experience The Kellows' captivating live performance.
"We're incredibly excited to share 'Do You Want Me To' with the world," says frontman Will Harris. "Playing SXSW London was an amazing experience, and we can't wait to bring that energy back to Sheffield for Tramlines
Fringe. It's going to be a special night."

Featured Artist
Artist
Riley Marsh is the 19 year old Derby / Nottingham based singer / songwriter / musician who is bringing to the forefront his unique mix of 90’s Alt Rock, Grunge and Folk sounds.
Having been heavily featured on BBC Introducing in the East Midlands, with regular plays and opportunities coming from Dean Jackson (Opening up the 3500 capacity Venue, Vaillant Live in Derby for BBC Introducing),
Riley has also played Festivals such as Y-NOT, Dot to Dot, Eyes Have It, Gate To Southwell and Beat The Streets Festival.
Further accomplishments include supporting The Rosadocs at The Loft in Matlock, supporting Martin Harley (the well known UK Americana Blues artist) and supporting former Inspiral carpets lead singer Tom Hingley on various occasions.
On his latest release “Castle Made of Sand” which was written and composed by Riley Marsh and features him on Guitar and lead Vocals, he is also joined by Art Marshall on Drums and Alfie Reeves on Bass guitar.
‘Castle Made Of Sand’ is a stunning offering from Riley Marsh with its paired back instrumentals in the opening verse really giving focus to the crisp precision of the vocals. The track picks up pace thereafter adding
a layered and varied soundscape with more of a spotlight being given to the instruments at play, before there is a definitive change of tone in the mid section bringing things down a pace or two before the rousing melody
picks up once more taking the track to its conclusion.
Everyone featured on this track knows their role to play and it's clear that every little detail of the production has been well planned and thought out resulting in a very catchy song that seems to come effortlessly with a
certain raw charm to it, something that is very difficult to master in recorded tracks.
The song takes inspiration from artists like Jeff Buckley, Pavement and The Smashing Pumpkins and given Riley’s previous passionate and energetic live performances, we can see this track quickly becoming a firm fan favourite
when performed live.
Riley has said of the track:-
“Castle Made of Sand is about being afraid to commit to someone who’s committed to you. You find yourself overthinking everything to the point where you don’t even trust yourself.
It represents a slight shift in style to a more alt rock/grunge sound which has always been a style that I've loved.”
“Castle Made of Sand” was recorded at Eiger Studios in Leeds and was mixed/engineered by Dom Richmond.
Upcoming Gigs
3rd Aug - Y-Not Festival
5th Aug - Dubrek Studios Derby - Supporting Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets)

Message To Bears
RELEASES Tired Eyes, Waking Hearts album
SHARES ‘Capsize’
ALBUM RELEASE DATE: 18 July 2025
LABEL: Lost Birds Records
London-born, Bristol-based composer and producer Message To Bears shared his latest studio album, Tired Eyes, Waking Hearts, on July 18th 2025 via Lost Birds Records. Message To Bears is the musical alias of English composer and multi-instrumentalist Jerome Alexander, renowned for crafting emotive, cinematic soundscapes that blend ambient, folk, post-rock, and electronic influences. With over 200 million streams across platforms, Message To Bears has supported Nils Frahm at Oxford's historic Holywell Music Room and Olafur Arnalds at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, performed at Green Man Festival ahead of legends like Mumford and Sons, Flaming Lips, Beirut, The Tallest Man on Earth and Efterklang.
Message To Bears has received national airplay from prominent BBC Radio 6 presenters including Guy Garvey, Tom Robinson, and Nitin Sawhney, as well as BBC Radio 3’s Afrodeutsche, Radio X’s John Kennedy, RTÉ 2FM in Ireland and NPR in the US. He has also gained further local and international support from stations such as BBC Gloucestershire, BBC Wiltshire, BBC Somerset, BBC Radio Bristol, and KEXP (Seattle, US). His music has been featured in a range of publications, including Vulture, Stereogum, Teen Vogue, CLASH Magazine, NOTION, Music Radar, The Line of Best Fit, and Mixmag, among others.
Since his 2007 debut EP1, which sold out instantly, Message To Bears has released several acclaimed albums, including Departures (2009), Folding Leaves (2012), Maps, Carved From Tides, and Constants.
Known for his lush arrangements and atmospheric style, his music has been featured across film, television, advertising, and video games worldwide. Notably, his work appeared in the iconic game Life is Strange alongside artists such as Mogwai, Local Natives, Foals, José González, and Alt-J. His compositions have also been included in popular Netflix series like Virgin River and Warrior Nun.
Influenced by a range of artists from Explosions In the Sky to Bon Iver to Ry X to José González, Message To Bears crafts a beautiful blend of Folktronica and Modern Classical music. Tired Eyes, Waking Hearts is a breathtaking body of work with sounds ranging from ambient orchestral to folktronica sure to ensnare fans of Sufjan Stevens, Novo Amor, and Bon Iver.
Tired Eyes, Waking Hearts is a sweeping blend of ambient orchestral soundscapes and folktronic detail, offering a deeply emotive listening experience that drifts between intimacy and vastness. The focus track, ‘Capsize’, is a beautiful work of ambient folktronica exploring the tension between holding on and letting go. Rich layers of acoustic instrumentation - strings, piano, muted brass - intertwine with delicate electronic textures, ghostly choral fragments, and atmospheric field recordings to create a sense of movement through emotional terrain. Subtle yet cinematic, the album evokes themes of transformation, grounding, and quiet resilience, all delivered with a sense of craftsmanship that feels both timeless and profoundly human.
Speaking on the album, Message To Bears told us: “‘Tired Eyes, Waking Hearts’ is deeply meaningful to me—its intention is to represent the transition from chaos to peace, including all the difficult moments in-between. The album was recorded entirely in my home studio, blending vintage and analogue equipment with modern technology, utilising samplers, acoustic instruments, micro-tape machines alongside classical instrumentation.”
Tired Eyes, Waking Hearts Album Tracklist:
1. Turbines Over Oceans
2. Knots Tied in Grass
3. Disquiet
4. Open Lungs
5. Half Light
6. Tired Eyes, Waking Hearts
7. Capsize
8. River Calls
9. Last Wave
10. Awake, Far Away
