Mark Aston
All The Roads

unsigned

WE SAY

We've been championing British singer songwriter Mark Aston for some time so it was gratifying to receive one of the first copies of his debut solo album proper (there was an earlier, mostly acoustic album). It's produced by Martin Slattery who worked with Joe Strummer before Joe's death but what's most striking for us is the quality of the songwriting. These are anthems, full of great hooks and lyrics with universal resonance, brilliantly sung. Mark is available for publishing and records.
