Recruits – Right Words
Who They Are: Blending a mix of soft acoustics, punchy verses and catchy chorus’ Recruits are bringing a new sound to the table of Scunthorpe’s music scene! The band is continuously gigging across Lincolnshire/Yorkshire, both acoustically and as a full band, and have some big shows planned at each end of the country. Recruit’s debut EP is in the final stages of being produced and is scheduled to be released by the end of 2014!
Why I Like Them: This song feels like comfort. I can imagine having one of those days and sitting in a nice quiet room listening to it. It’s not so much of a low energy song as it is a well written and beautifully composed piece. I really liked that I could feel the story that they are telling me through some serious vocal mojo. I was trying to think of who I would compare them to. I think with this song 3 Doors Down is what came to mind. Not that Recruits sound like them, more like this song would be at home in a playlist right next them.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: Yes. I’m looking forward to the release of their EP at the end of the year.

Steve Dean Smith – Vocals
Ben Yarrow – Lead Guitar

Stitched Up Heart – Frankenstein
Who They Are: Born in Oct, 2010, out of the tearing ends of 4 different groups; Mixi, High Risk, Never Like The Movies, and Sexual Harassment, The band sowed their seams together to form STITCHED UP HEART.
Why I Like It: I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love powerful vocals. Male or female makes no never mind to me. But once this song kicks into high gear Mixi’s vocals really scream to the forefront and I mean that literally. These guys are delivering a pulse pounding beat that matches the vocals to a T. Very reminiscent of Maria Brinks voice in those moments where Mixi really goes for broke.
Would I Listen to More of Their Stuff: Absolutely. I think that there is a reason that this band has such a following. If you haven’t heard them, your missing out.
Stitched Up Heart Is:
