monster4life231 4,304 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Hi, I'm making this thread to promote a talented young artist called Declan McKenna. His music is mostly indie-rock with some elements of glam-rock, heavily inspired by Bowie and other 70s and 80s artists. Many of his songs are political and deal with social issues. I think he's an amazing musician. I've left some videos below for you guys to have a look at. Enjoy. spread peace - #MJInnocent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei 59,929 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I love his new album. The first album wasn't really my cup of tea but was promising so I'm glad he came through with the second one Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so close to a number one album! spread peace - #MJInnocent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenues 4,370 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I Adore Decky Mecky been following him ever since I heard Brazil. Although I would say the new album hasn't grown on me yet. Here's a cover he did of Beyonce's Hold Up, that I love Ouch, My back hurts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been doing it long so it's nothing special but do enjoy writing Sorry for the late reply. Your review is great! One of my favourite lines in the album is "fastest gun in the solar system" too. After reading your interpretation of Be An Astronaut, I think that the meanings you found could be true. As soon as I heard The Key To Life On Earth, the first thing I thought of was Bowie's Ashes to Ashes! It's those synth/guitar sounds in the intro that reminded me of it. My favourite line from the review was "looking to music and the past to make sense of the present and the future." Great writing and thank you for sharing. spread peace - #MJInnocent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monster4life231 4,304 Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 @youandi @Avenues @gag @Ryusei Hi, Just found this on Youtube. It's a demo of a song that was going to be on Zeroes. Though that you might be interested. Edit: Here's another too. spread peace - #MJInnocent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
