Well Hung Heart

Well Hung Heart is the brand new project from Greta Valenti (Fuji Minx) and Robin Davey (The Bastard Fairies, The Hoax). Greta Valenti’s pint size frame certainly belies the strength and power of her vocal delivery. Mixing simmering whispers with belting choruses, her veracious vocals and stinging lyrics are refreshingly diverse.
Her partner in crime is an Englishman named Robin Davey. He is a multi-instrumentalist, old school guitar slinger, and the youngest inductee into the British Blues Hall of Fame.

Gemma Mewse

She's a movement she says...she's a soulfully voiced but edgy blonde chick doing a gutsy rock tinged pop music - if Ellie Goulding can do something she certainly should...pretty impressive for mainstream based femme fronted pop. The songs/delivery are really quite interesting for something basically in the Britney via Gwen Stefani mould.''
-Bugbear Promotions - Gemma Mewse is a seasoned performer. She has crammed more into her youthful 18 years than most do in a lifetime.

It's been only four years since Kiesza (pronounced Kye-za) wrote her first song on her mother's old guitar. "I knew that my mom had a guitar in storage in the house," she says. "My parents got divorced when I was 18 and I had a lot of emotions going on and I went searching for it. When I found it and started playing it, I wrote a song that first day.

Engo

Others about ENGO: 3voor12 (The Netherlands):
"'Cause of their mixture of several cool genres and music, you can't put ENGO in one category. They are musically really good and have a mindblowing stage presence. The band's enthusiasm is contagious. The melodic songs and fanatic moves are a succesful combination." Autona Magazine (Germany):
"Indie-Rock, somewhere between Nirvana, No Doubt in their early days, the legendary Doors and Wir Sind Helden. Yet ENGO, adding Jazz and 70s Funk influences, still manages to maintain its own style!"
