By Jon Milton I think its fair to say that TV Priest have made a bit of a splash. The band have released two excellent singles in the last three months - their debut 'House of York' contemplating the role of the monarchy and how the ruling classes rewrite history for their own convenience, and their latest single 'Runner Up' considering how destination addiction fuels the capitalist dream for the many to benefit the few. All thoroughly thought provoking themes, backed by strikingly impressive music. Its early days admittedly, but they could be one of the best new artists to emerge in 2020.  The band describe Runner Up on their socials as being about 'white goods, work ethic, guilt, game shows, not dancing at the Christmas party' 4 car garages, meal deals, spam folders, lotteries, carrots and sticks'. An intriguing list which I asked lead singer Charlie to elaborate on:
Runner Up address feelings and patterns of lived experience as a citizen of a globalised, late capitalist nation. The ‘perpetual motion’ of this economic model feeds a sense of the inadequate in the individual and seeks to rob us of deeper human connections with people, places, and objects in the drive to generate vast incomes for a tiny percentage of the population. Despite getting that new shirt, new job, or new car it’s never quite enough, the true object of you affection remains just out of reach, the latest model upgraded before your very eyes. And yet the model forces us to be complicit and turn hypocrite. As we upload this song we directly, all be it incrementally, help the revenue streams of homogeneous multinational corporations whom have little real interest in ‘connecting’ people beyond establishing data sets that help in predictive behaviour ‘markets’. This song was written as a response to that; a patchwork of observations on what it is to live and work in a pre-pandemic Britain. Perhaps a Britain that may no longer exist. With House of York also focusing on some detailed subject matter, I asked Charlie what other subjects influenced the bands' song-writing, and if there were any matters that they've not as yet covered but may include in the future: As we've progressed as a group we try not to over analyse how we come up with subject matter, its really about lived experiences, research, and internal thought processes. I think art is often about trying to communicate something you couldn't just say in words, that you're kind of seeking to manifest something that is perhaps 'beyond' yourself. However, I do think we've been quite conscious about making sure there is a level of directness in either the lyrics or the intent and energy of the song. We've written songs about the passage of time and age, about responsibility (to your self and to others), history, politics, the internet, family, and our relationship with the city. During Mental Health Awareness Week the band mentioned that mental health was a subject close to their hearts. With mental health very much on peoples minds during this lockdown, I asked Charlie to discuss the bands experiences of mental health and how his mental health had been impacted over the last few weeks: Part of our experience of growing up and becoming adults has been a kind of coming to terms with and addressing mental health - both our own and our loved ones. Certainly some of us have had to either learn coping mechanisms or seek treatment at some stage of our lives and we feel strongly about discussion, dialogue and strategies. Speaking personally, making music and creating with the rest of the band has a very positive impact on my mental health so the lockdown has been hard in that respect. I think its re-enforced the value and need to communicate and commune with other people, in this case artistically and the emotive release it provides. Given that both singles have been released during lockdown, it also seemed prudent to ask what it has been like releasing a debut and announcing yourself to the world in the current abnormal climate: It has been strange to say the least. I think all of us have all wondered if it's even 'right' to put things out at a time like this, when so many things seem so much bigger than a song. I hope that the music or people discovering us is at least a welcome distraction from the situation we find ourselves in. We formed the band primarily to play live so it has been a real shame not to play shows and have a more human experience with an audience. It's also forcing us to be more honest with ourselves as musicians and as people; how can we translate these feelings digitally? How can we remain friends as well as band mates? How do we support other people, places, and things we love and care for? We're all looking forward to being back in a room together making loud noises! Looking to the future, and given that Runner Up and House of York have been released in quick succession, I was keen to know whether the tracks formed part of an EP or an album, and when we could expect to hear more: These are currently two standalone singles that served as a bit of an introduction as to what you can expect from us. We're lucky that we finished a larger body of work in our studio just before lock down begun so you can expect more music over the coming months. Nic our bassist also engineers and produces all of our music at our studio in Hackney Wick so we're pretty self sufficient , we're also writing remotely from each other and finding it quite productive. We would love to put out some vinyl over the coming months, I'm an artist and designer as a job so the physical experience of music is a massive part of it for me, you'll have to ask our label what they have planned hahah! You can listen to Runner up here and House of York here. With any luck they'll be headlining at the Shacklewell Arms on the 28th October (which is where you'll find me!). www.tvpriest.com

