Rescue Rangers

Fall 2005, a group of stoner from the south of France (who just giggle at the back of the room as I frames?) we unclog savagely eardrums blow slats good rockin, bass thumping at will and a heat wave that was feeling damn good to hear. Name: Rescue Rangers, the subject of crime: Masters of the middle finger, an EP 4 tracks urgent and angry, which feels like big fat rock run along the Grand Canyon, under a blazing sun (in the rain Nord-Pas de Calais, the pleasure was not the same ... obviously).

Louis Lingg and the Bombs

Louis Lingg and the Bombs are goddamn punk-rock-garage-pop-anarcho saviours of the 2 and half minute pop song. They come from Paris where they regularly blow up little bars with explosions of snot and beer fuelled punk rock energy! The group is named after Louis Lingg, the famous Chicago anarchist who committed suicide on death row in 1887. Some of their songs are ultra-political anarchist punk rock and some of their songs are like children’s nursery rhymes. ALL of their song’s are full of interesting pop hooks and melodies and they are sung with energy and commitment.

Sam Beer

Sam Beer is the latest in a long line of English singer songwriters to take their inspiration from American delta blues but infuse it with a distinctively British sensibility. His finger-picking guitar style, everyday observational lyrics and unusual vocal style put him strongly in the traditional of off-beat English blues and folk singers such as Kevin Coyne and Richard Thompson. Beer has self-released a solo e.p. (Carrier Pigeon) and, in October 2006, his debut album Evening Songs, on which he is joined by drums, bass and a string section.
