twist to the latest from SHADER that showcases what they do best; Big, stadium ready, anthems! Felix Hill: Having spent time recently writing with Liam Gallagher's drummer, the latest release is close to something from the songbook of Guy Garvey for Bolton's Felix Hill. 'Comfortable Silence' showcases his unique and captivating singing style perfectly. Know One: It's a bold new musical direction for Jacob Reddy as he dips a toe in the emo rock pool and smashes it first try with a big, emotive and accomplished anthem. Other useful links...

    New tunes from Adult Leisure and Feral Family whilst Frances Murray celebrates a new album!

    Did you hear? Freshly Squeezed has been nominated for an Audio Academy ARIA award, which is like an audio version of the Oscars (no doubt more on that in this week's podcast). BUT, you're not here to hear about that, you're here to hear some brand new music. That's exactly what we've got... Frances Murray: Shaking off the musical constraints of her previous incarnation, Blab, Frances Murray goes on a poetic and nostalgic journey with her new tune 'Holiday The Sea' and accompanying debut album 'Dreamer'. Adult Leisure: Living somewhere between Tears for Fears and Joy Division, Adult Leisure's 80s-tinged new tune 'The Light You Attract' plays beautifully with the juxtaposition of light and dark. Fresh back from SXSW and with an album of new music to share with the world. Feral Family: Tense and dramatic, Feral Family's refreshingly raw sound drives along brand new tune 'The River' with a bass riff that wouldn't sound out of place on a QOTSA record.