In part 2 of the Stay Home interviews, Cameron Pettit of Fish Bowl Events talks to John-Paul from Helicon, Lucy from Dream Nails and Daniel Armstrong, all of whom have contributed music to the 'Stay Home: Independent Artists Against Covid 19' which you can listen to and buy from Bandcamp here. Helicon Tell us a bit about yourself: John-Paul Hughes, I live just outside Glasgow and play guitar in Helicon. We make noise. Good fucking noise. Which you can acquaint yourself with and acquire, if you so desire, from Fuzz Club records. What has changed for you as an artist during lockdown? Aside from the obvious disappointment of having tours and festival appearances cancelled we've been really productive. All the lads in the band have installed basic recording equipment at home to work on ideas and demos then share to see how we can contribute and improve upon one another's ideas. It’s definitely been one of the most creative and productive periods of the band. We've all been pushing ourselves to be better musicians and hone our craft whilst learning more about production techniques. I've definitely acquired a new level of respect for producers and engineers. It’s a total head fuck. Are there any tips that you can give to artists for the remainder of the lockdown, anything to help keep them sane, busy, productive etc.? Don't sit about waiting for inspiration to strike. if you do, it wont. Just start and the ideas will begin to flow. Write separately, as individuals, then bring your ideas together for everyone to help make them better. That way you'll get more ideas to work with and explore more new territory than all working one idea at the same time together. If ever you were going to experiment, now is the time. Can you recommend any artists that you’ve found during lockdown? Lots of tremendous underground artists on this record i've really enjoyed listening to. I haven't found anyone new as such but rediscovered my admiration for the TVAM album Psychic Data and been enjoying the new albums by The Warlocks, Servo, Sonic Boom and Mogwai.  Dream Nails Tell us a bit about the band: We are Dream Nails and a punk force to be reckoned with! We started playing in 2015 after two of us met through their involvement with a feminist direct-action group and we mix political rage with contagious pop punk joy, winning hearts (and funds for abortion charities) wherever we go. We also review fries on our very own Youtube series, 'chipadvisor, which we take almost as seriously as our music and intersectional feminist politics. What has changed for you as a band during lockdown? Everything! We were due to release our debut album on 3rd April, but this has now been postponed until 4th September. We were also due to go gallivanting around the UK and Europe on a headline tour. Although we miss each other loads and can't practice together, we have taken to recording acoustic sessions and have even created a workout-inspired lockdown music video with the help of our beautiful fans. Stay tuned! Are there any tips that you can give to bands for the remainder of the lockdown, anything to help keep them sane, busy, productive etc.? Hmm.. honestly no. I don't think I can add anything more profound to all the stuff that has already been said and I strongly feel that no one should feel the need to push or overexert themselves creatively or otherwise in this surreal time. If you are finding you're flourishing- great! otherwise, just chill and look after yourself. This is a time for self-maintenance, not necessarily creating your magnum opus. However, as it looks like live shows are going to be a no-no for the rest of 2020, bands and musicians need to get thinking about new ways to stay connected to their fans through home-sessions when the lockdown eases but venues stay shut. Can you recommend any artists that you’ve found during lockdown? Ya! I've been loving 'Low Hummer' a nice grungy Hull five-piece and have also been delving deep into 80's synth pop... I also just started listening to BC Camplight and have been digging into the NTS archives - Nabihah Iqbal is a real fave.  