Mastered by Robb R
Release: Single ”Can’t Hear A Sound”
Written by Pinwheel Valley

“Can’t Hear A Sound, sure to ensnare fans of City and Colour, Alberta Cross, and Radiohead, was produced and written by frontman Qais Khoury.
Can’t Hear A Sound is a moving track of monumental proportions. Qais’ voice, vast and imbued with agony, echoes over an expansive instrumental arrangement of stirring strings, soulful guitar strums and cinematic drums. It is a song that contains multitudes; so evocative and timeless that it leaves the listener in a daze of emotion.“
– Playy (UK)
Frontman Qais Khoury shared: “‘Can’t Hear A Sound’ is a song of bloodlines and soil, of war and the restless pull of home. It is a cry carried on the wind, calling to kin who have wandered astray, drawn into circles that could never hold them. A plea for their return to the ground where their fathers lie sleeping. It is both invocation and vow — a promise to shield them, body and soul, whatever the cost, and to guard the earth that holds their roots. The song does not turn away from the truth that the land itself has been altered — that war has crept to our own shores, reshaping the very fields we swore to protect. The silence is no longer peace but the ringing echo of bombs, a quiet so loud it haunts the ear. Yet in the midst of this devastation, the song reaffirms its oath: that to remain bound to one’s roots is the only way to live honestly, to find a way through the world without becoming lost.”
BANESCAR – yourswords (EP)
Recording of vocals and guitars, Mixed and Mastered by Andreas Matheou at Hot Soap Studios in Summer of 2024.
Release: EP ”yourswords”
Written and Performed by Neil Fawkes
BANESCAR is a one-man band project created by Neil Fawkes, who has been making music for as long as he can remember. After forming several projects throughout his career, Neil moved to Cyprus in 2022, where he started BANESCAR as a new chapter in his musical path.
BANESCAR is a sonic journey that celebrates life’s experiences. The artist believes that every soul bears scars, and every scar tells a story, reflecting the diverse paths we’ve traveled. In BANESCAR’s music, these scars are embraced as part of who we are.
The debut single, “yourswords” was written in a single session in less than half an hour on a lonely winter evening in 2024. The composition was later polished, revised, and brought to life with the help of the artist’s good friend Alex Schmidt and the professionals at Hot Soap Studios, marking the first chapter of BANESCAR.
