Beat The Radar

BTR began following a chance meeting in the sandwich section of Marks & Sparks. A short time later, they recorded a new demo at Blueprint Studios, supported Midnight Juggernauts / Hatcham Social / The Rushes / Das Wanderlust/ The Chapman Family / Leon & joined forces with Lazy Genius Management. The band’s distinctive music is centred on a unique combination of trans-Atlantic 80s indie guitar, rhythmical aggression and lyrical charm; inspired by personal tales of hometown apathy and drunken arguments.

Wolfman

Peter Wolfe (more commonly known as Wolfman) is a London musician of the band Wolfman and the Side-Effects. He is also a friend and the alleged corrupter of Pete Doherty. They also often support Doherty's band, Babyshambles, and used to support The Libertines. His biggest single, "For Lovers", reached No.7 in the UK charts. Although it was written by Wolfman and Doherty, neither made much revenue from the song's popularity. It did, however, give Wolfe some media attention and increased his fanbase.
