Quote:Originally heralding from Manchester, UK, by age 17 Jim Stapley was already pursuing the rock and roll dream, skipping school to catch the train to London where he rehearsed daily with musicians a decade older than he was. The work paid off, leading to shows in iconic venues all over London as well as a residency at The Borderline, an 18+ club for which Jim, the lead singer, had to be smuggled in. After a good run with a few different bands, Jimâs career took a decidedly solo turn. Thatâs when it all really cracked open. Jim began playing gigs in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Norway, Italy, Germany, and other amazing locales before eventually returning home to the legendary Dean Street Studios where he cut this first album, one that really has been a Long Time Comingâ¦
Heart Strings is the lead single from the Jim's debut album - Listen Here: -

Laid To Waste is another quality track! Love this interview on HeartStrings though, gives you a great insight into the song!

Don't know if you have noticed mate, but there's a video for Heartstrings now... Similar style to Laid To Waste, all moody and ambivalent haha
Such a strong tune though
