The third full-length offering from British born songwriter Southway was recorded in a variety of hotel rooms and bedrooms in South Korea whilst touring Asia. On Suitcase, Southway, a seasoned multi-instrumentalist/producer and longtime San Francisco resident, exposes his powerful voice and songwriting expertise from a palette of raucous guitars reminiscent of the glory days of Brit-pop before Radiohead discovered drum machines and the Gallagher brothers Oasis had bank accounts. The resulting 11 tracks are modern rock fueled by the road and lost love, but with Southway's perpetual optimism, there's always a chance that good times are right round the corner.

Noise-musician makes a pop record

Shaw used to play in a band called Railcars, who the Deli seems to love. Shaw has also been interviewed by the Deli, which was kind of awkward because he was a little drunk at the time. Now, Shaw makes music in the comfort of a bedroom (the same one where Cathedral With No Eyes was recorded). Shaw's new 5-song EP is titled "Pretending We're Not Animals," and talks are already underway to release a 7" in January with a locally recognized label. Thanks a lot, Deli!
