   About Paul Steel






'April & I' Reviews:


"The debut from wunderkind Paul Steel is a veritable masterwork of pop brillance. Ten tracks that segue seamlessly to make one 27-minute song. April & I tells the tale of a boy, his imaginary friend, and the struggles of growing up. Playful melodies and lush harmonies abound among orchestral swells, traditional piano and guitar, and even a dance party electronic romp. In synthesizing a history of pop from The Beach Boys to latter day groups like The Posies and Jellyfish, Paul Steel has created the perfect headphone symphony. (www.myspace.com/paulsteel)" 8 blips out of 10
- Under The Radar Magazine

"April & I is perfection. The best album since Brian Wilson’s Smile. Honestly. Buy it now."
- The London Paper
Quotes:


A triumph of reason and passion for a writer at any age, but most impressive for an 18-year old. Filled with epiphanies that lead him in a totally individual direction.
- Van Dyke Parks

This kid is really sweet, and has some interesting chord changes and melodies. His songs are very ambitious, and their best moments sound a bit like Queen meeting the Beach Boys in the bedroom of a 15 year old boy wearing batman pyjamas. Certainly a talent.
- Sean Ono Lennon

Paul is most definitely a major songwriting talent and a totally realised producer. His understanding of arrangement is beyond question. This is very special music.
- Sean O'Hagan, The High Llamas.

Gorgeous music. Are you really as young as they say..? If so, there's hope yet.
- Wondermints

Paul Steel rules. This is amazing work
- Iain Archer, former Snow Patroller and Ivor Novello Award-winning songwriter.

In A Coma just @$%^&* freaked me out!! Holy @$%^&* bananas!! The ending killed me. Dude, I raise the goblet of pop high in the air and toast thee venerable knight that conquers melody and harmony like a dragon slayer. Here here. WTF??
- Nelson Bragg, artist and Brian Wilson band member.

Paul Steel produces the sweetest, richest, most glorious pop music of the 21st century. A shining star in the musical firmament.
- Ralph Brown, actor and musician.

Just lazily misreading that quote from Nelson Bragg. I was very impressed that your great art could turn Melvyn Bragg into such a sweary man till i realised my error. Mind you I'm sure you could make Melvyn swear if you put your mind to it. Stuff the majors, put it out yourself and move to Manchester. Melvyn Motherchuffing Bragg swearing on your profile. One day, I'm sure. Weren't you going to do me a jingle ??

Hey Paul, wanted to thank you so much for the cd. I will cherish it my whole life long.

I'm currently making a music video today. It's going to be very Ex Otago like. Also, my indie pop band is suddenly very popular (i don't know where all this attention has come from honestly)

But anyway! Just wanted to let you know, I've still got your mailing address, and I'm inching ever closer to the day when I can send it! (As soon as I acquire a few thousand dollars of course!)

DEVIANT Rock Club - Brighton's #1 Rock Club!





Jul 10 2008 11:28 AM

THIS FRIDAY, DEVIANT GOES TO HELL! This is a night not to be missed!

Dress to impress and join us this Friday the 11th July as Deviant pays homage to the fiery abode of misery and torment. On entry, all those who demand “Open the gates of Hell” will receive a free Satanic Shot to begin their night of debauchery. For those that dare we will have a Satanic face painter to make you look the part and really set the scene.

As the night heats up you’ll be swept into the depths of Hell for a night you won’t soon forget.

We know you naughty beings like your alcohol, so we’ve devised some fiendish drinking games that definitely aren’t for the weak! Don’t let your sinful greed get the better of you though, you have a wickedly long night ahead of you yet.

We have the Hellish delight of entertainment from divine temptress and fire-breathing extraordinaire, Flame, who will indulge your wicked senses with a show of fire and flesh. Let her take you out of this world and into another, sinfully pleasing you with her erotic and fiery performance.

And as if all that wasn’t enough, we’ve also lowered the entry fee! For one night only entry will be just £3 for the entire night! And we’re staying open till the sinfully late hour of 5am, so that you can stumble out of our replication of Hell into the light of dawn. With all of these Devilish delights, we just hope you survive until then...

"You are given a one pound coin"

I see what you are all thinking....You walk into the iTunes Store and see a generous amount of "I's" and "Tunes" fluttering around like Great Crested Grebes. Well in fact, its that overwhelmed by Marmite that its difficult for the Great Crested Grebes to get a look in.

It merely comes down to whether you would prefer to spend your designated pound coin on Marmite or as you may well know our iTune 'Play The Game' which clocks in at a miniscule 79p. Leaving you with 21p to spend on a pack of home brand crisps which are often referred to as potato chips in America.

Now your mission statement is to either Love it or Hate it and indeed go ahead and buy it.

'Play The Game' out on iTunes now!
