Toby Jepson

Toby Jepson releases his brand new solo album 'Raising My Own Hell' on Monday 25th November 2013 via Townsend Records. This new mini album sees the former Little Angels frontman retain his rock sensibilites with an acoustic edge and a brilliant live vibe that captures the essence of Toby Jepson in 2013. “'Raising my own hell' is the result of getting older and hopefully a bit wiser. It's perhaps closer to my own kind of truth, my own kind of anger, my own kind of love. It's unkempt, lumpy, brash, shouty and angry but it's also tender, sympathetic and questioning, so I hope the balance is about right...I am a libran after all. I've simply gathered six tunes I liked and done the best I could with them in the time available with some cool friends who were generous enough to indulge me for a short while.” 'Shadow Boxing', which is taken from the new album, is now available as a free download here - http://www.tobyjepson.com/site/index.php/free-download “I'm giving away the last, and probably weirdest song from the collection, 'Shadow Boxing' as a taster. It was fun recording it and is primarily about the difficulty of facing ones self; the fight we all have inside ourselves to know who we are, and the difficulties of owning up to our mistakes...it's also about fighting back, not taking everything at face value, being a maverick, raising my own kind of hell...enjoy it if you can.” Raising My Own Hell tracklisting Raising My Own Hell Dear Mama Patience Of A Saint Four Letter Word Shoes Shadow Boxing UK Tour Dates 2013 Toby kicks off his UK tour on November 27th which will see him performing Little Angels classics, tracks from his solo career back catalogue PLUS songs from 'Raising My Own Hell'. Always one to keep in touch with his fan base, the Lincoln born, Yorkshire raised singer / songwriter and producer will be making the most of his time out on the road and interacting with those coming to the shows. "I insist that you come armed with a question or two about my music. There'll be 3 methods of questioning me: Text, Twitter and a book at the merch desk. I'll do my best to entertain you with stories and as much music as I can muster!" A busy and successful year for Toby, it follows 2012 which saw his former chart topping rock band, Little Angels, reunite for a one off show at Download Festival and a run of sell out UK shows, culminating in the bands final performace at the Isle Of Wight Festival in June 2013. Now focusing on his solo career and production work, Toby is quickly being recognised as the 'go to' producer and mentor for exciting new rock bands. His production work includes The Virginmarys (2013 Classic Rock Magazine award winners) Toseland (new rock band fronted by former world superbikes champion James Toseland) Irish rockers The Answer and most recently, UK classic rock band The Brew.
