Breaking from SOIWT’s normal musicians focus, here’s a new-music initiative well worth knowing about:
Future Sound Share is a London-based project dedicated to supporting new and emerging artists. It plays their music to lucky online visitors; bands and artists keen to appear can send in their demos or singles (details here) for consideration. Currently it’s just on Facebook, but a devoted website will soon follow.
Says founder David J. Houston: “I started Future Sound Share because of a passion for new music that started in my early teens. It progressed to me dropping regular email send-outs about new bands and now into a blog where I can reach a wider audience. It’s what I do in every spare second after work and weekends because I love it.” He might as well be talking at me, and why I began SOIWT, so apt is it.
As of next month, Future Sound Share will curate showcase gigs too. The first-ever one takes place on 17 February in Buffalo Bar, beside Highbury & Islington tube. It’ll star five of the best bands to feature on Future Sound Share, including London act Gaoler’s Daughter, who SOIWT has previously eulogised about here (Angry Eyes mp3). More on each band over on Facebook.
