Forming in October 2009 through Access To Music, We Can't Dance exploded on to the Norwich scene with a bang. Following a stage invasion at the first gig and a large number of cd's vanishing within seconds, the band then started 2010 with a gig at the Norwich Arts Centre which ended in similar fashion. Harry Dawson (vocals, guitar) - left 2011
Josie Steward (vocals, guitar)
Tom Joy (vocals, bass)
Dom Taylor (drums)

Beat Ratio is a London based solo artist producing focused electro-pop tunes with an old school approach. Working exclusively on cassette, from the initial ideas to the final masters, he uses the limitations imposed by tape as an incentive for creativity and a way to escape the perfectionism of music software.
