'No Trait', Update and Spoken Word.

Hey!

So since finishing my degree in Sociology at the University of Leicester I have been getting on with a life without education or rather without formal education. This has possibly been the most schooling period of my life to date. I'm having to organise myself in a way that is as effective as possible as I'm juggling a few things. Mostly it is writing the end of the album, recording it, promoting it, and trying to find a job that still allows me to do this. Job searches take a long time, more than I would have imagined. I am trying to increase my skill set by doing a great Leicester University course in Online Networking and Employability it has been really helpful and it is the reason that got me started on this blog and I'm really enjoying it. I have some news about what I've been doing and how my music career is taking off. I've spent around 2 months promoting it and have had some movement and feedback. Here is where I'm at. 

'No Trait' is the debut album from - me - Puffin Ethics and Cal Real. 
It should be pretty good if I don't say so myself. It's been around 1 and 1/2 since we laid
down the first scratch track that made it to the final cut. We are putting together the last
3 or 4 tracks at the moment. It's pretty much all written and ready to go but a lot of our
writing takes place during recording so there's a while to go but it should be available in
late September. Watch @puffinethics for updates. 

The single 'Kick it'  from the album which premiered on Takeover Radio Leicester, and was played on BBC Hereford & Worcester is available for streaming on https://soundcloud.com/puffin-ethics

Do take a listen if you have sometime.


In lead up to the completion of the album I have been doing a few magazine interviews. A notable interview was conducted for Gravity Serpent Zine http://gravityserpent.wordpress.com/tag/gravity-serpent-zine/ it's a small independant zine that's up and coming so I thought it would be nice to be involved in something from its genesis. 
It should be in an up and coming issue, I appreciate all those involved in getting me involved.


I'm looking for more platform's in which to promote music so if anyone reading this that enjoys my music has a music blog or anything similar I'd love to speak to you. 

I have recorded a couple of Vlogs and a spoken word video to promote the album which shall be available on my youtube account soon. I have a few spoken word videos up at the moment which may be of interest for you.  http://www.youtube.com/puffinethics
