The Deadline Shakes - 'Sweeten the Deal'
Tuesday, November 10, 2015
Glasgow's The Deadline Shakes are Greg Dingwall (lead vocals, guitars and keys), Iain McKinstry (guitars and vocals), Martin McLeod (bass), Thomas Booth (drums) and Sam Clark (piano), with Michael Muir (violin) and Kiera Pollock (vocals).

Their debut album 'Zealots', produced by Greg in a tiny room in the east end of Glasgow, is the product of three years of hard work following the band's inception. Greg’s songs are often widescreen in scope, but lucidly lovelorn lyrics give the album a relatably human quality. This is an album recorded on a limited budget that sounds like a large scale, big studio production.

Each band member is a multi-instrumentalist who has a passion bordering on compulsion to create, a drive which underpins everything they do. Even the band's unique artwork is designed in-house by bass player Martin. Guitarist Iain has edited their music videos.

'Sweeten The Deal' can be heard daily during the New Music Show and on frequent rotation on Rock By Day.

Liverpool singer/songwriter Tony Steele has returned to music with a new single 'Starting From Scratch', releasing on September 25th, 2015 and showcasing a stripped down folk/rock sound. Session musicians Charlie Landsborough Jnr, Laura Mackinlay, Peter Macparland and Grant Walker complete the line up of his band, The Massacre.

Tony's first band Monkey Steps, a psychedelic Scouse skiffle group, supported Alabama 3 and Pete Doherty. They also gave Catfish and the Bottlemen their first Liverpool gig when the young Welsh band opened for Monkey Steps at Liverpool's legendary Cavern Club.

Tony's lyrics are based on the three years he spent away from music drawing inspiration from the ups and downs that life has thrown at him. His new music was premiered at two gigs in London supporting Zak Starkey's band Penguins Rising and Inder Goldfinger's The Winachi Tribe, and was so well received that he has announced a UK tour, starting with a gig supporting John Power at Liverpool's Kazimier. Tony Steele and The Massacre will also be supporting Cast in Kendal, Alloa, and Paisley as well as headlining gigs in Birmingham, London, and Glasgow. The band will also be supporting John McCullough and the Escorts in Liverpool.

Catch Tony Steele and The Massacre during The New Music Show airing daily at 8am and 8pm EST.

The track can be pre-ordered now on iTunes.
