Been quiet here for a few days as I have been busy recording new tunes for my upcoming EP. I have also been planning new projects that will come to fruition a bit further down the line. Thank you to everyone for your continued support. #SynthPop #independentartist #independentmusician

Probably the first #punkeock album I ever purchased way back then. An absolute classic and still sounding fresh and vital after all these years from one of the greatest punk bands ever. #albumoftheday #ramones #newwave

Shoutout to Nadine de Macedo for adding my latest tune “With You” to this rather tasty playlist. Not only is she a super talented producer and artist in her own right, but she also wonderfully supports fellow musicians with killer playlists, rather like this one. open.spotify.com/playlist/3Ws...

What in fresh hell’s, God’s name is this? The Kind Machine buys new (cheap) gear, and it’s NOT a synth! Well, all will be revealed some time relatively soon(ish). I feel a new project coming on 😁.

#albumoftheday is back! Bit of an odd one, not featuring a single band, but a compilation. I brought this LP when I was a teenager and it represented the first #punk #newwave music I ever heard. From that moment was hooked, the record contains tracks from so many brilliant bands from that era!

Taken a few days out but have now started to record new music. Not sure if I will release an EP or individual singles, but three songs are already written. “The Sun Got In The Way”, “Land Of The Wounded People” and “Last Light After Us” are working titles for the 3 songs.

The Kind Machine @thekindmachine.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Picked up this beauty recently. A classic #punkrockalbum. Poly Styrene does not get the credit she deserved in my view as a pioneer for the punk movement. “The Day The World Turned Day-Glo” is one my favourite songs from that era. #newwave #70music #punkrock

A blast from my past. I loved this record and band when it was first released. The rather straight demeanour displayed by Ron Mael on piano cracked me up every time they appeared on TOTP’s. A truly classic album of its time. #artpop #artrock #glamrock #synthpop #newwave

This band was an absolute favourite during the #punk & #postpunk period. The first album was a corker and this follow up hit the spot as far as I was concerned. It’s a shame “5 Minutes didn’t make this album. When I’m feeling slightly angry, this is a go to album. #newwave #pubrock #artrock

I have often said that the best #ultravox line up included John Foxx. Not to say the inclusion of Midge Ure did not have its moments. This album contains a few gems. “The Voice” & “The Thin Wall” are top tracks, with the brilliant Billy Currie on board. #newwave #synthpop #newromamtic #80music

One of my favourite bands from the early 80s. This is probably their most successful and best album. They had a great fusion of soul & pop and were often a bit avant garde, which result in some great tunes and 3 UK top 20 hits. #pop #synthpop #80smusic #artpop #sophistipop

I must confess to not being too enamoured with #TheSmiths back in the day, but now recognise their true genus. This is where it all began of course. It retrospect, probably one of the most influential bands to emerge from the 80s. #indiepop #indierock #postpunk #janglepop

So today’s listening fun comes from the debut album from #bigcountry. One of Scotland’s finest bands, love the guitar tones and find it shocking personally, as no synths were harmed in the making of this record (yup, I’m a synth guy 😂). #newwave #postpunk #celticrock #80smusic