Daniel Armstrong Tell us a bit about yourself: I’m Daniel Armstrong, a songwriter based in London. I also play guitar / banjo and sometimes bass in Frankie Teardrop Dead. My submission for the compilation, Lonely Summer, is a demo I made for a track I will be releasing at some point this year. I felt it was a fitting contribution however considering the circumstances as the song is about sudden displacement of friendships, loneliness, and nostalgia for better times. What has changed for you as an artist during lockdown? It sucks not knowing when your next show is going to be. I live for live music. I miss the atmosphere of being up on stage to a room full of people and feeling the pulsating and swelling of vibrations of sounds meandering back and forth which does grant one an inevitable aura of pleasure! I do hope there will be still venues left open to play in and or watch bands at after this blows over. Support your local venues! Are there any tips that you can give to artists for the remainder of the lockdown, anything to help keep them sane, busy, productive etc.? Keep playing music whether it's through live streaming / recording, getting into new artists or perhaps work on a new skill. If you can teach others your skills via zoom or Skype that also can be very rewarding, both spiritually and financially. It certainly helps with the routine. Can you recommend any artists that you’ve found during lockdown? I’m really digging Fontaines D.C, Shame, and listening to old live bootlegs of You Made Me Realise - era MBV at the moment.  A week or so ago we featured an excellent compilation put together by Fishbowl Events 'Stay Home: Independent Musicians Against COVID 19, which you can read about here. In the first part of a series of interviews with the some of the bands that contributed, Fishbowl Events very own Cameron Pettit speaks with Rob from Hey Bulldog, Tien from Superdrone and members of Stunflower. You can listen to/buy the album (with all profits donated to NHS Charities Together) here. Hey Bulldog Tell us a bit about yourself: I’m Rob guitarist and singer from Hey Bulldog, we’re a three piece garage rock band from Manchester. What has changed for you as an artist during lockdown? I guess like most people it’s pretty much put everything on hold, recording, rehearsing gigs, album plans, festivals everything put on hold or cancelled. Are there any tips that you can give to artists for the remainder of the lockdown, anything to help keep them sane, busy, productive etc.? Personally I’ve been cycling a lot, living on your own in a flat with no garden it does me a lot of good to get out and about and clear my head, I’ve also been reading more and playing around with learning some finger picking guitar, delay pedals and playing more piano. This has all really helped me mentally and physically, we had a few fun band group chats too and keep checking in on each other. Can you recommend any artists that you’ve found during lockdown? A couple of new releases in the last few weeks have been the new Mogwai soundtrack album which they did as a pay want you want with all donations going to NHS Charities for the first week and Ty Segall did a free download Harry Nilsson covers EP which is pretty cool. I’ve also been going through a big Radiohead phase and watching a lot of their full live gigs they’ve been putting on youtube.  Superdrone Tell us a bit about yourself: Superdrone have x3lps and x1EP on release and currently mastering LP4 called Solargaze which is due for release on the Solstice. We will have a few shows booked and hope they will happen for the end of the year. What has changed for you as an artist during lockdown? No rehearsal with the lads but plenty of home studio recording. Oh, and plenty of sitting in the sun or working on my car. Are there any tips that you can give to bands for the remainder of the lockdown, anything to help keep them sane, busy, productive etc.? No tips other than you really need to listen to lots of other unknown bands posting online. We’ve found a few gems. Can you recommend any artists that you’ve found during lockdown? I can’t remember any names of hand. Been too busy concentrating on completing our lp4.You know what it’s like locked in ya studio. Work work work work.  Stunflower Tell us a bit about yourself: Psychedelic reggae soca mantra-rockers based in London from Trinidad, Canada, Argentina & Bangladesh. Blending a cool collision of sound... hard-hitting-groovebased-celebration 3-part-harmonies Indianfusion… heartfelt, holistical, let-loose, transformational music... soothes your soul and moves your feet…a distinctly retro sound with high emotionality... Influences include King Gizzard, The Free Nationals, Sly & the Family Stone, The Band, Prince, George Harrison, Jon Anderson (Yes), The Clash, Talking Heads, Bob Marley..... Music-veterans, international performing artists & life-partners Thomas Idasseril Thomas from Trinidad (composer, guitars, vocals, loops) & Devaki Anne-Marie Thomas from Canada (vocals, drums, percussion) are joined by Miguan Ascanio Green from Argentina (bass & vocals) & Naz Khan from Bangladesh (Tabla). What has changed for you as an artist during lockdown? We are no longer playing live gigs or festivals as all are cancelled and venues closed. We cannot play with our band mates due to lockdown rules. We have started live streaming gigs every Saturday and are reconnecting to people all over the world, reaching out to approximately 12,000 people. The growing connection is allowing our music to reach people it wouldn't have in the past and has inspired us to play many songs we've long forgotten. Are there any tips that you can give to artists for the remainder of the lockdown, anything to help keep them sane, busy, productive etc.? Reach out to people you know around the world and start live streaming your music. It really is transformational, not only does it help you stay focused on your music it helps you feel connected. People are so hungry to connect during the restricted personal space and this is a positive and easy way. Having a regular scheduled time really helps build this platform week to week. Can you recommend any artists that you’ve found during lockdown? Been listening to Kruder & Dorfmeister alot, uplifting reggae music like Easy Star All Stars.  