Artist Spotlight: Sell Your Sky

Closing out the week and heading into the weekend with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we find ourselves immersed over in Bath, England and in search of the enthusiastic pop-punk sounds of Sell Your Sky. The band consists of Tom Burton on guitar, Callum Coupland on drums, John Glenister on bass, Rob Mcleod on vocals, Ryan Strudwick on guitar, and Aaron Tiley on vocals. The band's influences range from New Found Glory to Brand New with a strong emphasis put on their vocals that have the occasional hardcore scream that will attract some hardcore fans as well who may not be too fond of pop-punk, but they will grow to appreciate them over time as they have a certain exuberance to them that is infectious and you can't help but to fall into right away. Pop-punk music is my primary musical mainframe and comprises the essence of my musical existence, so we basically grew up hand in hand while in high school and I can clearly identify with the mindset that is currently embedded within them that allows them to diversify their sound a little bit so that they don't blend into the crowd and go unnoticed. A terrific U.K. act that deserves to get some attention and press here in the US of A. Some recommended tracks for you to check out include "Ready When You Are, Raoul" and "Go Home Show".

For more info on the chaps of Sell Your Sky, cruise on over to their Facebook page and 'Like' them here so that you can stay connected with everything that is happening on their end. The band can also be followed on Twitter from right here and see when they might be making an appearance in the U.S. sometime soon. Visit their Bandcamp site over here to discover all their music and keep an eye out for a new album from the band expected sometime later on this year.
