Printed Circuit
Printed Circuit is a pseudonym of Claire Broadley, a musician from Leeds, UK. She began making music as a solo artist in June 1999, aged 19. During the next five years, she released records on labels like Tigerbeat6, Elefant, 555 and her own label, Catmobile. Her influences are continually taken from diverse sources, most obviously from the Acorn Electron computer games of her youth, but the only real constant is her own ability to tessellate simple melodies into far more complex compositions. A forthcoming album can be pre-ordered at PledgeMusic.com.

The Fret
The Fret are an alternative and independent band from the Leeds DIY scene in Northern England and have been making music since 1999.

John Butler was there at the very beginning on lead vocals and lead guitar. Rik Stewart (ex-Cakey Face/ UNSEEN FLAME) joined the band in August 2007 on bass. October 2009 saw the final change in line-up to Ben Taylor on drums.
