My guest today is musician Pete Thompson! He is the singer & guitarist for the UK band "The Magic Es". They just released a brand new single called "Melody Jane". It is the first of many great tracks of theirs that are coming our way over the next few months, and it is featured here today! This band delivers guitar driven pop and their influences are based on The Who, The Undertones, and The Jam to name just a few. I love this first track and can't wait to hear what's next. In addition to the band, Pete also runs "Oh Mercy! Records". He has some great artists on the label. We also talked about life in the UK and the state of the music business. Learn more at www.wearemagic.uk and their Facebook page. You can also follow the band on Twitter, and download your own copy of Melody Jane at Bandcamp. This is definitely a band to watch, and I am honored to be among the first to share them with you. If you reach out to Pete, please let him know that you heard him here. Enjoy!
