Freshly Squeezed is a podcast for new music lovers... a place where you can hear new sounds before anyone else and discover artists before they become the next big thing.
Jim Salveson will introduce you to three new indie/rock artists every week, play you new tracks and tell the stories behind them!
The Freshly Squeezed theme is used with permission from (the brilliant) Spin Klass.
Dead Poet Society, Part Time Model and The Memos with new music to share!
Here we gooooo! New music time and there are another brilliant three acts to get your ears around on the latest Freshly Squeezed podcast... three is, of course, the magic number.
Once you hit play here is what you are going to get...
Part Time Model (https://open.spotify.com/artist/4EU1OVl6EOKcbfLheKT0dN?si=-hVfjOAXS_WU8006KKNYRw): Some bands spend years searching for a sound. Leeds newcomers Part Time Model seem to have arrived with one already fully formed. Blending jazzy flourishes, psychedelic textures and a distinctly retro cool, their debut single Cut Off Point feels cinematic in the best possible way - An assured first statement from a band that already sound like they know exactly who they are.
The Memos: (https://open.spotify.com/artist/136FtLrTUTXGu7kMyZuzDw?si=t5Rr1mB9QnSjPMdEFZACTQ) The Memos, Heaven Takes Two is the sound of a band chasing to evolve rather than stand still. Their self-styled "2.0 era" leans into bigger emotions, sharper songwriting and a more focused creative vision, while retaining the indie sensibilities that turned heads in the first place.
Dead Poet Society: (https://open.spotify.com/artist/31M8EXHYtEqOqVb1X7JRVe?si=a852fa58f8f341e1) One of the most exciting rock bands operating on either side of the Atlantic right now. Dead Poet Society deal in massive riffs, relentless energy and controlled chaos! They're rapidly becoming impossible to ignore. If you like your rock loud, ambitious and unapologetically modern, get on board now.

Aderyn, Freida Star and Asylums frontman Luke Branch with his FIRST solo work!
Ready to dive into some awesome new music. Another 3 brilliant artists lined up for this weeks new music podcast - along with some exciting news about a new live show that is coming very soon to a town near you... as long as you live in or near Stockport!
But, in terms of what you care about now. Here's what Jim's put on the slate for this week's show...
Aderyn (https://open.spotify.com/artist/45iS2zKC0Ri3mFQOq5Ktk6?si=ZNFzJvGZReeo-JUkF4QzEQ): One of the most distinctive new voices emerging from Wales right now, Aderyn blends shimmering alternative pop with trip-hop inspired grooves and razor-sharp songwriting. There's a touch of Massive Attack in the beats, plenty of modern indie attitude, and a real confidence that shines throughout her new EP Hot Pink!
Luke Branch: (https://lukebranch.com) Best known as the frontman of cult indie-punks Asylums, Luke Branch's solo material feels anything but a one-man operation. Packed with huge, layered arrangements, psychedelic textures and punk rock urgency, his songs burst with creativity and ambition. Away from the band, Luke's freedom, ambition and imagination run wilds!
Frieda Star (https://open.spotify.com/artist/1JMWEpvYATKMPws7gX1cbg?si=IYETS0zKTiOSLiA5OxcdEA): Hailing from Wolverhampton, Frida Star deliver fuzzy, distortion-soaked indie rock with one foot firmly planted in working-class Britain. Drawing comparisons to The Strokes and the garage rock revival that followed, their sound combines swaggering riffs, relentless energy and infectious hooks.
Come along to the first EVER Freshly Squeezed LIVE at Bask in Stockport on 22nd October.

Radio Free Alice, The Love Buzz and Camens are back with long awaited new music!
Some VERY exciting bands pop up on this weeks offering of new music via the Freshly Squeezed podcast.
Jim Salveson is in the hot seat again, this week chatting too:
The Love Buzz (https://open.spotify.com/artist/103TWTu6vxVZ9g6eqA1ntP?si=TsQ3BiuyS9Swew47X_c-IQ): Despite a name that suggests glitterballs and 70s disco, The Love Buzz deal in something far grittier. Their sound sits somewhere between grunge, indie rock and garage swagger, delivering fuzzy guitars, infectious hooks and plenty of attitude. Chaos and melody in equal measure.
Camens (https://open.spotify.com/artist/3LHkzsxXfy6mKl8xwCaZeN?si=a9Cy10ULTDKd54hQ_xm9hg): Back after a lengthy spell away, Camens return sounding revitalised and more self-assured than ever. The Stoke outfit have traded some of their indie-pop brightness for a darker, more cinematic edge, while retaining the knack for memorable melodies that first put them on the map. New single Anything To Win marks the start of an exciting new chapter for the band.
Radio Free Alice (https://open.spotify.com/artist/4cCA6V2DRIDqeYDyGIcEoj?si=N2tXLuV3SPSByZEtG93LKA): Melbourne's Radio Free Alice may be based on the other side of the world, but their musical DNA is steeped in the finest British post-punk and new wave traditions. Sharp, stylish and endlessly danceable, they're rapidly becoming one of Australia's most exciting guitar bands.

[…] I'm alright mate, how are you? I'm good to ask. So new tune this city is a death trap. It feels like we need to address this head on first off. I'm hoping that this song judgeable title isn't a diss if you're hometown of Liverpool. It's not now we've had a few people say the same thing. It's not. It comes with a place of love. It's a theme we've noticed not just amongst our own band but basically anyone you speak to in our city and I think it's true. It's true wherever you go. The music industry just seems to be filled with pitfalls and sharks and it's very hard to navigate. I don't think I know of a single other musician who has at some point had some kind of running with the unscrupulous label heads or promoter or someone who doesn't have the best interest at heart.
