Custom Kings

Since forming in 2002, the Custom Kings have evolved into an unidentifiable outfit emersed in musical variation. Always in motion are the Kings whose love for diversity has seen them infuse junk-yard jazz with capo’d folk; appalachian picking with loose indie hop - and blues with everything. Signed to Liberation on the back of an 8-track home recording, they emerged from the studio with a collection of songs custom made for listeners who prefer music undefined.

Helgi Hrafn Jónsson

Reykjavik, Iceland (2005-Present)
It’s hard to spot the one side that epitomizes Helgi Hrafn Jonsson: There’s the lean, blond, loki-type of prankster, that would always be up for a laugh, be the joke on him or someone else. There’s the highly trained trombone-player, having toured and recorded all over europe and the U.S. with a vast array of bands and artists (from Voices of Europe to Sigur Rós), but namely with his own group Beefólk, signed to Wolfgang Muthspiel’s material-records label.

Peasant

Peasant is 21 year old east coaster Damien DeRose. Recording and writing in a 1 bedroom apartment, he likes to eat bagels and swim in creeks (freshwater only). Recently put out an album called 'on the ground' on paper garden records. That's "on the ground", as in "we're on the ground, move in", in military fashion, not the depressing conclusion you may have drawn (shame on you!).
