THERE is a current trend amidst the depths of labels to sign anything with a faint hint of blues rock, and there will come a time when it reaches saturation point - thankfully for Welsh act, Buffalo Summer that point hasn't come.

_{Californian band Stitched Up Heart formed initially in 2010, but only came to my attention in October 2015 after being signed to Another Century Records. The video for the track “Finally Free” appeared in the “recommended” section of my YouTube page and when I checked it out I was instantly hooked. I bought the track from Amazon and immediately started playing it on the NI Rocks Shows on Rock Radio NI. When the band launched their Pledgemusic campaign for their debut album “Never Alone” I had no hesitation in pre-ordering it. The second release from the album was "Monster” which was made available to pledgers in April and has also been played quite a bit on the NI Rocks Shows. The album “Never Alone” was officially released on 17th June by Another Century Records.}
