[The] Music Of Sound continue their amazing 2025 with a short summer tour taking in Redhill, Hemel Hempstead, London, Woking and Brighton (with the possibility of additional dates). Singer Sherin says: ‘We are stoked to be heading out on tour to such exciting venues, most for the first time, and with stellar support acts every night’. The band’s new single Never Let It Die, described by Sherin as ‘our radiant riposte to all the racists and hatemongers’, is out now on Monochrome Motif Records, available to download from Bandcamp and due onto streaming channels from next week. The label has also created a limited edition UK Roadtrip EP that can only be purchased at the live shows (or by being a subscriber). It contains the last 4 singles and a remix due out in the Autumn. Details of the tour and tickets can be found here.

The transformational impact of South Indian singer Sherin joining The Music Of Sound has once again been reinforced by the performance of the band’s previous single Cold Weather Man. Having already amassed 18.7K streams, it was picked up by more playlists last week and it has now passed 25.3K streams

This comes just as the new single Love Me has once again been selected for the prestigious Roadtrip playlist plus the Morning Chill list and will be added to one of Adrian Garcia’s playlists on 7th April. With strong support from radio and online media for the single, this is all good news for the band who are managed and promoted by Trust The Doc Media.

In the meantime, the band have announced the first four dates for their July tour and will be announcing more dates in the coming weeks.

Buoyed by the success of the single Cold Weather Man and with new single Love Me picking up airplay and reviews, Music Of Sound have announced the first four dates on their summer 2025 UK tour. The tour will kick off on Saturday 5th July at Belfry Centre, Redhill, then 7th July at the Oddfellows in Hemel Hempstead and The Libra in Camden, North London on Tuesday 8th July. A 4th date in Brighton will be confirmed shortly. According to the band’s lead singer Sherin: ‘We are currently talking to booking agents and promoters to line up dates, ideally, in Cardiff, Portsmouth, Basingstoke and Leicester but there is potential for us to include a lot more venues. We are very excited as this will be the biggest tour we have been on so far’.

Look out for more news soon. We hope to be able to make an announcement in the next edition of the Trust The Doc blog on 31st March and across all the band’s social media pages.

The next edition of Trust The Doc is our 100th (centenary) and it will be a bumper issue full of features including guest articles by some of our esteemed friends from across the Independent Music Sector and a lot of additional features including a focus on 20 grassroots music acts. It will be published on 31st January 2025.

We are very happy to announce that, due to the ongoing momentum behind The Music Of Sound‘s current single #ColdWeatherMan, the band and their amazing label Monochrome Motif Records have agreed to put back the scheduled release of the next single while the extended campaign continues. Latest successes include BBC Introducing, BBC Orbit, airplay on over 80 radio shows internationally, a tonne of reviews and interviews and playlist adds including the massive Dreamwave Records’ Roadtrip Songs 2025 playlist. Singer Sherin adds ‘We are super excited that the new single is being put on ice thanks to the continuing activity around Cold Weather Man’. The Music Of Sound are planning another short UK tour in Spring 2025.

It has been a whirlwind few months for The Music Of Sound. The release of Sherin’s revocalising of First Light was followed by a short tour culminating in a barnstorming gig for Tony Hardy’s Fifty 3 Promotions at The Bedford in South London. In the meantie the new single You Lost Out has had generous airplay, a tonne of rave reviews, won over three SubmitHub curators and generated a lovely interview with Illustrate mag. Check out the video for You Lost Out here. And stream it here.

It includes reimaginings of the original album tracks by Minimums; The Happy Somethings; Paul F Cook, Andrew Hartshorn; Alien Alarms; Poetical Nadz; Arpraxis; Sharon Katta and Hello Midlands plus two remmixes by The Music Of Sound themselves.

It is with great excitement that I can announce that the end of year report and accounts for Operation New Music have been formally accepted by the Arts Council of England. So all focus is now on delivering the commitments given to the Arts Council of England and National Lottery for Year 2 which they have kindly provided further funding for. Although the current COVID 19 situation continues to frustrate my efforts to get live music events up and running again, the audience statistics for the radio and TV shows are a huge boost and I have been able to introduce new content onto Trust The Doc TV in late January. 2021 is set to be a very exciting year for all elements of Trust The Doc Media and Operation New Music. Your amazing support is an inspiration and I would like to thank everyone who continues to engage with these activities. Independent music has never been in a better state of health.
