Honkeyfinger

Honkeyfinger is a one man band.
He comes from Bethnal Green and plays skronk blues beast rock.
Stripped back and amped up - the sound of one heavy assed live band hotwired through one body. Lapsteel twisted and fuzzed to hell like you never heard before, guttural screeching harmonica, a-rhythmic floor drum pounding, paraplegic beatbox looping, and wild dog howling is the Honkeyfinger way. . .

DVA Damas

Taylor Burch and Joe Cocherell. “Dva Damas has California written over it,” says Taylor Burch, the band’s founder and figurehead. Fitting, then, that they’re the first act to release a record on Downwards America, the new US offshoot of Karl ‘Regis’ O’Connor’s now two-decades-old, Birmingham-born label. Downwards America is being operated by Juan Mendez, O’Connor’s longtime cohort and collaborator in Sandwell District; and it was Mendez who, after attending Dva Damas’s first public live show in 2009, signed them on the spot to record their debut single.
