Dan Parsons

At just 21, it’s somewhat surprising that Dan Parsons has already been on the scene for a couple of years. Having made his foray into the musical world with his heritage-flavoured debut release Old Brown Shoe in 2007, Parsons continued on this path for a short time. Then after gradually being absorbed by a new musical world of peers and influences he found a new desire to make a different type of music.

Handsome Bastards

Handsome Bastards is both the band name and a statement of FACT. Featuring ex-members of Lincolnshire's SHURIKEN and East Midlands' BLACK JACK KETCHUM, they want to rip your ears off and fill the holes with ROCK N ROLL. 2012 might be the Year of the Bastard. Or maybe 2013. Influences vary wildly from Sonic Youth and Godflesh to A and Miocene, with a bit of Roxy Music and King Crimson thrown in for good measure, but it all combines into some sort of post-hardcore electrorock musical bomb, some how. It's glorious, whatever it is.

UP

There are two known artists named UP. 1. UP (In Hangul - 유피)(Reads as U.P.) South Korean Pop group that emerged during mid 1900's. They were famous for their hit song Puyo Puyo (뿌요뿌요) which is included in their 2nd album. Currently they are disbanded and doing individual music work. 2. UP's music is based on the best stuff from old funk and rock projects, cleaned up and supercharged with johno's 2007 tastes and sensibilities. The lyrics are all about personal experiences, if a bit tongue in cheek at times. Recently we've been getting more and more into vocal harmonisation.
