a pop band from Edinburgh, who specialise in going around your living room with a dictaphone, and hoovering up all the dirty noise.

The Player Piano were a band from Utah, United States. "Player Piano is the nom de plume of Indiana-born, London-fed Jeremy Radway.

A talented musician and studio-engineer, Jeremy plays all the instruments on all of his recordings - drums, guitar, keys, vocals, handclaps and even backslaps (if it’s going well).
