The Vichy Government

Taking their name from the de facto fascist French government during the second World War, The Vichy Government were never going to write songs about love and cute puppies. Their two independently released albums 'Carrion Camping' and 'Whores In Taxis' show that they aren't afraid to challenge both themselves and their listeners, coming across like Le Tigre fronted by Oscar Wilde.

The Black Sparrows

The Black Sparrows are a band formed by two Bukowski obsessed young men who wanted an excuse to drink and shout in public. Recreating the spirit of the guitar band, The Black Sparrows bring a punk inspired attitude to London indie, with danceable riffs and sharp lyrics.

Additional Duels members include, or have included, Katherine Botterill on keyboards and backing vocals and violinist Lesley Turner.

King Adora

UK rock group King Adora formed in Birmingham in 1998, reputedly taking their name from an oversized adult toy they'd seen in a sex shop. With strong punk and glam rock influences, similar to American power pop, they often drew comparisons to Suede, The Pixies, and the early Manic Street Preachers. They had a successful touring career and picked up a devoted fanbase (who were often also Rachel Stamp, Placebo and Manic Street Preachers fans), although they never made a real impression on the mainstream.
