Wild Nothing is the solo project of Virginia born Jack Tatum, who’s music is the product of an unhealthy obsession with nostalgia. Equal parts teenage wasteland and inexplicable regret, his songs are the kind that could only be made by the young at heart. Unlike the current herd of one-man bedroom bands, Tatum creates complex textural environments that aim for something higher. Melodies that yearn to stay with you.
There are multiple artists with this name 1. Straw Dogs unleashed a fury of hardcore-laden metal-tinged garage-band kick-ass rock and roll. Between 1986 and 1991 they released two 12"s on Restless/Enigma named, Straw Dogs and Under the Hammer consecutively and one 12" with a CD version on Lone Wolf entitled Your Own Worst Nightmare. Laughably, not one of the downloadable albums or tracks listed and very few of the non-downloadable tracks listed on last.fm are by the Boston-based Straw Dogs.
Beats For Beginners are Manchesters LCD Sound System or Beck. Kinda retro classic stoner pop like Ziggy meets Krafwerk - with electro and 70's/80's trashy synths. Although live the band are a tight 3 man machine, BFB is essentially one man singer songwriter Mike TV, spotted & signed by Mint Royale via a demo to their Faith & Hope (2004), releasing the debut album DON'T FLY INTO THE SUN with singles: Kill All DJs, TECHNOLOGY and WHEN ROBOTS ATTACK. Mike also collaborates with REBELSKI (Doves) STICKERS ON KEYS (2005) and spins discs with DOVES DJS (2007-2009).
