The Bass That Lived Again: A Story of New Music 🎶
30 years ago Neill Austin bought a falling apart bass guitar for £20 in a UK pub and thought nothing of it. After years of recording bands, working as the head of production and presenter for Irelands first ever Alt Rock radio station (Phantom 105.2, post and pre pirate days) and DJing in Whelan’s on a Thursday night, it was rediscovered: Pulled from the attic to teach someone to play live forever. Feeling terrible it might be the last ever song this bass would play, to alleviate the guilt 5 tracks were written and recorded on it over the space of 6 months.

Passenger to Tamworth: A Rock EP That Commands Attention🎸
From the first note of “The Fates Lead Him Who Will… The Unwilling They Drag” Passenger to Tamworth draws you in and refuses to let go. The guitars are fast but full of soul, the drums hit with raw intensity, and the vocals feel like they’re whispering directly at you. It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s absolutely human. Each track carries an emotional weight that grabs your chest and forces you to pay attention, as if the band is speaking your unspoken thoughts.
What’s incredible is how the EP balances tension and release. Some moments make you pause to contemplate fate and struggle, while others turn into powerful, cathartic waves of sound. It’s a journey that feels simultaneously personal and universal. By the time it’s over, you’re not just listening—you’ve experienced it. Passenger to Tamworth proves that rock can still attack the soul, raw and unfiltered, making you think, feel, and maybe even change a little.
