There's now a 25 minute long RFM show devoted to Sharp Practise and Nigel Clothier. It's available to download from YouSendIt.
Sharp Practise formed in 1999 and has released three albums, Hiya (2000), Radiocity (2005) and Banging The Rocks (2009). We have won several awards, including a Kweevak Award in 2006 and a UK New Music Award in 2007.
This is the initial reaction to our new album, Banging The Rocks:
If this is the notoriously difficult third album, the first two must have been a breeze. Sharp Practise play classic English rock, with more than a nod towards folk and blues. The emphasis on Banging The Rocks is on songs, hook laden and heartfelt. Beautifully played, sang and produced it's the ideal travelling companion.
Ten years and still going strong, Sharp Practise have conjoured another melodic and simple album that’d easily sit alongside most MOR rock albums of the last decade. It’s constantly chipper, catchy, uplifting, conscientious (songs cover the environment, growing up, and even European history) with light touches, wit and summery sounds of a tight and smiling band.
I simply like you. You have a personal perspective. Sharp Practise is a band that could sparkle at the Little River Band end of the harmony led rock market. Banging The Rocks certainly has its moments with some clever word plays and gentle catchy choruses that would stand repeated scrutiny on the radio.
There is a good mix of ballads, and more lively tracks on the CD.Loving the production, clean! Ooh, and the vocals of course... and keyboards.....drums....blimey, all of it! Screw The Earth is something Joni Mitchell could have written.

Sharp Practise have proven ourselves adept at loud'n'hooky rockers, brash and moving anthems and plaintive guitar pop, with clean hooks and lyrics filled with imagery. We stand for an interesting mixture of all rock styles, no matter if classic rock, blues or folk. And we stand especially for one thing: insanely catchy melodies! | | | | There are also a number of qualities in the group, foremost of which is a certain personality and a sense of responsibility. We lead our career with flair and good sense as a genuine global group. Sharp Practise is a cool and inspiring outfit. We are doing the whole rock thing just as we see and feel it. We aren't just following trends, we're setting our varied stall out and saying 'hey, we're Sharp Practise, come inside, sit down, relax and enjoy what we do'.
