Stylusboy releases Fingerprint EP + 2009 UK shows

By bandweblogs on Oct 14, 2009 in Music News, New Releases | Tags: , , ,

Stylusboy is a singer-songwriter from Coventry playing melodic, delicate songs that warm the heart. Think Aqualung, Damien Rice, Badly Drawn Boy or maybe Elbow.

Stylusboy

'Fingerprint EP' is Stylusboy's debut release which he recorded and produced himself, with the help a few friends. Fingerprint EP contains songs about love, hope, joy and the beautiful things in every day life. Recording the drums in a local community centre and the rest of the EP in his lounge, this is very much a home grown release.

Tracks have been very warmly received and already had radio play. 13 Shuffle have described the track "Stopclock" as "Purely fragile - a precious parcel beautifully bubble-wrapped - handled with care and sincerity."

Stylusboy gigs regularly and live outings are an intimate affair where he takes the listeners on a journey with his guitar and voice. He recently played a packed mainstage at the Godiva Festival, a performance that helped his reputation grow further.

Stylusboy has played alongside Newton Faulkner, The King Blues and up and coming artists Olivia Broadfield and Jess Morgan.

Fingerprint EP was released via itunes and the usual online outlets as well as through Stylusboy's Big Cartel Store on his Myspace page.

The physical CD is released in a brown card sleeve, each numbered and fingerprinted by Stylusboy. Each EP also includes an individual abstract photograph taken by Stylusboy.
Details of how to buy are on www.myspace.com/stylusboy.

“If you want meaningful and poignant song writing without being preached at then look to Stylusboy. It is a renewed innocence filled with hope and light during a dark and hopeless day.” - Tasty Burger Records

“Mixing a sense of melancholy akin to Aqualung with a sense of the melodic that recalls the lighter side of Ryan Adams.” - God is in the TV

“Stylusboy can best be described as melodic acoustic fare, but there is more to the music than that, in fact I just can’t put my finger on it.” - Die Shellsuit Die
