Uranium Lake

"The day I discovered Uranium Lake, I kind of felt like I had been let in on a very special secret... They didn't have inflated egos, they didn't have eccentric fashion, and they would never shouts their mouths off in the NME, but this was a band to treasure. They wrote straight-forward old-fashioned jangly indie-pop songs. Their influences were worn firmly on their sleeve (The Smiths and The Go-Betweens being two of note) but this was something that just made them more honest and refreshing, rather than detract from their greatness.

Dan Drury

Dan is a home grown singer songwriter from Ashton Under Lyne, Manchester. He creates quirky, melody driven, foot tappers from his back bedroom. With many failed atempts at a band Dan relies on his ability to get a noise out of most instruments he plays. This keeps his tracks fresh and even with only one artist playing the tracks have a lot of ideas crammed in. Dan's music doesnt mess around. If he can get his sarcy messages across in 2 minutes then so be it. There are some obvious influences that can be heard but I cant really hear anything robbed directly.
