Ghosts & Shadows – She Makes War Music, ramblings and recommendations

Press : SMW Introduced by The Girls Are

Very cool news just in - I've been featured on another of my very favourite blogs - the wonderful The Girls Are. I came across this one a few months ago when I was browsing for reviews of new music by non-major-label artists - it's bizarre how many music blogs just cop out and review the same old stuff as the magazines! Anyway, TGA is an excellent site and I highly recommend you add it to your RSS reader.

"Introducing: She Makes War" by Steph P - read the full post here.

"…brilliant one woman project She Makes War's…special brand of gloom punk-pop is as infectious as it is beautiful. Her first single ‘Let This Be’ combines Kidd’s varied influences to create a grunge pop lament to a melancholy lover. The most obvious comparison for Kidd would be Laura Mary Carter, the softly spoken riff queen from Blood Red Shoes."

"Kidd draws inspiration from those sour times we’ve all had in relationships turning them into heartbreakingly honest poetry…As she dances her way through the video for ‘Let This Be’, clad in sequins, face paint and a blue tutu, we can rest assured that she is her own person, doing her own thing. But we do want to know where she got that tutu from."

That tutu is the first item of clothing I have ever sewn myself Steph

By the by, my stompy protest song "Not In My Name" will remain a free download for as long as the current horrifying political situation continues...and hey, who knows what ridiculousness will happen next. Happy days - get the song here, turn it up, close your eyes and think of England...X
