Hi there,
Ears to the Skies is a new weekly show dedicated to providing the listener with a fresh take on the music world, as opposed to the stale and biased journalism that has become the standard in the United Kingdom.
The show is completely independently produced, so you can expect honest opinions on new music releases, and issues within the music industry.
Both hosts are passionate music listeners, almost to the point of geekery, and are always searching for new bands and artists to sink their earbuds into.
Michael Copus enjoys music from all walks of life, from bone crushing metal such as Pig Destroyer and ISIS to the lighter side of the spectrum such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor and a guilty pleasure for electronic music, most notably Amon Tobin.
Lee Smart is a self confessed indie lover, with an unhealthy obsession with The Enemy (he owns almost every item of memorabilia the band have released). He also enjoys other treats such as Hard Fi, Arctic Monkeys and Biffy Clyro. Unfortunately, there was a time when Lee had affections for rap artists such as 50 Cent, and suspicions are that he still secretly enjoys a bit of gangsta rhyme.
Between the two of them you can expect a vast array of music to be covered. We hope you enjoy the show, and encourage you to get in touch with us if you have any recommendations, questions, demos or ideas by emailing us at earstotheskiesATgooglemail.com.
Thanks for listening.
Mike and Lee
