Future System

Tom Nurse - Keyboards/Samples
Ryan Smith - Guitar
Ben Forzani - Drums
Richard Sturges - Bass Forming a year ago whilst studying Music Performance, Future System's unique and original sound has started to secure the band gigs across the South East of London. Formed of merging styles and tastes, the band describes their music as a blend of mental and "dancey synth". Their first gig in Kingston at the Peel went down a treat, and with more lined up the Band is definitely about to hit the scene.

Panic Attract

From East London arrive Anglo-French duo Panic Attract. Purveyors of twisted pop noir, they consist of multi-instrumentalist Greg Heresztyn and enigmatic front man and songwriter Tim Garratt. Already championed by 6 Music DJ Gary Crowley as “rather gorgeous, a sumptuous sound”, their melodic sensibility is underpinned by sweeping electronics, urgent hip-hop beats and dark lyrical content. This is music that both soothes and startles. Recent Press:

Binary Band

Binary Band is formed of the sparring vocal harmonies, dobro (slide guitar) and harmonium (missionary organ) of Ali Thoburn and Billy Tudor, and complimented by the occasional electric piano and pieces of catgut, dusty wood and rusty metal. The resulting sound is an earthy, wide-screen brew of American roots, English psychedelia, film soundtracks, North African blues and Far Eastern influences that brings to mind Neil Young, The Low Anthem, Peter Gabriel, The Band, Tinariwen and Traffic.