By Jon Milton Links to music/features in blue. How you feeling friend? A few weeks ago, TV Priest (whose Spotify profile features those four words only) released their debut single House of York to much critical acclaim, and have followed it up with a new single ‘Runner Up’ this week. According to the band, the single is about ‘white goods, work ethic, guilt, game shows, not dancing at the Christmas party, 4 car garages, meal deals, spam folders, lotteries, carrots and sticks’ and it is excellent, post punk at its finest, beginning and ending in feedback, staccato guitar, driving rhythm section and furious vocals ‘here’s what you could have won!’. We hope to have an interview with the band sometime this week to explore the subject matter further and find out about more about them, but in the meantime, you can listen for yourself here. Another big tune out this week was the IDLES mix of ‘Switching On’. Big because both bands are of course established music heavyweights, and also because the mix itself is BIG. It’s a beast, bringing industrial 80s 12-inch remix sounds and chugging beats to what was already a great song. Powerful stuff from two bands that we’ve featured on the site in the last month. You can hear the mix here, and read the interviews here and here.  Also bringing the noise this week were SANS, whose new eponymous EP features three bruising missives. We know not much about the band, other than they’re from Bristol and released their debut album Misophonic Songs last year, but on the evidence of this, they will certainly merit further investigation and scrutiny in the future. Listen to Aztec Drips, the lead track on the EP here. Protomartyr let us in on another track from their forthcoming album this week, Michigan Hammers, snarling contemptuous vocals combined with a frantic, scampering backing. Given the three singles out to date, all of which show varied sides of the bands’ repertoire, the album should be very interesting, and certainly one to look forward to hearing.  If all that noise doesn’t float your boat, you might want to check out the new singles by Farfisa, Dream English Kid and Van Houten. We came across Manchester band Farfisa on the excellent Owed Summer charity compilation with their song Simon’s Bridge, and this week they released a new single Out of My Mind. Out of My Mind has a lovely 60’s psychedelic vibe, all jangling guitars and bright vocals reminiscent of ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ by that old band from Liverpool everyone still goes on about.
Also based in Manchester are Dream English Kid who have released I See Red, a song that starts off like something from an Ibiza chill album from the 90’s but then morphs into brooding psychedelia to great effect. You can listen to and read about the song, and find out more about the band here. Over the other end of the M62 in Leeds Van Houten released their rather engaging lo-fi psychedelic pop single ‘Better than This’ on Friday via Come Play With Me, which you can find out more about here. By Mark Glenister As you may know we have been running a series of ‘Bands in Lockdown’ interviews over the past few weeks, a really simple but effective concept, I send them a list of questions and they answer at their leisure, in the case of Brooders they answered in their pyjamas! We’ve always wanted to bring you the best of the new upcoming bands, but I thought we should also remind you or in some cases introduce you to artists you may not have heard of before. I’ve known Ed Harcourt for a long time now, he was one of the first people I approached about some research for a book I was writing, that then sat untouched for years until recently the creative process hit me again, his thoughts are still important as they were 16 years ago. Back then, in the days of My Space, Ed was preparing to release his 4th Album ‘The Beautiful Lie’. His first album ‘Here be Monsters’ was nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2001. In the time since that nomination he has released a further 8 studio albums, worked with artists such as Marianne Faithful, Patti Smith & Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and for a short period had a hard-core metal band ‘Wild Boar’ whose anthemic song ‘Baby wants a Monster Truck’ lives long in my memory! Recently his new side project Loup GarouX supported Supergrass on their UK Tour, the band has Ed lined up alongside members of Gorillaz and the Feeling and is definitely the sleazy rock band he has always wanted to be part of. Due to social distancing, and not wanting Ed to suffer me bumbling along during a Video call, this interview was conducted by the medium of email and messenger chats! It’s a bit different from our normal format, as knowing Ed, I wanted to get a bit more out of him. He didn’t let me down, and the interview is insightful, honest, funny and with a slight dark side. Just like the man himself, please enjoy this interview and either rediscover or discover Ed’s back catalogue, and look out for Loup GarouX when the lockdown finally ends!  Firstly, how are you? How is the family?
