_{Skarlett Riot may be a band that will find its biggest following among the younger generation of rock fans, but their new EP “We Are The Brave” has made a fan out of a (young at heart) rocker in his mid 40s! The band formed back in 2010 and already have a successful debut album and impressive list of live appearances under their belt. I must admit though that I didn’t know much about them until this new EP arrived via Factory Music. “We Are The Brave” was released on 16th February.}

_{Bigfoot is a band featuring five guys from the Wigan area of North West England. They’ve recently released a four track EP centred around the single “The Other Side of Paradise”. We’d been sent the EP by the band’s PR team and I played the single on the Friday NI Rocks Show last week. Definitely a release worth investigating!}

_{Nigel Bailey is the lead singer of the bands Bailey and Three Lions, both of which released debut albums through Frontiers Records during 2014. In Three Lions, Nigel teams up with former Dare / Ten members Vinny Burns and Greg Morgan. They released the album “Three Lions” in April ( http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/1521-ni-rocks-recommends-qthree-lionsq-by-three-lions.html ). The Bailey project is something that Nigel has been working on for a few years. The band’s debut album “Long Way Down” was released in December.

_{I spoke to Nigel about both bands on 17th February and this interview was broadcast on the Friday NI Rocks Show on the 20th February at 9pm.
