SIMON MAGGS & PEOPLE LIKE US
“The essence of northern kitchen-sink Indie at its best.” The Musical Road
A blend of carefully crafted, literate, melodic indie-tinged folk, weaving in a little jangly guitar and violin with the occasional touch of kitchen sink drama. Marked by wry lyrical, storytelling rich with themes drawn from everyday life – sometimes tender, sometimes amusing, sometimes satirical, sometimes political, always relatable.
LATEST RELEASE - THE OCEAN
The new six-song EP about hesitation, hindsight and the moments where life could’ve gone another way. Clean guitars, strings and pedal steel carry deceptively cheerful melodies, while the songs
themselves wrestle with regret, nostalgia and quiet responsibility. From sliding-doors decisions inspired by Wile E. Coyote’s glance downward, to generational apologies, drifting friendships, memories of mixtapes and the stubborn refusal to play crowd-pleasing covers.
