Paisley singer-songwriter Alan McKim unleashes his first EP via Telescopic Baby on April 16th, 2011. The EP is entitled "What I Know now...Changes Everything"
Alan is a bloody and passionate performer. His sound and demeanour is dark and intense but the music, with its driving bass lines and cascading chorus’, remains irrepressibly catchy and will charm the most innocent of cherubs to the hardiest of souls alike. Alan possesses a refreshing back-to-basics and gritty approach ideal for these austere times whilst succeeding to keep his sound wholly new and fit to fill city stadiums.

“I’ll eat my own shoes if you don’t hear these songs blaring out your wireless in months to come.” – Chris Rodger, www.glasgowmusic.co.uk

“So intense was his set that you feared for his guitar.” – BluesBunny.com

Recorded at London’s Livingston Studios, under the tutelage of established producer and songwriter Ken Rose (Warners, EMI and Giorgio Moroder Music) and his recently launched Telescopic Baby project. As much a collective as it is a label, the Telescopic idea is to key into the development and nurturing of young talent ensuring each artist maintains full artistic freedom whilst reaching their full potential. It made perfect sense following a meeting last year that the Telescopic founder volunteered his vast experience in the creation of Alan’s new EP; which is the next chapter of a story gaining rapid momentum.

Alan has previously played numerous live shows including Connect and Hinterland Festivals and has shared stages with artists such as Brett Anderson (Suede) and Colin McIntyre. In autumn 2010 Alan was asked to tour round Scotland’s Beanscene Coffee shops to follow in the footsteps of KT Tunstall, Amy MacDonald and Carrie Mac who have all kick started their career through this opportunity.
McKim is up for Best Acoustic Artist at this years Scottish Alternative Music Awards. He has also been a finalist in the Billy Kelly Song writing awards.
