Mark Johnson, singer and keyboard-player with Nottingham-based synth-pop group Silver Factory Superstars, has been playing music since 1992.

Released on his own label, Mark not only wrote all the sings on Unrequited, but played all the instruments as well.

The Eastwood-born-and-bred musician started his career in a Ripley recording studio and currently works as a technician in the New College Nottingham media department.

Mark said: "Unrequited is more of a band-based sound with live guitars, drums and bass. I produced it myself - so it's a real cottage industry.

"At the moment I'm trying to figure out how to play the songs live. I don't know yet whether I'll just play the songs myself on acoustic guitar or form a backing band.

"While I was writing the songs an unconscious theme of unrequited love emerged, but it has quite an eclectic sound. There's even country ballad with dark macabre lyrics. There's a bit of everything on there."

Released on Pullfocus records, Unrequited contains eleven songs.
You can hear a few of the songs at www.myspace.com/mjohnsonuk and the record is avalable to buy from itunes, Cd baby and Pullfocus shop.
