Twelve

Twelve is a solo project of Chris Olley, lead singer and guitarist of the Nottingham, UK rock band Six By Seven. Twelve's songs are more heavily electronic than most of Six By Seven's, and are stylistically varied, including both guitar and electronics driven songs and elaborate textures along side more straightforwards songs. Olley has described Twelve as an "experiment". During Six By Seven's 2005-2006 breakup, Twelve was Olley's primary project, though in 2006 he also launched an electroclash project called Fuck Me USA.

hunz

Hunz is a three-piece electronic pop band, spearheaded by Brisbane-based electronic musician and producer, Hans Van Vliet. With a background in music programming and motion design, Hans pulls his notes out of a binary soup of ones and zeroes, hand-crafting synth patches and beats from scratch. The result is a mix of pulsating, glitchy electronics and ethereal vocals that hint at the sinister, but succumb to the pleasure of pop hooks instead.
