Owz Hoskins
Tell All Your Friends I'm Famous!
Hoodlum Productionz - out now
YOU know when a friend of yours says, "I've made an album" and you sort of don't believe them?
Well I have to admit that's what happened to me when I first heard about Owz's debut EP.
But I am delighted to say that, of course, it wasn't a wind-up. The resulting five tracks are heartfelt and lovingly put together, particularly my favourite 'Here's To The End' which is haunting and really well-written, both lyrically and musically.
'Be All You Can' is a perfect ending to the EP which is over too quickly. Definitely want to hear more from this production unit in future.
Check out 'Tell All Your Friends…' at http://owzhoskins.bandcamp.com - it's one of those music sites where you nominate how much you'd like to pay for it. Producer Will Thomas, upon hearing that I'd paid a princely £5 for the EP, said: "My children will have wine!"
