boolfight

Native from France, Boolfight is an alternative rock trio that took advantage of a few years spent in California to mix various influences and create a truly personal sound that is at the same time not scared of being pop. In 2004, the band thus recorded a self-titled EP in San Francisco - some demos had made it to the ears of producers Steve Bradley (No Doubt) and Dave Tweedie of Chocolate O'Brian, who recognized a strong potential.

Primarily playing freakbeat-inspired music, the band performed several gigs on the London Mod scene as well as performing in the Harlow Square Rock Contest.

NURSES

To immerse yourself in Nurses' Apple's Acre is to delight in a certain mental unraveling. These are songs where the vulnerability of pop with its heart on its sleeve engages in a double-dutch jumprope match with the euphoric surrender-to-the-weird that is essential to psychedelia. And Nurses is a band that scavenges beauty and wonder, uncovering Technicolor where others see somber hues. Their off-kilter psych-pop is driven by ever-swelling vocal harmonies, adventurous electronics, some serious wheelin' and dealin' on the Rhodes piano...
