Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast

A bit eclectic collection of brilliant new music bunched together on this Episode of Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast, as we take in music from Newcastle, Alloa and Norfolk!
Jim Salveson sits down for a bit of chat and a whole loads of tunes this week from:
Andrew Cushin: Having once channelled raw, restless energy and grief into every line, Andrew Cushin now sounds like an artist who’s found his stride. Leaning into a broader, more assured indie rock sound (without losing his northern grit). This sounds like an artist truly enjoying his craft.
Ryan Redwood: A singer-songwriter with an ear for a swaggering rock anthem, Ryan Redwood leans into big, stadium indie rock over the soft fingerpicking of his contemporaries. With songs that feel like a release of pent-up frustrations, Ryan feels like he's capturing a generation’s mood.
Deltamanic: You wont have heard anything quite like Deltamanic! Brining together sounds of retro disco, widescreen rock and modern indie, it feels like this Scottish band are quietly starting a musical revolution! Music you but can't help dance along too!

'Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast' is written, researched, and hosted by Jim Salveson. Sound design and series production from Ant McGinley. This weeks episode was put together in Manchester. The show's theme tune, 'Blue Blazer' is from Manchester's Spin Klass.

Wow, there are a lot of capital letters going on in today's episode title, but thats cool, because the acts on this weeks show are 100% worth shouting about.
As always, Jim Salveson sits down with a trio of brilliant emerging artists to find out a little about their story, their inspiration and (of course) their latest tunes. This week;
SKORTS: Super cool band ripped from the New York underground rock scene. Florence and the Machine meets Queens of the Stone Age, meets Jefferson Airplane all knitted together with a undeniably funky bass line. Ace.
Details of the bands upcoming European tour here.
Bank Holiday: Fun indie pop that rages against the too-cool-for-school swagger of the Manchester music scene. Bank Holiday are a band who are clearly making the music they love and thats a great reason for you to love it too.
TOOTH GORE: The chilled surf vibe of Newquay mixed with the inner city punk of Mile End. Tooth Gore (aka Kobi Joe) melds together both styles and places to create a sound that is uniquely his.

Are you ready kids? Heeeeee.... has a load of top new tunes ready to go... FRESH! LEE! SQUEEZED! POD!
Jim's at it again, three awesome acts lined up and waiting to be discovered on the podcast ALL with top (and very fresh) new tunes for you to check out.
Barbara: Pure pop that pulls no punches. A bit of Bowie, a bit of Beach Boys and a whole lot of fun. Barbara are a band that aren't trying to be cool, they're making the music that they love and they want you to love it to... and to have a good time whilst you're at it.
Fragile Animals: Australia isn't known for its shoe-gaze... but maybe Fragile Animals will start a movement! Dreamy, hazy guitars layer with enchanting vocals and (occasionally) gloomy lyrical adventures to create something rich and emotive.
The Radio Addicts: Riotous punk-pop from a band with the energy and optimism that only comes from youth! The Radio Addicts are band band who's writing and musicianship defies their age... big spiky guitars and sing-a-long chorus' reminiscent of Buzzcocks combination of raw pink energy and sharp pop sensibilities.

Lock in, volume up, let's get lost in a world of new music with another three brilliant acts on this latest episode of Freshly Squeezed: A New Music Podcast.
Jim Salveson is behind the mic as he catches up with this weeks artists...
Martial Arts: Hot new Manchester band... that we're formed on a bus but are now one of the most promising acts in the North West. Music with a punk attitude but a indie pop heart where rage is wrapped up in catchy melodies and crunchy guitar hooks - one for fans of The Cribs!
Poesie: For fans of Madonna, Florence and The Machine and Kate Bush, Poesie has an ear as much for the theatric as she does for a catchy hook. The latest EP is a more confident and self assured version of what has come before.
Isaac Neilson: A singer/songwriter making headlines for his attempt to play a gig everyday in 2026... but one who's music should not be ignored. Creative storytelling with clever musical flourishes are central to Isaac's sound that translates brilliantly from studio recording to open mic!

Ready for a musical journey! All three of this weeks featured acts have very different musical styles but all have one thing in common, they're bloody awesome.
Switch on, lock in, this is some of the good stuff...
Embrace: 30 years making music has not dulled the flame for Embrace. ‘Avalanche’ is an album brimming with a confidence that only 3 decades of mastery can bring. It somehow manages to push the bands sound to a fresh new place whilst being quintessentially “Embrace” at the same time.
McGrath: Stunning songwriting with a traditional Irish heart its almost impossible to think that 'Rotha', given how accomplished it is, is the debut song from this young talent. It's got us suitably excited about what is to come.
Pihka Is My Name x IanGX: Pinka's scandi disco pop layers brilliantly with the rock-inspired vocals of IanGX (Katalina Kicks / Amongst Liars) to create something somewhere between Talking Heads, Marilyn Manson and 30 Seconds To Mars. Ridiculously infectious and a tune to whet the appetite for further collaborations!
