Primarily a producer rather than a performer, Joe’s been a studio creative for around 20 years… although he can occasionally be seen playing a piano at a quiet bar somewhere near home. His next project is producing a band from West Lothian, Scotland called “Silver Haar”… as well as remixing people under the “Invisible Squirrel” persona.
‘All My Time’ is a song that reflects on the short duration we have available to live our lives to the fullest for a meaningful existence, within a world that is in a perpetual state of chaos. Vocally the track delivers a powerful, yet restrained arrangement, reminiscent of a theatre-like production with highs and lows that take you on a journey of deliverance … and almost stadium-like anthem, living and breathing its way through the almost 4 minutes, through the creative talents of the musicians involved. It’s lifelike in the way that it takes breaths and pauses, before driving forward and delivering a massive chorus – all understated by the melodic basslines that create magic. ‘All My Time’ is the first single with new vocalist Ross Harding, who joins the lineup with drummer Dale Schnettler, guitarist Lloyd Timke and bassist Brendon McCaig. With this lineup Fear Of Falling begins to fulfil the full potential of this supergroup. The band can be seen maturing through its development, and Ross Harding could not have delivered a better performance on his first single with the band! Fear Of Falling has skilfully learnt and developed their sound, showing why they are on top of their game and the Rock Scene in Africa!

Rising talent Belle Vex drops uplifting pop number “Us,” driven by acoustic guitars and his airy vocal lines touched by hazy beats to round it off. With an empowering message that encourages us to be our own biggest cheerleader in good times and bad, the track has been six years in the making. A gentle yet catchy number that comes straight from Belle’s heart and a track he described as one he “cares way too much about,” the end result is a stripped back yet layered pop offering laden with warmth. Speaking of the track, Belle said, “Us is about being the support system when no one else would. This includes being there for yourself. My favourite song to date.” As someone who has consistently been self-reliant through the ups and downs of his career, “Us,” could very well be a soundtrack to Belle’s own journey. From his first record passing by without notice several years ago, slowly and steadily building a fanbase for his laid-back but rebellious style of pop to parting ways with his former representatives leading to the erasure of most his carefully sculpted craft. Later diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia, which made it near impossible to record vocals, Belle Vex has always allowed himself to be led by his passion for music. Having been on an inspiring journey – one in which he became his own strength and support, the promising talent has shown his ability to live by the message he’s putting on his latest track. Now, with life and creativity back under his control, Belle Vex is in his own home studio working on his most ambitious project to date, giving his listeners much to look forward to.

Katye Kellye (Kat-cha Kel-lee) is very, very tired of Autocorrect trying to change her name. Her band, The Interruption, was until recently composed solely of amazing studio professionals who have worked with bands you’ve actually heard of. Ms. Kellye has assembled a band with musicians who need to be heard from. She has been a singer and songwriter for a relatively short time (in geologic terms) or a very large number of dog years. Ms. Kellye writes incisive, pointed, bad-assed songs of experience that are probably not about you. (Although if you think they are, maybe you need to think about why that might be.) Also love songs tinged with levity that you wish were about you. Katye was the lead singer of Toxic Shox, her first offering in about 35 years was the 2019 EP, Vanity Project, available on most streaming services (all links linktr.ee/katyekellyeandtheinterruption) Her sound blends her downtown punk roots with hints of classic arena rock, “Wall of Sound” girl groups, and opera. Their first full-length album, “Late Bloomer” was released January 17, 2020, and since then have been followed by several singles and their second full album, “Sophomore Slump” on February 26, 2021. They are all available from Quinterruption Music on all major streaming services, Amazon and Apple Music. Several music videos are in production and the band will be promoting the album live in selected venues as the world reopens safely. Watch for announcements, and join our mailing list to hear about where!
Big Joe Shelton was born in the Black Prairie region of Northeast Mississippi. As a child growing up in a small Mississippi town he was exposed to an African-American culture, which still strongly reflected that of the early part of the twentieth century. He attended tent minstrel shows, bar-b-que picnics and heard street musicians performing authentic traditional blues. The Black Belt region is also the birthplace of blues legends Howlin’ Wolf, Bukka White and Big Joe Williams. As a young man he was fortunate in befriending Williams and this association greatly influenced his musical sensibilities. Big Joe is a Blues Music Award Nominee for Song Of The Year (The Older I Get The Better I Was). Black Prairie Blues was a finalist in the Blues Foundation of Memphis’s International Blues Challenge. He has performed at numerous festivals and clubs throughout the southeastern United States including: 2012 Blues Music Awards, King Biscuit Blues Festival, Mississippi Delta Blues and Heritage Festival, Jackson (MS) Rhythm & Blues Festival, Bukka White Blues Festival, Howlin’ Wolf Memorial Blues Festival, Freedom Creek Blues Festival, Beal Street Mess Around, Bentonia (MS) Blues Festival, Rolling Fork (MS) Blues Festival, Rosedale (MS) Crossroads Festival. The Great Louisiana Harmonica Festival, Ground Zero Blues Club (Clarksdale, MS), and Club Ebony (Indianola, MS) He has also toured England, France, Belgium, Bulgaria and the Netherlands. He has played with blues legends Big Joe Williams, Furry Lewis, Son Thomas, Junior Kimbrough, R. L. Burnside, Fenton Robinson, Willie King, Blind Mississippi Morris, Johnny Rawls & Elvin Bishop.

He was honored in 2007 by being included on the “Columbus/Cat Fish Alley” Mississippi Blues Trail Marker.
Emilie Lierre’s low-toned, soulful, singing voice has a truly commanding presence. Backed up by the alluring chimes of her trustee Ukulele, the charisma that exudes from Emilie’s performances is truly electrifying! A broken down relationship and a yearning to wander the earth lead Emilie Lierre to Australia where she busked to make a living and explored the southern hemisphere for 2 years. Appearances on ABC and Triple R radio in Melbourne gave her the confidence to pursue her musical dream and record an 8 track album on her return. The single includes as a B Side a live recording of Emilie Lierre playing her song Out Here Tonight live on ABC Radio in Sydney.

The founder of Redeemed Punk (RP), Wayne Lewis, founded the band after several years of performing in a comedic “Trailer Park Punk” band. Influences range from “The Birds”, “MC 5,” “The Ramones,” and even Bill Monroe. He spent 26 years in the military as an RP playing music on deployments, back porches, clubs, and bars when there was spare time. After lots of reflection on how music can influence people’s emotions a different writing style came about. Hearing Teeny-bop pop faith-based music helped us decide that there is a need for faith-based music “For Grown-ups That Still Like to Rock!!!”. In Redeemed Punk this RP has a new story to tell.
