Every day, we get sent a shitload of music and press releases from the big record companies. We also get delivered lots of nice electronic letters from independent artists that don't have the clout of a label behind them. There aren't enough hours in the day for us to be able to bring everything to your attention. So, ignoring, for today, the devastating arrival in our inbox of a new Hard-Fi single (why? For the love of God, why?), we instead choose to bring you something from Brighton's Stuart Newman. A largely self-taught musician, working with the piano and guitar, Newman began experimenting with his songwriting and home recording production techniques before and during his University years and has since chucked a heap of free downloads into cyberspace.
In order to offer something more tangible alongside free songs, in 2010, he designed some T-Shirts which he offered to fans around the world for free (while stocks lasted). They were sent to destinations such as Finland, Russia, Sweden, Romania, Mexico, Taiwan and USA.
Newman continues to experiment with audio and video and is currently concentrating on writing new material towards his second album. Find out more about him here.
