Big Joan

Big Joan are a band formed in Southampton in 1999 and currently based in Bristol. They play a distinctive, bass-heavy style of music influenced both by alternative rock and electronic dance styles such as jungle and breakcore. As a result, they have played at free parties and rave-orientated club nights as well as venues on the indie circuit. Though they have released material on other labels, the main outlet for their music is their own Blood Red Sounds imprint which has also released music by bands such as Mooz, Geisha and Hunting Lodge.

War Against Sleep

"What is the War Against Sleep?"The Casio-psychosis of a moral dyslexic squeezing out songs like glue to hold himself together. The act of picking cigarette ends off the floor because you like the taste of cheap lipstick. Love crafted from a night in with Teletext and Benylin. A suit, stained with the amphetamine sweat-beads of your worst porno nightmare. A stolen suit, a borrowed suit, a dead man's suit, a dead-skin mask. Dance with me, you syphilitic tramp. I love you.

Robh Hokum

Gentle acoustic numbers with a wonderful scratchy sound and background fuzz that makes it feel like a lost folk recording from distant days past. Listen closer
and a world of haunting alternatives to the everyday that would turn Lewis Carroll green with envy are slowly revealed.

Babel

Babel like "Bay-bull". Not "bar-bell" or "babble", were born in Bristol in the UK. Babel "started out all kind of small, folky & a bit shy, but then fell in dirty love with pounding tamborines and volume knobs." Songs led to concerts, concerts led to the recording two self-financed EPs, 'The Golden Acre EP' & 'The Arc EP'. Both were sold from tables in tiny venues. Some of which reached places far beyond their own postcode. In 2007, People Tree Records of London, UK released the majority of their two EPs to the world on one reasonably priced compact disc & weighty slab of vinyl.
