Rubric :The Game
Pre-order from Amazon, Itunes pre-order coming soon.

Launch gig at The Ivy House, Worcester Terrace, Sunderland on the 1st November, support from The John Doe Experiment, and Alex Saxon & Jack Foster.

This is going to be a great gig, I was in rehearsals with Rubric recently and they blew me away with their musical skills, clever but very cool.

 Rubric is an original blues/jazz fusion band formed in the North of England in 2011.

 They describe themselves as a "musical democracy" consisting of Chris Binding on vocals and guitar, Andrew Bell on guitar, Rob Caroll on bass and Helen Whitford on drums. The entire band have had a hand in creating the songs on The Game. Influences from prog rock, metal, jazz, blues and classical all play a part in The Game. The band's members collaborate to create music that is technical but not self-indulgent and with a fun generic slant.


 The title track is an ode to the infinite game between the sexes, a funked up jazzy number that  gets you moving from your seat unless, of course you have a deactivated groove gland.

 The kinetic lyrics continue in the rockier Throw The First Stone,  inspired by a eccentric friend who just didn't care what the world expected of him.  is no less funky, and promises to be a very enjoyable live track. 

 Dead Things is a song from the point of view of an apocalyptic Earth complaining in a high energy bluesy manner about the failings of its inhabitants. 

 A Matter of Rapport  has a touch of metal, with prog rock tendencies and some great guitar work before it just stops, no fade. This is a tasty portion of what could be a great album. You want more? Rubric are busy writing and will be shortly back in the studio. 


I hope you enjoy this EP as much as we are still enjoying it at Jowheretogo PR.

 Advertisment Shambolics KU, Stockton Saturday 13 May 2023 Tickets: https://tinyurl.com/SHAMBOLICSku Stockton’s KU are once again bringing one of the UK’s most exciting new live acts to the region with a show from indie-pop four-piece Shambolics on May 13th. The Alan McGee endorsed band are signed to his Creation23 label and have recently released their latest EP, Take It Or Leave It, while the single of the same name blends Britpop influences with 80s grooves into something to both sing and dance along to. Having only formed in 2017, Shambolics’ debut single, Chasing A Disaster, went straight to number 2 in the UK Official Vinyl Chart and then just before lockdown the band played their biggest show to date, selling out St. Lukes in Glasgow. Then, taking advantage of the enforced break the band relocated to Glasgow and hooked up with producer Chris Marshall. Shambolics’ more recent work is grittier and more honest while maintaining the melodies and upbeat disposition they we

  A Man Called Adam - Legendary North-East Electronic Duo Announce New Album: ‘the Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’ Released Digitally: 26 May 2023 // Vinyl: 21 July via Other Records #ad Amazon Link: https://amzn.to/4230kBK   A MAN CALLED ADAM have announced a brand new album ‘The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’.   An album about Teesside and the wild coastal and industrial landscapes where the band’s Sally Rodgers grew up, the album will be released digitally on 26 May (via Other Records). The announcement arrives as the duo also share its title-track today.  Their first new album since 2019’s ‘Farmarama’, ‘The Girl With A Hole In Her Heart’ is a Balearic record, though not one that’s inspired by those fabled Iberian sun-kissed beaches that stretch on forever and sunsets that stop you in your tracks. Rather, it’s a House record made for all night dancing in a decommissioned steelwork. It’s an ambient record that strolls a windswept coastline where lime-grass dunes rise and fall like slu

"It Started With A Cracked Screen" Do your research about where NOT to go to get your phone or computer fixed #consumer #tech #mobilephone #repairs

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema
