Home Service

Home Service was a British folk rock or electric folk band, formed in late 1980 from a nucleus of musicians who had been playing in Ashley Hutchings' Albion Band. Their short career is generally agreed to have peaked with the album Alright Jack, which is usually considered one of the finest products of the electric folk genre and has been highly influential on later work. Several members of the band, including most obviously John Tams, have gone on to very successful solo careers and to take part in other significant projects.

Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve

Anonymity has become both a gift and a curse for the blogosphere — a “gift” for feeding our hunger, and a “curse” for, well, not informing us as to who is feeding us. Burial has the world eating out of his hand, picking and choosing various publications access and admitting truths like “only five people know I make tunes.” Argh. And then there are the artists that leave you a message that reads: “If you are wondering who we are, we will soon reveal all.. we are planning some wonderful all night parties, we wear belts with huge buckles and we play the best music ever.

Firegarden

"We are band with a multitude of influences. The band we look up to more than any other is Deep Purple but we like a whole range of things you might expect and a whole lot more you wouldn't. We sound British, but not slavishly so, and appeal to a wide range of people with excellent musical taste including students, bikers and those who were there in the 70s. We've played more than 150 gigs and recorded five independent albums. The most recent of these was Circles, released earlier this year.
