This comes as the fourth single of Hamilton\u2019s 1221 project, in which he brings us twelve new songs, &#8211; an album-in-progress &#8211; one every month across the year of 2021.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>April brings us a cover of \u2018Satellite\u2019 by late nineties shoegazing\/ alternative rock band Catherine Wheel. For many, this could be an introduction to a group who had all the makings of eclipsing the likes of My Bloody Valentine and a certain Thom Yorke fronted combo back in the day. So what brought a band from Great Yarmouth, UK to the attention of the Texan?:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><i>\u201cI think it was 1997. Radiohead\u2019s \u2018Ok Computer\u2019 was EVERYWHERE. But right behind those guys, was a band called Catherine Wheel, and an album called \u2018Adam &amp; Eve\u2019. That album was BIG! here. In all the music magazines. I think maybe they get left out of the discussion because Radiohead was just THAT HUGE. But they deserve so much more attention, respect etc. They were &#8211; are &#8211; an incredible, and influential band.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hamilton\u2019s 1221 project kicked off in January 2021 with a cover of another 90s lost treasure, the Spin Doctors \u2018How Could You Want Him&#8230;\u2019, garnering much public praise from the band. Which begs the question &#8211; have any of Catherine Wheel heard your version of \u2018Satellite\u2019 yet?:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><i>\u201cThey actually have. I was able to get in touch with the guys from the band, and have struck up friendships with Brian and Dave. They all love the cover! Which, of course, feels amazing. I think I also get some extra cred with our tour manager Pam, who is the biggest Iron Maiden fan there is. It blew my mind to discover that Catherine Wheel\u2019s front man Rob is the cousin\u00a0<\/i><i>of Maiden singer<\/i><i>\u00a0Bruce Dickinson\u201d.<\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Featuring another lush production from stalwart collaborator Dave Draper, Hamilton\u2019s \u2018Satellite\u2019 sounds like a certified radio hit &#8211; 90s panache firmly intact, with a very \u2018now\u2019 sonic wrap.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The single\u2019s art is another striking image, Hamilton festooned in guitars looking like some kind of musical satellite about to get beamed into space&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><i>\u201cI had this idea about being surrounded by several different guitars\u2026 with no idea if it would actually work. But it turned out great! Side note: Having that many guitars strapped to you at once is REALLY HEAVY. I could barely move! Haha.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n<div><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<div>Further \u2018hardware\u2019 features in the accompanying video. With echoes of ET\u2019s ultimate quest &#8211; it finds Hamilton seemingly searching for a signal from the great beyond, roaming an empty field with a satellite dish and boombox in tow.<\/div>\n<div><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n<div><i>\u201cFor this video, I wanted to do something really simple, and \u201cSatellite\u201d related. I love simple, effective videos. I\u2019m having fun coming up with original concepts for the visuals on this project. Thankfully, with each new release, people have been responding in a really positive and great way.\u201d<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Hamilton was recently heralded by Spin magazine as one of the \u2018Best Lesser-Known Artists of the Last 35 Years\u2019.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>RYAN HAMILTON RELEASES \u201cSatellite\u201d, VIA WICKED COOLPRE-ORDER\/SAVE HERE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/orcd.co\/1221april\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/orcd.co\/1221april&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618160878349000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH1DnRaVQ5Bj6fIrcWaNDn7FEWJ6A\">https:\/\/orcd.co\/<wbr \/>1221april<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/unnamed-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15113 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/unnamed-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"621\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/unnamed-1.png 621w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/unnamed-1-291x300.png 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http:\/\/ryanhamiltonmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/ryanhamiltonmusic.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618160878349000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGMEJX-0HeL_HSkWlwAtB0T0eRH-g\">Website<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/theryanhamilton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/twitter.com\/theryanhamilton&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618160878349000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEyB4FzfC7lcBmLVwCYOIGLKrR_gQ\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a dir=\"ltr\" href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/theryanhamilton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/instagram.com\/theryanhamilton&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1618160878349000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG5Q33Mx9i31xhoVxEA0tbG2q84jQ\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>the latest single in Ryan Hamilton\u2019s 1221 album project &nbsp; &nbsp; With a 2021 launch schedule to rival even Elon Musk,\u00a0April\u00a012\u00a0sees Texan singer\/songwriter Ryan Hamilton release his very own \u2018Satellite\u2019.
