We recently annonced that Stylusboy would be releasing a new EP at the beginning of June, and we're absolutely delighted with the response we've received from the online press.

Both AAA Music and God Is In The TV Zine have introduced Steve Jones (aka Stylus Boy) to their readers, giving them the lowdown on Steve's history, the tracklisting for his upcoming EP Whole Picture and the chance to listen and download the EP's title track absolutely free.

Taking it one step further are the people at Fame Magazine, who have also written a feature about Steve's upcoming EP, but have also included his previous release for their readers to listen to and a video of Stylusboy's gorgeous rendition of Idlewild's When I Argue I See Shapes. If you fancy listening to Stylusboy's Blue Whale Session, and watch him leave his mark on a classic track, get yourself over there.

Stylusboy interviewed by Crave.



Stylusboy is currently laying the groundwork for his upcoming EP, Whole Picture, but that doesn't mean he's too busy to talk about the finer things in life, or in this case: food.

Steve sat down with one of the lovely people at Crave and talked them through his dietary habits while on tour. With healthy portions of buffalo mozzarella, and talk of a feta cheese sandwich with carrot pickle, you may want to make sure the fridge is stocked before reading the article.
