Self-Releasing a Debut Album and Making Space for Creating with Sarah Corcoran from Pillow Queens - Noisy Women The Podcast
noisy and outspokenShow Notes
Sarah Corcoran is an incredibly talented musician, living in Ireland and working as part of the band, Pillow Queens. They have just self-released their debut album, In Waiting, which has been a global success and has seen them grace American TV, with James Corden, in recent months. I personally think the album is phenomenal, it touches on a lot of themes that run close to my heart, and as a very powerful piece of writing. Sarah and I were put into contact by her PR, a lovely lady called Amy, a couple of months ago now; it has been a little while since this chat happened, however the excitement and joy is still very true. In this episode we talk about the importance of radio playing women and non-binary artists, as well as how to go about releasing an album without a label supporting you. We also talk about finding your voice within social media and the role that gigging and finding a support network plays in establishing a band.
