Sam J. Lance – The Man Behind Better Off Video, Brave Liaison 11.07.2023
As I wrote the article about Brave Liaison’s track Better Off, I was left with many questions for the Director Sam J. Lance. He very kindly obliged and answered a few of them, I was floored 🙃. Thank you so much Sam for taking the time and providing such detailed answers 🥰. [Sam] Hey Claire! Thank you for getting in touch!

Brave Liaison, Better Off, Single Release 07.07.2023
Better Off is the brand new single by British Alternative Rock band Brave Liaison from Cambridge. As with all their releases, the melody is easily remembered, hummed, automatically dragging your foot along until the move becomes a mirror to the rhythm of the bass and the drums. Simple in its composition, yet efficient and powerful, Better Off won’t leave you unmoved. Ever since I discovered Brave Liaison last year, I have followed the band with great interest and enthusiasm. Better Off follows the pattern of meaningful lyrics and brings a dimension to the band’s music that I particularly affectionate. I’ve said it before, Brave Liaison has something to say and…

Jay Ray – Striven feat. Marko Saaresto
Ever since Finnish artist Jay Ray announced his collaboration with Marko Saaresto (Poets of the Fall), I have said and promised myself that I would write a post about the single Striven. Of course, I have, as usual, been side-tracked, delayed by other projects… however, my listening to Striven on full repeat – and more recently some other songs from Jay Ray‘s album Self-Resonance – was not. Nonetheless, I am once more not so much synchronized with the actual event that the Striven release was. Have you noticed how good artists have become in throwing teasers at us? I mean, they know how to engage and Jay Ray is no…

Tom Lumley & The Brave Liaison, No Trust 04.11.2022
Tom Lumley & the Brave Liaison is a British indie rock band who has recently released the video for the acclaimed single No Trust. I discovered the band on the “tweet-tweet” social platform when they announced that they were about to be the opening act for Poets of the Fall’s Ghostlight Tour 2022. Unfortunately, they were sharing the first act with the great Swedish rock band Bomber… I say unfortunately because none of the gig dates I chose included Tom Lumley & the Brave Liaison 😭. I would have loved to be able to say I saw both supporting acts ❤️ “Anywho”, I read a few reactions to the announcement…

Larry Sandman – Upside Down Video feat. Marko Saaresto, out 03.06.2022
When the Sandman himself announced his new single Upside Down featuring Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, my mind went straight to Poets of the Fall. I counted the x’s and Marko Saaresto fitted exactly. I thought to myself, nah, this can’t be right. I hoped of course, because I realised what this would mean to Larry Sandman: a wider exposure of his music, among other things. I hoped but dared not saying it out loud. Then, Larry replaced the first X with M… my mind went wild and after that it did not take long before he let us all on the secret 🥰. Obsessed much? Maybe. In truth, I am devoted to…
