Emily Breeze

With her psychobilly bad-girl vibe Bristol girl Emily Breeze "comes on like Elvis, Nick Cave and Patti Smith playing a baptist preacher all rolled into one. Her striking bequiffed persona rocks, swaggers and plays holy southern hell out of a beautiful white guitar. Along with her partners in crime, drummer Dan and bassist John, she "plays songs of love and faillure with more sweat and energy than a hundred simpering indie boy bands," says Artrocker magazine. Stool Pigeon says they can be "schlocky, silly, derivative" but at the same time "bloody brilliant".
