“I find it easy to stay grounded because I see it for what it is. It’s just music. As wonderful & magical as it can be, it’s only music.” - Romain Axisa from The Big Push stereostickman.com/interviews/rom…

"There’s no intimacy in a huge venue. It’s fun as fuck, but people can’t even see you. They can see a shape of you." @Highly_Suspect Talk Playing Smaller Venues & Re-connecting with Fans. Exclusive Interview: stereostickman.com/interviews/hig…

It feels great to write songs just for myself, and maybe those in a close real-time circle. I wonder if these are therefore a totally different kind of song, like writing a diary as opposed to a public blog. Or maybe they suck, because it doesn't matter, and we'll never know.

Five hours of wild, weird & wonderful indie tracks make up this year's first #OneHourWonder PLAYLIST. The very best & most original new music that deserves to be heard. Tomorrow we start fresh for the Spring season, but the music lives on.... 🎧 open.spotify.com/playlist/7opBk…

There's a very clear difference between artists who are passionately creative, building something that allows them to keep creating, and those desperate to go viral purely for the accolade. The music speaks for itself. We see you, we hear you: Stay Creative 🙏

It’s a huge year for NHS doctor & songwriter Euplasia, with a full-album release scheduled to light up each month song by song, and following the success of 'You Wonder', #Hallayoola marks an uplifting follow-up; a celebration of pure childhood joy. 🎧 open.spotify.com/track/1YJLFmaB…

Writing songs about real life, for real people - Euplasia is a multi-instrumentalist and producer, an NHS doctor and family man, whose music is connecting across the globe for its purity, warmth, melodic charm, and wonder. youtube.com/watch?v=f5M-ER…

“I wrote 'You Wonder' from a few different viewpoints, but at its heart it’s inspired by my children — the paths they’ll take, the people they’ll become, and the mark they’ll make on the world.” - Euplasia stereostickman.com/interviews/eup…

Dark and dirty to a degree, thoughtful and dreamy at the same time. We wander into the depths of the forest with our softly spoken protagonist, and all the while we grow, we learn, we’re gifted with ‘the power of resurgence’.... 🎧 #SuDs #Dubstep stereostickman.com/music/suds-may…

Lo-fi rhythms & hazy bass, clean keys & catchy melodies – a dreamy indie ambiance & dynamic vocals guide us into an introspective, comforting realm. Jordi & Sophie Woodhouse join forces, for the blissful earworm 'Think Too Much'. @JordanEmeterio 🎧 stereostickman.com/music/jordi-so…

Still wrapping up the best tracks from the middle of this year, but to keep you entertained - in these lost days between Christmas & New Year's - Here's our very best playlist from 2025's indie legends. Amazing to listen back through these tracks 🎧 open.spotify.com/playlist/3HF7a…

There are many benefits to AI, we’ve all appreciated those in some way. It’s a bittersweet new world, and whichever side you stand on, the truth of the matter remains: AI is here, it’s not going away, and we must continue our work. So, what lies ahead?  stereostickman.com/2025-the-year-…

Some artists are writing the songs themselves, recording their own vocals, and using Suno to fill in the gaps. So how do we respond to that? Should the gaps remain where skill is lacking? Or has hiring a producer always been a sneaky way to subsidise your abilities? If you’re a professional musician, is AI just helping you work smarter rather than harder? Or is it draining your work of its heartfelt authenticity? Is ‘time spent’ reflected in the perceived value of the audio escapism? 2025 - The Year Music Wrecked Its Own Industry stereostickman.com/2025-the-year-…

"Scarcity has become a luxury. Imagine that." Amazing video on the reality of limitless music & the widespread desire to return to physical collections. @maryspender "I'm Leaving Spotify" youtu.be/c3oXoF9XW_Q?si… via @YouTube

I love this change of pace for Sid Hagan. I love the old music, and I love the playfulness and creativity that lets him choose to make sounds and audio escapism in any and all forms. We should all be enjoying the fruits of creativity as musicians, and not feel so limited by expectation or what came before. Nor should we be so swayed by the opinions of others, whether good or bad – it should be our choice to use our time as we like, creatively, while we can, and hopefully we’ll have something to show for it at the end; something we’re ultimately a fan of, and rightfully proud of.

This month is shaping up to be the best of the year, in terms of quirky, creative & catchy indie track releases. Check out the #OneHourWonder playlist while you work... It's a doozy 🤟🎧🤟 open.spotify.com/playlist/7opBk…

"Your dog, he loves you - more than I do."

Sam Fender donating his £25,000 Mercury Prize winnings to the Music Venue Trust resonates far beyond a generous gesture. It symbolises something increasingly rare in the modern music industry: an artist using success to spotlight the cracks in the very system that elevated him. Fender’s decision underscores a truth many independent musicians have long understood — that the grassroots foundations of live music are collapsing, and too few are paying attention. stereostickman.com/sam-fender-don…
