Maria Jordan

For Maria Jordan it all started one summer day when she was 14. "I was staying at mum's house and noticed a 12-string guitar in the corner of the room," she recalls. "Mum showed me how to play three chords, D, G and C. I returned a week later having written 10 songs. From there I became quite a prolific songwriter, pouring out everything I'd ever wanted to say. My guitar was now part of me, and there was no turning back."

The Tubes

There is more than one group called the Tubes. 1) The Tubes are a San Francisco-based theater rock band, popular in the mid 1970s and early 1980s, known for their live performances that combined music performances with many different unique costumes and in some acts they wore leotards with painted on nipples and pubic hair (neither of which points are relevant for evaluating their artistic/musical/political relevance). They made satires of life in the USA; the media, consumerism, and politics. They were often banned in the Midwest USA.

DualistBand

Dualist: Good & evil. Mind & body. The very name of the band is loaded with antagonism and paradox. Dualist are a rock band based in London. Their songs are a gloriously tense balance of edgy guitar riffs and lovely synths, of plaintive emotion and ebullient excitement, of anger and joy, of power and helplessness. Comparisons to Joy Division come to mind, but calling Dualist post-post-punk is as pointless as it is inelegant.
