Having left the forces in 2011, Josh Clarke decided to dedicate his time to learning the guitar, a decision that would soon transform his life and how he apparently spends 100% of his time.


After being denied any possible combo of the words “Josh”, “Clarke” and “music” for a YouTube channel name, the online video site threw out a list of alternative suggestions, one of which was remedysounds. And so the story behind the name is as simple as that. Since then however it has provided a name for a character that Josh becomes on stage calming his nerves and say things he wouldn’t otherwise say…

Josh and his friends alike may agree that he is strongly politically opinionated, outspoken on social justice and greed. He now tries to channel these messages into his music as he aims to subliminally plant his ideas whilst playing music that isn’t acceptable if it isn’t perfect. That is to say Josh is a perfectionist, but this shouldn’t be taken as a negative as his enthusiasm is unrelenting and inspiring.

RemedySoundsThe future is looking bright for Remedysounds, in the last few years he’s played countless gigs and festivals, including his highlight last year at Portsmouth’s Victorious Festival and an offer to go straight to the X-Factor Live Shows, which it should come as no surprise that he turned down.

Now working to complete a 10-track album, you can look forward to hearing more from Remedysounds all over the UK in 2015.

Jamin’ with Steve

by

A great time was had with Jamin’ with Steve at WMD less than 2 months after the duo formed.

Jamin’, a solo singer songwriter act and Steve having previously left another duo met after they both performed at the same open mic night.

It didn’t take long after getting together for them to decide they needed to keep it going as a duo when the compliments and good feedback started pouring in.So far the pair have been touring the local open mic seen as well as hitting the streets of Hampshire where their new co-written songs are going down a treat.

They’re also planning the recording of their upcoming EP so that gives us all something to look forward to this year!

You can check out one of the songs from Jamin’ with Steve’s podcast session at WMD right here as well as an interview with the guys on the day. You’ll also be able to catch the rest of their set soon so make sure you  so you don’t miss it!

Enjoy!

Got 2 Funk live at WMD, it’s time to get FUNKY!

by

Mothers lock up your daughters, husbands lock up your wives, because Got 2 Funk is in the building and you guessed it, it’s time to get funky.

What makes a good cover band is not simply being able to recreate the patterns of different inspirations; it is the ability to capture the energy and true feel of a song. Here at WMD we have had the pleasure of working with a cover band that perfectly balances the energy of the songs they cover with their own personal flair, resulting in sweet music that will have your hips moving before you know it.

Got 2 Funk joined us for a day of live recording where they covered a variety of funk/soul hits, during which they blew us all away with their performance; no man, woman or child can sit still once Got 2 Funk start to get their funk on.

With inspirations such as McFadden & Whitehead, The Commodores and James Brown, Got 2 Funk are one of the true gems of South Coast cover bands and here at WMD we strongly recommend you pay this truly great band a visit when they play a show near you.

Sam Brawn Live at WMD Studios

WMD Studios are proud to present…

Sam Brawn: Video Podcast, Live at WMD Studios

“On my 12th birthday my dad gave me his beaten up old electric guitar because he couldn’t afford to buy me a present. Turned out to be the greatest present ever. Since then I’ve been mainly locked away in a log cabin, writing songs and teaching myself to play. I aim to surprise people with my music, give them a reason to come back and listen again. And, hopefully, again. And possibly even a fourth time, in exceptional cases. Hopefully what comes across is just how much I love doing it. Which is always going to be more important than singing in tune or writing lyrics that make sense.”, Sam Brawn

Sam Brawn is a solo artist in that it’s only him on his own. But you wouldn’t believe it to listen to his tunes! His creative use of effects and loop pedals mean that at any particular time you could easily believe that there is a band of 5 or more people. Also we took the opportunity to stretch the green screen’s legs a little more and the result is our best video yet and Sam was fantastic in getting out of the box to get some of the crazier shots on the go. It was such an immense evening filming the podcast with Sam, original sounds and a great guy.
