Count To Fire
There are plenty of British bands around who have tried to take inspiration from the intimacy and expansive sound of Americana, but end up losing their own identity in the process. Not so Count To Fire. The Exeter band, who released their debut album Songs That Remind Me Of You in 2008, quickly outgrew their American influences to establish themselves as one of the most engaging groups in the UK.

Heartless Bastards
The Heartless Bastards' story starts in Dayton, Ohio, where Wennerstrom found the name on a multiple choice video trivia game at a bar. As a songwriting teenager during a time when Guided by Voices and Brainiac were packing local bars and three of The Breeders were still in town, Wennerstrom used to sneak into clubs to check out the scene. "I would just see those people—my music heroes—hanging out at the bar like everyone else," she remembers. "I could see myself in them. It gave me inspiration to do my own thing."
