Winston's Zen

THE PLAYLIST THAT BRINGS INNER PEACE...

It's been a long time since there was a playlist round these parts, I know. But, even if I say so myself, I think Vol 5 has been well worth the wait.

Ten Zen-filled tracks from ten hot new bands you might not have come across yet but who all deserve a nice thick slice of your attention pie. Largely as a result of the drive to find acts to be part of our Zen-trifuge gig nights, Volume 5 has a distinctly British vibe going on, the overseas contingent uncommonly numbering just one.

As ever if you like something you hear, please buy a CD or ticket for show, tell your friends and spread the word. And feel free to leave your comments below.

These tracks will be removed in four weeks.

Enjoy;

Track 2 - Turrentine Jones - Della May

This Manchester trio have taken Zen towers by storm. If you haven't already, rush off now and download their EP An Empty Bottle Called Desire.

Track 4 - Twin Berlin - Kill This Low

Somewhere between the energy of the Killers (circa Mr Brightside) and the dirty fuzz of the Strokes lie NYC's Twin Berlin.

Track 8 - Carter Brown - (Ha Ha) Too Little Too Late

Driving bass, screaming vocals and a rythym rough enough to jack-knife an eighteen wheeler. What more can ears ask for?

Track 10 - Big Num - I'm Going Home

With the riffs of a classic rock monster and a snarl to match any of their contempararies, Big Num are loud, in your face and have bags of potential.
