HEY FLICKERS!

I'm back to make it a hat-trick, and this time I've gone all digital.

Today we're going space age with a look at the wonderfully varied world of Flicknife's Digital Catalogue...

Are you a conspiracy theorist? Do you believe that the royal family are really lizards? Do you think that the moon is hollow? If this sounds familiar, we have the band for you!

Johnny & The Birds

Meet Johnny and The Birds: the music world's equivalent of the Illuminati! A shadowy band, formed from members of other rock groups, who for legal reasons and personal safety must keep their names the strictest of secrets! (But here's a hint: you may recognise the singer, if you're a Mystere 5's fan. If you're not, it’s ex-Electric Chairs and Mystere 5’s Chris Reeves!)

But, despite everything, they put themselves at great risk, to bring you their latest album 'Johnny & The Birds' (SHARPD14068). Here is a sample track to listen to, while the NSA listen to you: http://youtu.be/19ZY11pt3pc
Like that? Well you can own the whole thing here on Amazon.

Healey Island - On Ponzi Bridge

Next is a real treat for any Electronic fans! Combining chilled out sounds and irresistible beats with some accurate but cutting lyrics about modern society, British electronic artist HealeyIsland, the musical vehicle of writer Greg Healey. A favourite of Tom Robinson (him of TRB and '2-4-6-8 Motorway' fame’), he has gifted us with his latest album 'On Ponzi Bridge'(SHARPD15072).
Here's a track to wet your whistle: http://youtu.be/-8Xjrw6fIhc
Sound like your thing? Or someone you know's thing? Think you could MAKE it someone's thing?
Then pick it up here from Amazon or from iTunes here.

Auto Pilot - 8 Zero

Do you like Rock Music? How about EDM? Is hard core Gangsta Rap more your style? Or, are your tastes more... Eclectic? If like me you enjoy a varied style of music, I have just the outfit for you, may I present: Auto-Pilot! A group that doesn't stick to just one genre, they're more of an ever evolving process than a simple band. Based around the musical stylings of one Adrian Collier AKA Auto-Pilot, whose album '8-Zero' (SHARPD15074) was the runner up in both the best international artist and best international album at the 2014 Schallwelle Electronic Music Awards, Bochum, Germany!
Think you'll agree with the Germans? Or do you think this album is second to NONE! Give it a listen and see what you think: http://youtu.be/_9obu1LzS4c
If you like it, why not pick up a copy from Amazon here or from iTunes here.

The Statements - Makin A Statement

If you're a fan of Kings of Leon, but prefer your bands with a more 'Manchester' sound you're going to lose it for our next act, The Statements! They had a minor hit a while back with the excellent 'Feelin' and now they've got a whole album ready to sit proudly in your collection, 'Makin' A Statement'(SHARPD15076). Give it a listen here: http://youtu.be/l7SAJUYiSII
If you're feelin it, why not make a statement by purchasing this album here on Amazon or here from iTunes.

Jointpop - This Is Radio TnT

The weather may be rubbish, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little sun in our lives. Take a break from the rain and picture yourself kickin' back on the beach with your tipple of choice, listening to Trinidad and Tobago's premiere rock band, Jointpop. They've got a global following and have toured the UK and US several times, now they've release their new EP 'This is Radio TnT'(FLEPD16080) produced by none other than Paul Kimble, of Grant Lee Buffalo. So if you want to see what he saw, and hear what he heard, give this track a listen and let Jointpop brighten up your day:

Liking what you hear? Well check out the rest of their EP on Amazon or head to iTunes.

Freddy James Band - Black Flowers

Now for a band that have supported some amazing acts, including Steve Cradock of Ocean Colour Scene and Paul Weller! The excellent Freddy James Band and their new EP 'Black Flowers' (FLEPD16080) If you've been following our blog you know how good these guys are, if you haven't... Go back and read the others, they're great and you'll start to understand how good this band is. If you need more proof, check out this sample right here:

Told you it was good. If you liked it as much as I did, you can pick up the full EP on Amazon here and here on iTunes.

The Carbon Manual - When I Am Memory

Last, but by no means least we have the latest from Barracudas front man Jeremy Gluck, with one of his side outfits The Carbon Manual. Their first single 'The Truth Is' was on "Red Star", Marty Thau's label, but the album 'When I Am Memory' (SHARPD12057) is all Flicknife. So why not hang ten with the Silver Surfer and see if you like what you hear?
Give it a listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPPRj4ySYHg
Then if you're so inclined, pick it up here on Amazon or here on iTunes.

So there's a sample of our digital catalogue, all of these PLUS all our physical releases, are available from a staggering 88 digital stockists worldwide, including but not limited to:
Amazon, iTunes (who stock our tracks in both audio and ringtone formats).and a few region specific stockists, such as:FNAC and Orange in France, Virgin Mobile in North America.or Movistar and Telephonica in Latin America…..and many many more! (Seriously, there's freakin loads. I'm sure you'll find one near you.)

So that's your lot! I reckon that the only way you'd not be able to find something there you like is if you're deliberately trying not to and that's just mean... Why would you do that?.. I'm upset now...

Catch you on the Flipside.
The Flicknife Kru
