Grace Petrie comes from Leicester in the East Midlands, but can often be found further afield, particularly, recently, around the Nether Edge area of Sheffield. She writes indie folk rock songs (a couple with an acoustic punk twist), plays the guitar and sings with a voice that has been described by listeners as similar to Laura Marling, Kate Nash and nothing you’ve ever heard before. From the humble beginnings of small gigs in her hometown in 2006 and a home-recorded debut album, Grace quickly acquired a reputation as one of the best artists on the flourishing Leicester music scene...

BronzeAge are a Leicester, UK based 4 piece consisting of ex-members of Alt-punk band Public Relations Exercise. After P.R.E's demise the members spent their time licking wounds and getting on with being grown ups. However, the appeal of traveling miles for little money or thanks became too much and in 2009, BronzeAge was formed. The band’s sound is a distinct departure from their previous output; combining epic sound-scapes with angular indie riffs and dual vocal interplay. Early demos have now been recorded by Field Records owner and producer Tim Waterfield.

Liam Clayton started writing songs for a new band in summer 2008 and continued to play acoustic gigs over the next year while living in Kingston Upon Thames. During 2009 he began recording with Jamie Ward at Park Farm studios, demoing full band tracks. His track 'Good Luck Mr Gorsky' was included on the Punktastic/Walnut Tree Records compilation Unscene 5, released on August 1st. The main influences for the band are the pop punk albums Through Being Cool, Is A Real Boy... Dear You, Take This To Your Grave and Your Favourite Weapon.