Hi Mark. How are YOU?! I’m doing pretty well at the moment thank you, but I think like so many of us, being in the middle of a major pandemic has its’ dark moments. Anxiety rears its’ ugly head every now & then for both of us but is soon quashed by whichever half is less freaked out! Dramatics aside, on the whole we’re all doing fine and getting on with various projects. Some days there’s this manic energy, the artistic wheel is turning & other days there is a lethargy that one just can’t quite break out from. The kids are doing so great, being super creative and putting up with the whole thing probably much better than their parents! Do you have a daily routine, are you learning anything new as everyone else seems to be? Because our children are here the whole time, I think our routines have given way to theirs, what with home schooling etc. To be honest, what has actually given me some focus or discipline has been doing a song a day online, going out for a really long run (we’re out here in the countryside so there’s space and not many people to run into) and catching up on listening to new records whilst I’m out. The new Bob Dylan tracks have been a great soundtrack to that. I downloaded a Learn Spanish app but gave up after a day, my stupid sourdough starter completely failed and the girls in my family dyed my hair jet black, so I’ve been falling into all the predictable lockdown clichés with great ease. Are you seeing this lockdown as a time to be creative? And has it changed the way you view the industry? I’m definitely trying to be and there have been some songs already written which I’m really happy with, have been sending ideas to other artists I work with….I’m viewing parts of the industry a little differently, am certainly worried for all the grassroots venues which is why I’m trying to raise money for the Lexington and soon I’ll start on the Bush Hall. Frank Turner has been doing some incredible fund-raising for a number of venues. I can’t imagine how he feels being stuck at home, touring is his lifeblood! To be honest, I’ve become a bit of a studio hermit so not much has changed. With song writing, I just have to sit around with a fishing rod until a big one takes a bite. As regards to all the streaming services who, when they first started, having struck a devil’s deal with the major labels, well they’ve pretty much screwed songwriters (correct me if I’m wrong, but look at the stats) and artists with their paltry royalty payments; in these drastic times more than ever, we need them to change their policies and change them soon, otherwise the bottom will really fall out of everything. You’ve been doing a lot of Instagram and Facebook stuff, as well as the Lexington Gig you did last night – Have you enjoyed playing songs you may not have played for a while? Has it made you want to do a solo tour and or album? 100 %. It’s been really nice delving back into old records and songs I hadn’t even thought of for years. In a way, it’s given me a newfound desire to play live again & I am writing my next solo record…I think because I now have Loup GarouX, all my dark rock fantasies can be channelled into that project and I can now concentrate on making a good old fashioned solo piano record. Do you enjoy Social Media? Some elements of it are enjoyable & useful. I try to communicate with people, but I’m not always quick enough to the mark and am sometimes distracted to be honest. Every time I open Twitter, it feels like opening a pandora’s box of puerile playground bullying and shoving matches, so I quickly jump off it again. There’s probably an unhealthy ratio of me following the wrong people compared to friends & acquaintances. I’m not a big user of twitter. Social media can be an intermittent beacon for mediocrity, similar to reality television, where quite a few seem to think they are a critic, a singer, a painter, a photographer, a comedian. But who am I to criticise anyone’s creativity! There is so much amazing art out there too & I’ve discovered some diamonds in the rough. But I do feel it ties into the endless desire to be famous for existing. It’s potentially exhausting and nauseating. With no apparent end to the lockdown, how has the impacted the Loup Garoux Project? We’ve had to cancel forthcoming tours, we had some momentum after the Supergrass shows just before the lockdown but that has slowed down; but we’ve been finishing mixing the record via video chat with the excellent Cenzo Townshend who’s in Suffolk and it’s sounding loud, beautiful, dark and epic. We actually have a single and video we luckily made just before the lockdown coming out later this month! The album is nearly done, in fact we’re arguing about the running order as I write.. I’m really excited for people to hear this…we recorded a lot of it in the Wolf Cabin. As a fan I know how much I miss going to gigs, for the music and for the social aspect, is this something that you miss as well? I miss it so much, I totally hear you. I’ve met so many of my friends through going to gigs. I’ve met so many amazing & interesting people touring different countries too, it seems like such a distant memory now. I cannot wait to get back out there. I think this lockdown has made me realise how much I miss touring full stop. I think the lack of human contact is something that finally gets under your skin. I know some people who would say they