Thank you for reading. Puffin Ethics here to inject some relatively interesting information into your lives.
At first, I shall introduce myself and my producer properly. I am Puffin Ethics, I am a rapper, I pride myself on writing substantial raps that hold more content than the content of my wallet, misogyny, and the occupational hazard of incessant homophobia. I love hip-hop, I love pop but I want something more in terms of meaning for my work. Turning your mind off and chilling out to some music is a valuable exercise but engaging in some topical debate and personal issues is equally so. Cal Real (of spanish pronunciation) is my producer extraordinaire. He is a crazy amazing talent and we write and create this music together. Its crafted from friendship and the determination to enjoy our lives, whilst realising what's going on around us. As pretentious as that sounds I promise its not. Honestly, we're no 'Foals'. Although I quite like Foals. Anyway, that's besides the point. Its class conscious music for anyone that enjoys a dance, or a think, or a nice time.
The last few weeks have been really fun and exciting. Music as a career is shaping up nicely - well much better than I would have expected for the limited amount of time its been my sole focus. A while ago I uploaded some tracks off our up and coming album 'No Trait' to BBC introducing. Two weeks later, I received an brilliantly surprising email that we had been broadcast on our local BBC radio station. Which you can find here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d72q
I was expecting to not hear back for a long time. Not even that, I then received an even more flattering email asking us to play at Nozstock for a BBC introducing Session. So we jumped at the chance. I attended Nozstock festival anyway as a punter, but to also play it was amazing. http://www.nozstock.com/ is where you can find details of that festival.
Anyway, we have now also been asked to finish our session for BBC introducing tomorrow at Malvern Rocks http://malvernrocks.com/ so that will also be amazing. Things are getting exciting and it's lovely. We are still working hard in the studio, and are looking around for more opportunities to get our music out there.
If you are a promoter and you like our sound https://soundcloud.com/puffin-ethics then we would be flattered to play for you or support a great act your putting on. Any bookings should be sent to puffinethics@gmail.com and I shall reply swiftly and politely.
If you are a person who isn't a promoter, please go check out the tracks too and let me know what you think.
A big thank you to Andrew Marston and the rest of the BBC introducing team and all those who have given us an opportunity or anyone who has listened to us and told their friends, if you haven't you should because honestly I'd really appreciate it.
Anyhow,
Have a lovely saturday and I shall be writing more about the album later.
All my thoughts,
Puffin Ethics
