Hands On Heads

HANDS ON HEADS are a dysfunctional pop group from London, writing abrupt, to the point, non-repetitive songs about unrequited friendship, romantic potential, the supernatural everyday, righteous joy and expectation. Their songs rarely scale the dizzying heights of the two minute mark, relying on shock and awe songwriting tactics to get their message across. The band doesn't believe in reiteration, they make a point with emphasis, then move on to the next fractured song of double-speed dynamics and feral abandon.

Pete & the Pirates

Bright, young commanders of a brand of unique Englishness, Pete and The Pirates' blend of smooth edged punk and pop produces music which is sweet, raw, joyous, melancholic, raucous and tender. The Pirates' idiosyncratic and endearing songwriting puts them somewhere between the Flying Nun band Tall Dwarfs and the wistful reflection of On The Beach-era Neil Young. Pete and The Pirates is the side-project of frontman Thomas sanders, who is also in Tap Tap.
