At long last a band is being recognised for the influence it has had without the commercial acclaim that some of their songs deserved.
This seminal Bristol band consisted of a nucleus of Chris Galvin (bass) and David Woodward (vocals and guitars) with Bob Morris (drums) plus various others during their ten years of existence.
Through various styles they created a unique Bristol slant on the 80's which was never deemed glamorous by the press or music gliterrati in general. Some may say that the Bristol scene was insular but it was really about being yourself and getting on with things.

Si, Gaz and Andy have been playing as MOF since 2004, and reside in Bristol, UK. Si has a cat (Mittens). Gaz and Andy have a weasel (Si). They all agree that Roger Moore was the best James Bond. Over the years, they have played with Pissed Jeans, Nine Black Alps and Ivory Springer. Following EP releases in 2004 and 2005, MOF released their debut album, 'I Think I'm Made Out Of Robots', in 2007. This was generally considered to be a good thing.

Following a trail of inspiration, leading from the Pavements and Junglelands of the US to the remote parts of Scotland, Farthing Wood emerge from the foliage eager to spread the word about the places they slept, loved, escaped and dreamed of along the way.

Santa Dog play sparkly, sassy, summer-soaked pop with chiming guitars and a sinister perimeter. Think Blondie going two rounds with the Throwing Muses on the edge of a cliff with a stiff breeze whipping up skirts and causing mischief and you're still nowhere near capturing the band's distinctive sound and uniquely English charm. This Bristol-based four piece have have released three EPs(Delicate, Chemical and Belle De Jour), an album(Kittyhawk on Quince Records), a vinyl 7"(Big Bang on Sounds Xp) and are due to release 'Spark It Up' in November 2008.
