JOHN DREDGE & THE BALCONY SHIRTS BAND release debut single ‘Double Agent Working Alone’

Here's our very own John Dredge together with the Balcony Shirts with their debut indie guitar pop single - and we are sure you will agree that it is fabulous!

Double Agent Working Alone is a joyously catchy two-minute guitar-pop song conceived as a homage to the stylish spy thrillers of the sixties. The video also evokes memories of cinematic espionage, with the inclusion of a secret message and a mysterious multi-story car park.

The group were formed when singer/lyricist John Dredge met guitarist/producer/shop owner Scott Balcony in the Balcony Shirts garment printing and embroidery shop, deep in the heart of Uxbridge. Bassist Chris Taylor, additional guitarist Leigh Heggarty and drummer Bob Burgons were quickly recruited from the shop staff, and the debut single was actually recorded there despite constant interruptions from the customers. But what a result! Shop-based pop at its finest.

Double Agent Working Alone is available here! And you can check out The Balcony Shirts shop site here!

MAD WASP CROSS POLINATION
SOME OF THE AMAZING NEW TALENT PLAYED ON MAD WASP RADIO

We love to highlight some of the variety you will hear on Mad Wasp Radio and we are pleased to add music videos today from pMad The Band and The Metal Bryds - both wonderful bands that we play and who are very supportive of us too.

pMad - Sisters

Paul Dillon is a solo artist from Portumna, Co. Galway, Ireland named pMad.

Following a path of introspection with a unique view of the world and what we are doing to ourselves and the planet! 'Sisters' delves into the feelings we have, when people we love leave our lives too soon. Even with the devils and the demons that often inhabited their lives, those we love that have gone too soon have left such an impression in our lives and we are grateful for the path they have led us to.

Paul has been in bands The Suicidal Dufflecoats to The Greeting & now to pMad, and recorded ‘Sisters’ in the middle of a pandemic and it is created in collaboration with Ireland (Zedakube Recording), Germany (Protonaut Studio) & Mexico (Elith Mastering Labs) without ever being in the same room together.

pMad has received huge chart success, critical acclaim and played worldwide on radio and is a favourite of listeners at Mad Wasp Radio.

The Metal Bryds - Little Lies

The Metal Byrds band are born musicians. London born Suzanne Birdie, has a power-pop rock voice, that compliments Sly Rye's ripping rock riffs and lead guitar solos in every song! These catchy songs are a throwback to a time where female front-women dominated the radio waves with rocking sounds. A time where Hair Bands and Classic Rock & Roll ruled the world.

Their sound comes from individual influences over the decades. Sly Rye's guitar playing style has been influenced anywhere from classic rock all the way from metal to alternative rock. Suzanne's singing style is heavily influenced by all the great women in rock history. From Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, Stevie Nicks and Heart. They are not the typical cookie-cutter sounding rock band, and if you listen closely, you will hear a sound like none-other." says the band of creating songs together.

The Metal Byrds have received rotation on both international and national online and FM radio stations, including Mad Wasp Radio, and like us they have a growing fan base that keeps on growing. Songs from their latest album have risen up the radio charts to reach #1, they maintain at least one song on any given time on a top ten chart, every week since the beginning of 2020, as well as being featured on several explosive and popular Spotify playlists that feature other great up and coming Indie Rock bands and musicians.

Check their great music on The Metal Bryds website here!
