Uploaded this EP, classic Barnsley metalcore.

I have a great friend, 73 year old Earl Bigelow. I could go on for awhile but to sum it up Earl is an incredible human. He has lived a long life of adventure, had stories for days, and now owns a studio that has brought my entire community together. I have known him since a young age, he has guided me on my musical journey and has been somewhat of a second father to me.

Over the years I have been finding countless tapes, albums worth of beautiful, fully fledged recordings spanning from the mid 70s up until now. NONE of this music has seen much of an audience, and I believe it deserves too. Each song tells the story of his exciting life, his connection with the water that he lived on, and the farm fields he grew up in. His lyrics are poetic, and well written. The songs are very creative, with lots of parts, amazing guitar solos, and best of all his soulful voice. There is also a large amount of live recordings from his semi professional gigging days where the band is absolutely ripping.

He has told me he didn't take the steps that could have lead to fame, and I respect that. Either way I believe his music could move a lot of people, and be held to a high standard in the musical world.

I have made a Youtube channel where i'am carefully documenting a lot of these incredible songs most of which are pulled from old tape. There is a lot up now with playlists helping to organize the years, and there is MUCH more to come!

We live in an age where he can now see an audience, and his music can now be heard by the world. It would mean everything to me if all us music lovers go check him out, and I know it would mean so much to him!!
