Description

Following the exciting news that Southampton-born singer Sean McGowan has signed a deal with Xtra Mile Recordings he now reveals details of a brand new EP Graft & Grief to be released 8th September 2017 on silver vinyl, CD and digital.

The 7 track EP features the singles No Show, Apple Core and Costa Del Solution. With two poems book-ending the EP, Graft & Grief showcases Seans lyrical dexterity, knack for penning a catchy melody and laser sharp social commentary. No Show puts zero-hour-contract, minimum-wage drudgery into riotous perspective, rebellion in half-arsed job performance, revenge in furiously-paced folk-punk whilst Apple Core draws gentle echoed gallops while Se n spits lyrics at a pace, a rowdy chorus nailing his unexpected eloquence. Dog Tag flows from chin-up confidence to raw honesty and Clear Conscience rumbles with drum rolls under soft guitars.

Finally, new song Costa Del Solution is a bright, sunny jangle set upon high street despondency and twists the clich of a beach holiday & Grief is an impressive showcase for his rollicking full-band set of socially spoton songs; an insight into realities of being young and musically-motivated in modern England.