have been self-isolating their whole lives so this is nothing, but I know deep inside, that lack of any sensory contact with people has got have a subliminal negative effect. We met a long time ago as you helped with research for the book I am finally writing (don’t ask), that day you introduced me to the delights of Tom Waits – is he your musical hero? And what sets him apart from others? He is up there in the hall of fame for me. I first heard his music when I was 18 years old and it changed my life. It made me realise I could be a songwriter. I started chronologically & I devoured his lyrics. He’s the circus ringmaster of the strange and the beautiful, the melancholy and the outlandish and once you jump aboard, you’ll never get off! His world is seen in cracked mirrors and through kaleidoscopes, he’s God and the Devil in equal measure and that to me is perfect. Also, that day you gave me a copy of the Brian Wilson book ‘I just wasn’t made for these times’ which I read countless times, and treasure. How do you view him as a songwriter? Well he’s the godly genius of melody and harmony who descended into a sad & dissonant place for too long. One of my favourite songs by him, which I covered, is called ‘Still I Dream Of It’ a truly heart-breaking piece. It captures the mundanity of his own personal imprisonment and the hell he’s been going through in such a sad & gentle way. I think out of his deep anxiety and madness he was able to create so much beauty for the world which is a difficult concept to grasp & why we must always be grateful for his existence. If you could have written one song by someone else, what would it be and why? Oh man, too many to mention. ‘Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis’ by Tom Waits is a contender. Probably ‘Wichita Lineman’ by Jimmy Webb, as made famous by the late great Glen Campbell. I wish I had written it because it contains perhaps the best couplet of all time in song, ‘And I need you more than want you & I want you for all time’ - I interviewed him once and he said he wrote the song in 5 minutes. Curses! How do you view your career? I try not to view it. I literally have no idea. It seems to have had it’s peaks and troughs, there’s not much I can do about it, it’s pretty much out of my control…I started quite young and had no idea what I was doing and how to act. I think I may have acted like an idiotic madman. I think I may have burnt a few bridges and built up a ‘reputation’ but that’s all part of life’s rich pageant I guess. Now I guess I’m a fully-fledged ‘responsible adult’…?! You have worked with some great artists, including Marianne Faithful, and you have produced a few artists as well – do you enjoy being involved in different aspects of making music? Absolutely, I love collaborating with other people. It’s always a welcome challenge. When you both finally release you’ve struck gold with a song, it’s a very rewarding feeling. Everyone’s different, there’s no particular method to it. Sometimes you can’t even get any blood from the stone though. I still get nervous at the prospect of collaboration, but it usually passes once it’s in full swing. I built my studio so I could do this very easily and at the drop of a hat, it’s such a godsend to have it at my disposal. Collaboration is unbelievably important, because you learn so much from other people and their influence and presence, it helps create your own catalysts, spawns the big and beautiful ideas, similar to reading your favourite book or hearing a quote from an affecting film or play…the stories you heard from your ancestors growing up, archives, epitaphs, old letters, cut out newspaper snippets, soaking it all up….anything goes…er I’m going off on a tangent here! Despite horrors of this pandemic, the lockdown seems to have a created a lot of really positive community action, and for once social media is being used mainly in a positive manner – Do you want life to return to normal once this is over, or would you like people to be using this time to evaluate their lives and start be part of communities and positive social change? You’re right there, I’ve seen how reliant people have been on social media, the need to reach out and to connect & also re-connect with those they haven’t talked to in months. The doom-laden spectre of the pandemic has given us a lot to reflect on that’s for sure. We’re all desperate for life to return to normal. If I have any more zoom meetings I’m going to set my laptop on fire. It’s interesting to see how the more progressive countries who don’t have toxic nationalistic wannabe strongmen have dealt with the virus. I wonder if the world can change for the good post-Covid 19, the cynic in me thinks my optimism may be misguided idealism. At the moment it feels like confusion has been created in order to deflect from the failures of this government. Back to your question - there have been some incredible online campaigns and stories as a result of these dire circumstances, the Save Our Venues campaign being one fine example, having already raised over £1million for some of these grassroots venues…but they’re far from being out of the woods so we have to keep going. So not only are these online communities crucial to our well-being - especially with the communicative & compassionate aspect being so important for people, who are suffering from mental health issues. |
