Tom Milek - 4.30-5.30pm
Amidst a sexed up generation where you’re either in an indie-rock band or standing next to someone who is, where gaining exposure in the music industry is relative to standing in a room full of screaming punk-rockers vying for your individual attention, and discotheques prevail over lo-fi bedroom recordings, Tom Milek has edged slyly in and around each intrusive niche, gathering ideas and inspiration to create his own, unique sound. Sweeping melodies carried off by mournful string arrangements, chilling piano lines and heartbreaking lyrics reminiscent of captivating songwriters such as Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, Whitley and Oh Mercy. Tom’s debut EP ‘Love & Ambition’ is out and ready for purchase online and in physical form (at gigs for now) with, first single ‘Vicious Curves’ (Track number 2) set to stir all who feast their ears on it.
