Lower Loveday say: "A musical storm is brewing - one that began in a Year 8 school talent show where Tom and Mark first started a band."

But it wasn't until they both randomly met while travelling in Australia that they decided to define the sound you hear today.

Taking influence from Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Blossoms, The Beatles, The Smiths and Foals, they say: "Songs just started falling out of the sky and into Tom's head and came out through his guitar.

"Now then that we have found our ideal guitarist and bassist, everything is set."

“Striking and powerful songs from some of the fastest growing stars on the local scene” - Andrew Marston.

BBC Music Introducing Musicians' Masterclass

It was the biggest new music business gathering to ever to be held in the UK, with more than 100 sessions and 250 speakers ensuring every aspect of the music business was covered.

Held across three days, Amplify offered exclusive access to the UK music industry’s biggest names through intimate talks, music masterclasses and recording workshops.

Our guest, this week, is the UK’s biggest-selling jazz artist of all time - Jamie Cullum - who also presents a weekly show on BBC Radio 2, which includes tracks sent into BBC Music Introducing.

Our tips for 'making it' in the record industry

We all know that listening to music too loud - or going to too many rock concerts in your youth - can damage your hearing later in life.

But it seems playing in an orchestra could be just as damaging.

On Wednesday, a viola player who suffered a life-changing hearing injury at a rehearsal of Wagner's Die Walkure in 2012 won a landmark High Court judgment against the Royal Opera House.

The case won by Chris Goldscheider has huge implications for the industry and the health and safety of musicians.

It is the first time a judge has scrutinised the music industry's legal obligations towards musicians' hearing.

At the end of February, we descended on a place that was once primarily a hotel to record our latest sessions.

But behind the doors of the The Swan in Strourport is not only a live performance space, that’s putting the town back on the musical map, but also a brand new recording studio.

We took along artists handpicked from the BBC Music Introducing uploader to perform in front of a live audience – and also for you!

Hailing from Bewdley, Violet Club is an explosive new band, combining many genres to create a punchy, familiar sound with some new twists.

"We've put together a sound, and show, thats all about audience enjoyment."

Their influences include "Every song the birds sing, every noise the train makes, every artist on the shelf and on the internet!"

A local history of great gigs and musical legends

Your next chance to catch some of the best new music in Herefordshire and Worcestershire live is in Pershore, at Number 8 Arts Centre, on Sunday, 29 April.

Handpicked artists from the BBC Music Introducing Uploader will perform live sets that will be broadcast throughout May.
