The Cruel Sea

The Cruel Sea is a multi-ARIA Award winning 90s Australian rock/blues outfit. Originally an instrumental band focused on surf sounds, the addition of vocalist Tex Perkins (also a member of The Beasts Of Bourbon and a solo artist) proved an inspired decision. Combining the charismatic Perkins with the highly talented musicians created an unstoppable force through much of the 90s. Members of the band continue to perform, though with the exception of Perkins, most activity is fairly low key.

Letherette

Letherette started life in a dark lounge hidden from the normal crowds and untouched for years, playing over and over the music itself sounded more and more dusty as the years grew. Country girls dressed in gingham from the surrounding areas where drawn in by the music and came from miles around to dance, there love for the music grew so strong they wanted to take it home. This was against the biggest rule of the ‘Letherette Lounge’ and so they stole cassettes and hid them in there bloomers smuggling them out, only now has it started to leak.

Waxfactor

"If ever there was a person who sought to put personality and charisma back into music, it's Waxfactor. Combining originality, simplicity and funk, Wax's tracks have that much-envied quality of getting you within 30 seconds of hearing them. If there's an artist whose music you hook into quicker out there, we're yet to find them. Having already recorded the Battlecake EP for 7Hills and dropped the "Haunted Hairpiece" track on Lex's "Tile 3" release (alongside Sage Francis, Supersoul and Madlib), Wax joined Needlework to release unquestionably his finest work to date: The Game Face EP.
