The_Public

The_Public “The public are a band of friends and brothers who have been writing and creating together for well over ten years. Their music is simple and fun, onward and charging but at the same time nostalgia and darkness wait in the wings aching to surface. Through a few listens an obvious difference in the writing partnership occurs. Sweet anthem chord structures and 'sing along' sections softly slide into heavy guitar carried ballads constantly surprising the ear.” D L Bannister

Livin' Joy

Livin' Joy is a house music group from Italy who released two successful dance hits in the nineties. In 1994, fronted by American lead singer Janice Robinson, they hit number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart with "Dreamer." The song turned out to be a mild sleeper hit on pop radio, finally entering the Hot 100 in early 1995. It peaked at number 72 and spent seventeen weeks on the chart. The song had a more successful run on the Official UK singles charts, hitting the number one spot after being re-issued (its original run in late 1994 had taken it to #18).
