Damon Brock
Singer-songwriter Damon Brock from Worthing, UK, releases his latest single, A Different Light, on May 2. Written and recorded at his home studio this winter, the self-produced acoustic song explores the trials of moral dilemmas and the unexpected nature of doing what’s right.
With an intimate New Folk sound, A Different Light invites listeners into Brock’s world of storytelling, where familiar melodies and honest lyricism illuminate the grey areas of human experience. Inspired by classic folk and singer-songwriter traditions, Brock wanted the story and message to take the lead, crafting a track that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
"This song is about those moments when moral codes are tested, and the choices made aren’t always those expected," says Brock. "It’s about growth, understanding, and seeing the world through, well, a different light."
About the stripped-back instrumentation, Brock says "I wanted to set these songs in a place where the stories shine through and where the purity of the strong melodies cocoon the listener". A Different Light serves as a powerful introduction to what’s to come, with two more tracks set for release in the summer.
Brock will be playing these tunes and more live this summer, though, as his followers know, his ability to play live is sadly limited by his commitment
to caring for his disabled wife.

Dellacoma
Dellacoma are raw, explosive and potent. After almost 4 years of exhaustive touring across Australia, USA, UK and Europe in support of their debut album, South of Everything, 2019 saw the band take a touring break while Rio began work on the second album “Blood” which was released in 2021.
2023 saw the arrival of Rob Moody (guitar) and John Justus (guitar/piano) as well as the return to international touring with the band hitting the US for the first time since 2018.
“More Than Survival” is Dellacoma’s first single from their highly anticipated third studio album, scheduled to drop in 2025 with further US and European tours to follow.
"More Than Survival" is a song about recognizing that you've spent a long time time in survival mode and wanting more than that. Wanting to actually thrive.
Sometimes life can get hard but we're resilient as humans and if you hang in long enough the sun starts to shine again.
This song is about deciding that you want more from life
than just 'getting by'
