Each week, one of our contributors will recommend an artist/band they think deserves to be brought to your attention. No record labels, PR companies, bands or bands management will ever have made these recommendations. It is simply one music fan putting their taste on the line in the hope of sharing good music. The questions have been designed so that they can’t waffle on and on about themselves and to just give you the reader/listener the basics.
So without further ado, let’s crack on with this week’s introduction, in which Silent Radio’s Jack Carolan recommends Gnodfor your audible delectation.
Chris Haslam from Gnod

Born in Oldham, raised in North Manchester. I now live at Islington Mill in Salford.
