We just discovered this amazing rock piece, “It’s Automatic,” by a British artist called EJ Mann. This is one of those rare songs that just leave you stuck on repeat for a long long time! EJ Mann has one of the richest rock voices we have heard in months and his performance on this track was more than professional which shows how skilled he is. The lyrics are original, meaningful and well written and the production is polished and sounds very professional. The guitars and drums are powerful and very enjoyable and the melody is so beautiful, it’s like the cherry on the top of this song’s lyrical meaning. This incredible song was a great experience for our team and we are very excited to see where EJ Mann’s career will go over the next coming months!
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
“. . . A tune-smith of the highest order” BBC Radio 1
Great quote that isn’t? Yeah, it always graces the CV, really adds some zing to proceedings don’t you think?
Well, truth be told, it’s a little old. You see, I’ve been doing this song-writing thing for quite some time now. . .
It’s the late 90’s, all Britpop, indie rock, boot cut jeans and Clarks Wallabees. We have HMV, CD’s, Oasis and Ocean Colour Scene. Myspace is the place to be and I’m in a band called “The Minority”.
My weapon of choice is a cheap as chips Fender Stratocaster copy and to be honest, we’re not a lot to get excited about. “We’ll have to forget the piano part cos we ain’t got a keys player lads” yep, that about sums up the early stages of my musical career.
Let’s move things along a smidge. A couple of line-up and name changes later and we’re in to the new millennium . . .
“The Call” is born (we later find out an American outfit have the same name so the writing was probably already on the wall) but it turns out that we’re not bad.
We are play-listed on BBC Radio 2, share the bill with The Who at the 02 Wireless festival and during a BBC Radio 1 fans poll we are described by THAT quote above. Good times!
So, we didn’t quite achieve worldwide acclaim and eventually the wheels started to fall off.
Life just gets in the way sometimes, so due to nothing in particular and after a whole decade of grafting we decided to split.
So, give up? Forget it? Sell the guitars? Erm no, not really. It still stands – I’m a tune smith and I reckon I’m not bad at this.
Finding my feet as a solo artist saw the release of an EP and an experimental recording session in LA with esteemed producer Jeff Blue. All great experiences, but not where I wanted to go musically.
Up to press I’ve written hundreds of songs (some great, some terrible), played as many shows, recorded both sides of the Atlantic, been in bands, slept in vans, worked part-time jobs, left Yorkshire for London, won some and lost some.
I’ve been offered deals, I’ve been turned down LOADS, nearly quit, didn’t quit, worked hard, met some great people and realised that music is something I’ve got to do.
In simple terms, I’m going to make good music and share it.
Which brings us all here – right here, right now. It’s taken a lifetime. . . and where exactly are we?
Well, in the grand scheme of things – This Is Nowhere

I was researching the internet for some information since yesterday night and I finally found this! This is a impressive webpage by the way, except it appears a little hard to see in my verison phone.
