Last To Be Picked

The United Kingdom. A melting pot of a series of wholly different areas, it is a bastion of eclectic art, music, and food - drawing on its own history of romanticism and philosophy to stand out as a tour de force of positivity in the most negative of times. Nestled within its heart, an uprising of emotionally-charged lyrics have flowed out with serene guitar work and accentual worldly instruments to write a new definition of what it is to be insightful.

The Bad Things

Bubbling forth like a mossy belch of polka filth from the greasy, jet fuel-contaminated wetlands of the Northwest, comes The Bad Things. With junkyard waltzes and shameless shanties, The Bad Things are hellbent on providing traditional music for the post-apocalyptic era. "Combining elements of Gypsy, folk, Klezmer, Hillbilly ballads, mariachi crooners, and a Vaudeville theatrical aesthetic, the group has a reputation for drunken debauchery and feverish dancing at their live shows.....The group lends their old-fashioned style with a post-modern sense of black humor."
