Bad Science was created in Bristol and is now a five-piece band based in Brighton. They mix the deep bass and spacious soundscapes of dub, get-up-and-dance of funk and the bumping grooves and conscious lyrical gymnastics of hip hop. You'll find them online at http://www.myspace.com/badscience

In the autumn of 2003 Bearos Records released Ben’s debut LP The Leafy Underground, (Recorded by DJ Drive D, Bentley Rhythm Ace), an album documenting a journey through the year. It's rustic, dark, personal and pastoral, and possibly best played when you are the only one in the room. In the last couple of years Ben has played over 60 gigs all around the country, playing his individual Lo-Fi Post-Folk musings at venues such as City Folk at The Heavenly Social, (supporting Radio 2 Award Winner Kris Drever), Anti-Folk night 'blang!' at 12 Bar, and Bohemian Jukebox in Birmingham.
Andi Neate has been described as “angel-voiced” and “street tough” and compared with Suzanne Vega, Ani Difranco and the Cranberries. Her appearance is a mixture of confidence and vulnerability - from the trademark tattoos writhing round her right arm to the tumbling mass of dark hair to her sometimes stocking soles when performing. Her childhood on a remote west coast island encouraged her natural affinity with nature, and the strong sense of independence which led her to building her own house – brick by brick - and which has taken her and her music to far corners of the world.

Disco Ensemble was formed in 1996 in Pori, Finland. For many years the band has been in the basements and underground-venues, writing songs and playing shows that would have put any band in the limelight to shame. From periods ranging from progressive hardcore to more accessible punk rock, childhood friends Mikko (drums) and Jussi (guitar), bassist Lasse and vocalist Miikka have been Finland's best kept secret for too long.
