Riding The Low

Riding the Low is lo-fi, raw guitar rock with the fat cut out - no five minute jams or extravagant guitar solos. During the group’s short history, they have produced such punchy anthems as ‘Easy On Our Own’ and ‘Live From The Tramp Fights’ on a prolific scale, often debuting new songs at each show.
The Low’s live sets are as unrestrained as their songs; they’re there to have as good a time as the crowd - the louder you clap, the longer they’ll play. The vibrant atmosphere the band provoke through open banter has earned them a group of loyal followers, known as ‘Low Riders’.

The Chemistry Experiment

With two albums to their name, this east midlands quintet's music encompasses genres as diverse as prog-rock, folktronica and disco against a backdrop of lush, orchestral pop and a pinch of Pulp's northern glamour. 'Strange, gargantuan rhythms, weird instrumentation and a singer who sounds like Kurt Wagner trapped beneath two feet of snow... as beautiful and crazy as The Arcade Fire' (NME)
