Punches 'Give It Up'



Most days we listen to 95bFm's brilliant Morning Glory radio show, hosted by the velvet-voiced Charlotte Ryan. Magazine radio at it's best. Charlotte offers an open platform for new music so it is often where we hear new local tunes. This week we heard this from Punches James Duncan (guitar, vocals, bass) and Kelly Sherrod (vocals, guitar).  Many a great composer has said that keeping it simple is the key to a great song and Punches pull that punch with Give it Up. Beautiful singing is matched with perfectly weighted, simple, guitar licks within a tune that is unashamedly funereal in pace. Love it...
