My Luminaries’ Charitable Release ... Let The People Decide

Let The People Decide is a 7 track live album charting Reading band My Luminaries last year of touring across the UK and Europe. It is a download only release, which can be purchased via a donation of the buyers discretion. 50% of proceeds go straight back into the Reading branch of Billy Bragg's Jail Guitar Doors campaign, following on from this year's festival at the Fez Club, which raised £2000 to buy musical instruments for inmates at HMP Reading Young Offender's Institute.

Funds raised from this album are essential to putting the campaign's previous results into action through in-prison tuition, workshops, prisoner led concerts and much more. For information on its proven benefits towards increasing self esteem and decreasing re-offending please see the JGD Reading myspace site or Billy Bragg's nationwide Jail Guitar Doors site (link below).

My Luminaries are Ready to Release

Dust out your wallets - My Luminaries' CD release is in 21 days. The full length cd is set for an April 16th release. This cd will be the buzz of 2007!

Wondering what My Luminaries sound like? Here are some comparisons:

Twin Peaks with guitars...

In places it's like The Arcade Fire if they’d been inspired by a series of weddings rather than funerals. Elsewhere, Pavement on amphetamines...

The Knack being produced by Brian Eno...

The anthemic moroseness of Radiohead, blended with The Libertines' ragged urchin spirit and a dash of Arcade Fire quirkiness. The results are powerful and uplifting, but also, crucially, original and a little different to anything else out there at the moment...

What do you get when you combine The Icicle Works, 54-40 and U2? You get the Reading, Manchester band, My Luminaries.

I know the band’s comparison I’ve listed sounds like an odd mix, but I could hear all sorts of interesting band ‘sounds’ while listening to the track,The Outsider Steps Inside.

I enjoyed the song with one listen. I don’t know if I happened to be in the right mood for a new song, or if the song is simply that good/catchy, so you will have to judge for yourself. (And I have to admit, I was impressed with the band’s musical tastes as listed on their buzznet blog. Can’t think of a band they listed that I didn’t like.)

My Luminaries cd will be released on April 2/2007. Go to their site on myspace; download some music, and don’t forget to buy (and spread the word) as well.
