Pedro the Lion

Pedro the Lion was an indie rock band from Seattle, Washington, comprising David Bazan and TW Walsh. Because of the biblical references in many of their songs, Pedro the Lion were seen by some to be a Christian band, but they did not consider the band to be such. Pedro the Lion was formed by David Bazan in 1994 and released their debut EP Whole in April 1997. Despite the band's many lineup changes, Bazan remained the primary artist and musician behind the group, exemplified by his singing and playing every instrument on the band's first two full length albums...

Heart Ships

Fitting somewhere between Sunset Rubdown at their most raucous, Modest Mouse, The Microphones and Patrick Wolf; Heart Ships are a Leeds based band, playing together since December 2009. Disillusioned after several half assed attempts to form bands proper, Ryan and Winterbird pledged to one another that they'd jam the most lawless, anything goes music they could muster until something magical happened.
