R.A. the Rugged Man
R.A. the Rugged Man, real name R.A. Thorburn, is a rapper from Stony Brook, Long Island. He began his music career at age 12. At 18, he signed to Jive Records. R.A.'s legend, perpetuated by the P.R. biographies at his various labels, say he was dropped due to violent and disgusting behavior, but in interviews he disputes many of the more extreme stories told about him, adding that Jive just didn't know how to break new artists at the time.
The Lofty Heights
Originally the brainchild of crooning minstrel Gregory Griffin; a Californian recently transplanted to a giant warehouse in the Manor House area of London, Lofty Heights have since evolved into a band of mid-20’s misfits peddling Colin Meloy influenced indie- pop that spin yarns from lonesome ancient mariners to the perils of sharing the washing-up!
Debut single Eye Contact is a beautifully orchestrated chamber pop ditty that sees Greg interlace Beach Boy inspired harmonies over heartfelt lyrics and rich instrumentation including cello, slide guitar and piano accompaniment.
