What Fun For a New Year ...
..... The Speed of Sound ....
Are to use some of my Pictures for their new Video ..
{to be released later this month .. I will keep you briefed}
 
Here is a quick peek of two of the stills;
{Also included are some of the originals}:-


John Armstrong - Guitars/Vocals
Kevin Roache – Bass 
 & (since October 2014) eighteen year old Owen Deane on Drums. 
 
Some background information:-
Speed of Sound have been ‘lurking’ in Manchester’s underground scene since 1989.
They have been described as:-
****“a cool mix of punk and The Byrds 5th Dimension LP” 
         by Berlin based counter-culture DJ Lord Litter
 
****“a merger between Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Lou Reed”
         by MusicVsTheWorld blog; 
 
The Speed of Sound’s music is a brand of original independent music, unfettered and unchained by mainstream music industry trends. 

Their song Checkered Land (inspired by Alice Through The Looking Glass)
was on their 1989 EP and is a live favourite, the band picked it as the next video and rerecorded it with the new line-up.
The audio will be released as a download after the video is completed..... I am officially so excited .....
 
Asked how the band can enjoy playing songs older than some of their audience John said;
"A lot of modern popular music is choreographed to death, but we like to keep things fresh with a bit of improvisation,
the songs evolve all the time, especially when the line-up changes and live performance brings that out, it keeps the creative process going.”

On the video itself, John said “We’ve used some of the John T

enniel illustrations too, 
but I was really excited by Natalie’s photographs crossing Alice with Alex from A Clockwork Orange,
it just sparked as some ideas do and it was great when she agreed to us using them in the video."
 
Two CD albums and a 7” double-A-side-single are already available, while their third album (featuring all new songs)
has passed the demo stage and will be recorded during 2015.

The Speed Of Sound are on Bandcamp, iTunes, CDbaby, Spotify, Amazon, Reverberation, Soundcloud, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook... etc
