Same Old Lines

Rod Thomas

unsigned/Self Raising

WE SAY

We first heard this track in the form of a James Yuill remix (here on Last.fm) which pricked up our ears - not just for Yuill's great job, but also the strong songwriting from Rod Thomas. The South Wales-born London-based singer/songwriter certainly has a knack for writing engaging lyrics and we have heard his name mentioned quite a bit in A&R circles in recent times. R1 support has come from Bethan Elfyn and Huw Stephens. This will be self-released on his own Self Raising Records label in October to tie-in with a UK tour. He has just been signed to Twenty-First Artists for management, and is available for records and publishing. JF London gig: August 14, Cargo EC1
