Back in March we posted the first two parts of the video studio diaries from The Otherhalf. (You can see them here). Well, here are parts three and four. We didn’t know they were coming but I’m glad they’re here. The video diaries prove that you don’t need to be backed by a big record label to release excellent promotional material and some well produced entertainment. Check ‘em out below.

I was extremely shocked and saddened to hear of Drummer/DJ Stuart Cable’s death recently. I was lucky enough to see him perform several times with the Sterophonics and then, back in April, with his great new band Killing For Company. Killing For Company were supporting Welsh rockers The Alarm in Reading at the Sub 89 Club. They had only just released the debut album Lost Art of Deception which showed so much promise (and a heavier direction for Cable – Ed). The band were also booked to play in front of 100,000 rock fans at the Donnington Download Festival only a matter of days after Stuart passed away.
