here are three songs from my new album meltdown for the mindless and one song from my last album stay deep in the music and i hope you don't mind if i just get this stuff off my chest when you are surrounded by materialism there are only three options 1) do nothing 2) join the reptiles 3) become a part of the resistance when the radio won't play your records make more music when the journalists regard you as irrelevant become more vulnerable and sensitive music is not a weapon designed to humiliate, degrade and exclude people music is soul all musicians who believe in sharing their music as a bridge between the different worlds and cultures stay strong and focused be the heart and soul of the music resistance when the music industry experts and moguls slap you in the face with their realities thank them for making the music resistance stronger and truer remember one musician is worth 10 muisc industry moguls music belongs to the people not the wheels of the media or music industry music is good in music we trust

I have tried to write songs. Songs that matter to people. Songs that help people get through the day. I have not focused that much on trying to sell the records. I believed that if I wrote the right song then the rest would take care of itself. I still believe it. I still think that if a song is right it will find some way of getting out there into people’s heart and soul. On bad days though I think that maybe I’m far too naïve and that the only way people will hear a song is if I shout loud enough so that people listen to it. All I know is I need to sell records and I want to sell records. Most of my time has been spent writing, recording or gigging. I have spent very little time networking with journalists or A&R people. I want to connect with people who love music. I want to connect with people who want to let people know about music. Unfortunately music industry people seem to be under so much pressure to always come up with the lowest common denominator that they struggle to look for anyone who has talent in their own right. This is not a rant it’s just the way it is. Record companies don’t want artists they want blank pieces of paper. When they realise that people are not buying records they will suddenly become all enlightened. I can’t wait for that day. In fact I should write a song about it. The main reason why I make music is because I love writing and singing. It is also very good for me. It’s hard to explain but it helps me survive in life. It started when punk was happening. to read more go to www.petercoyle.com in the biography section
