Daisy Dares You

Daisy Dares You is a 16-year-old future pop sensation from a sleepy little village in rural Essex. "I might be young, but I'm really not some blonde little dolly girl," she says. "And I'm not gonna be a helpless artist. I know what I want, and the only way it'll come out that way is if I do it. That much is true and may go some way to explaining how someone born in 1993 (1993!) has already managed to craft a clutch of surefire pop hits.

The B Of The Bang

The B of the Bang is a lo-fi, electronica-tinged, anti-folk cake with a gothic, grunge icing. Topped with fuzzy reverb cherries. The B of the Bang is, in some instances, the lonesome journey of an acoustic troubador. The B of the Bang is, in other instances, a collection of musicians with a revolving line-up (and a couple of regulars propping up the musical bar). The B of the Bang gigs may come in various formats, be it a knackered acoustic guitar, playing detuned, lo-fi, gothic folk with a special box-o-tricks that makes bleeps and fuzzy noises gurgling contentedly in the background.
