Ebbs and Flows

Ebbs and Flows started life in an old warehouse flat in Macclesfield when Rob Calder saved up his pennies (earned through geriatric carework) to buy a four-track recorder. Inspired by folk music, Spacemen 3 records and the people around him, Rob started to record. Having utterly failed to meet like-minded people, he moved to Oxford and then Reading, where his efforts culminated in his first album, the largely acoustic 184,000,000 Miles. A demo copy of the album found its way to Holly's Demo Hell (a now-defunct column in the NME where witty putdowns were generally the order of the day).

The Radio Dept

The band was conceived in 1995 by schoolmates Elin Almered and Johan Duncanson, who named the group after a gas-station-turned-radio-repair-shop called "Radioavdelningen" (The Radio Department in Swedish). However, Almered and Duncanson soon stopped playing music together, putting the band on hiatus. The group was reborn three years later, in 1998, when Duncanson starting making music with Martin Larsson. In 2001, Larsson's then girlfriend Lisa Carlberg joined the group on bass, followed by Per Blomgren on drums and Daniel Tj
