Sniffing out the best new music
Episode eleven of The Sound Sniffer's Mixtape is here - running a lot thinner on top submissions this morning. I've managed to wrangle three worthwhile songs and I'm fairly sure you will like them. Might take a few days off to re-group and gather more songs, it's a slow period of the year, quality is... Continue Reading →
I was a bit late drafting up today's mixtape - a mixture of excercise and cooking has pushed me off schedule today. A couple of nights ago, I enlisted the help of a couple of facebook music groups, asking them for submissions - I received over six hundred responses. Hopefully I'll be able to unearth...

After yesterday's Outlaw Ocean selections, The Sound Sniffer's Lockdown Mixtape returns for episode six. After a fine weekend weather wise, the heavens finally opened again last night, dampening the surface and probably people's spirits too. I assembled this list whilst looking out my window at the cars splashing by - I tucked in beside the... Continue Reading →
After an extended break away from the blogging side of things, The Sound Sniffer returns with a list of some of the songs that have stood out over the last couple of months. The submissions inbox raced past ten thousand submissions in September and although I haven't been sharing much recently, plenty of stuff is... Continue Reading →
Evening all, thankfully I'm back behind the keyboard again on 'The Sound Sniffer' after a tough month. September 2020 will always be remembered as 'the tough month'. I'm delighted to sink back into another super interview again and get back on the horse. God I've missed the writing! At the very start of the month,... Continue Reading →
I didn't get around to sharing my weekly list last week - I've got to make up for it now. There have been some great things floating around of late, mainly because artists are now starting to find their feet again slowly after a strangely turbulent few months. Singles that were delayed due to Covid-19... Continue Reading →
Last year, Erik Brudvik made a bold leap and jumped ship on a career in finance. He decided to leave London and flew across the Atlantic to pursue new beginnings in New York City. Armed with a bag of supplies and a hard-drive filled with his musical snippets, he knocked on the door of Sear... Continue Reading →
Samuel Nicholson is a Scottish songwriter who has been plying his trade on the London live circuit recently (often found at Sam Bowcher's wonderful intimate BARK gigs). His music found my ears last year, on the back of a trusty recommendation from fellow Scottish singer Niamh Downes (Neev). Ballroom was the first song to get... Continue Reading →
It's still quite overcast and dreary around the city of London, I'm sitting at my desk, still in my socks and haven't even ventured outside yet. I'm in a folk-y mood and luckily enough, two great UK-Based Folk tunes have been released this morning. The first comes from Scottish singer/songwriter Tommy Ashby and the second...

After my little break from writing reviews, the work behind the scenes hasn't stopped. I've been busy digging ditches in the garden, answering submissions and fixing some important SEO things for the site. Last week, it was a real struggle finding tunes to get behind. The unprecedented lockdown saw the rise of new musicians making... Continue Reading →
