The Photocopies: it seems I write about Sean Turner’s band every single week. Well this time I think it makes all sense to do it. He has a new CD that is coming out on December 2 on Discos de Kirlian. It is a collection of 26 songs titled “Wrong Century”. It includes a bunch of covers too, including the TVPs, Primal Scream and Kylie Minogue!
Reina Republicana: I haven’t been following the Pamplona band for many years. It was nice to hear them again, as their music is up now on Bandcamp. Yeah, their 2012 debut album released by Limbo Starr is up and I am really enjoying it again. Copies of the record are still available.
Herr Wade: “Willkommen Zurück” is a new 4 song Christmas EP from the band formed by Sebastian Voss and Jørn Åleskjaer. The release is available on CD starting November 22nd. It comes with beautiful art by Roberto Chessa. A must have for the holiday season!
The Catherines: another band that is back is Hamburg’s The Catherines. They have just released a new single titled “But Sundays are the Best” which as usual is a top poppy song. This song will be included in the upcoming album “Wanna Meet Our Neighbours?” to be released in 2023.
My Raining Stars: and lastly this top release, “The Life We Planned EP”! So good! 5 songs that were recorded during the sessions of their album “89 Memories”. Thierry Haliniak band is top class on this record that is now on Bandcamp and that he has promised that it wont be on digital platforms. Very recommended!

Now to Australia. Where in Australia? Not sure. This is another find on Soundcloud and thanks to stoneeyedkiller who posted this song first on his excellent Youtube channel.
The one and only song that has been uploaded to Soundcloud by this band is called “Stay with Me” and dates from 1988. We know that this song was part of a cassette, as we see a photo of a tape uploaded along the song, where it shows that it was the second song on this particular side of the cassette. The first track was called “Tracey” but it hasn’t been uploaded.
“Tracey” is credited to Kieran Butler for words and music. “Stay with Me” to Sean Pentecost and Chris Collins for words and music. The three of them were members of the band. Anthony Simmons, Russell Taplin and Rob Philpot completed Inside Out.
The only other details we know about this tape is that it was mixed and engineered by Mark Forrester at Platinum Australia in August 1988. There is a Platinum Studios in Melbourne. Maybe then the band hailed from there?
The uploader of this song was Chris Collins. He has also uploaded some other songs to his account and they are all titled “Lockdown”. Most probably these were recorded at the height of the pandemic.
There is a Kieran Butler, that I think could be the same Kieeran Butler. He is a comedian, musician and satirist that has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He also has had a stand up show called “Collingwood Ruined my Life” that seems was quite successful. Is he the same one as in Inside Out?
I want to think Rob Philpot is an uncommon name. If that is so, I found an Australian Rob Philpot that was co-owner of a company called Aconex that was sold to US tech giant Oraccle in 2018. Could that be him?
Same with Sean Pentecost. Must be an uncommon name. Sadly I find that a drummer called Sean Pentecost, also known as “Seanheist”, died in 2020. That’s sad news. He seems he had a good career in a nu-metal band called Seanheist between 1994 and 2004.
And that’s what I could gather on my detective work. Maybe I got the wrong people, I am just making conjectures here. There is very little info about this band Inside Out. But it is clear to me that they had more songs, so I hope we get more details about them in the future.
