• Holiday Ghosts • (FatCat Records / PNKSLM)
Holiday Ghosts, quit your corporate job, put laptop in shredder, walk away, go outside, remember what the Clean, the Go Betweens and the Modern Lovers once promised you: a life cracked open with fresh new possibilities. Three songwriters revel in lyrics descended down from Ray Davies’ 3rd person tales of landlords, bathing suits, shopping malls, the northstreet air. Based in Brighton via Falmouth on the south coast of England, Holiday Ghosts conjur the airy fun of Richard Brautigan if he had a band and was from England and wasn’t a hippie or a beatnick and he didn’t wear those big hats or have that mustache and his name wasn’t Richard, or Brautigan, and he wasn’t a writer or an artist of any kind.

• Mt. Misery • (Prefect Records)
Homespun songcraft fresh out of the Tees Valley, last seen for us in support to Porridge Radio and Blue Bendy. A much-overdue return!
"Mt. Misery sit in that fine lineage of Northern bands who battle encroaching darkness with luminous, endlessly beautiful pop songs... A haloed piece of Northern guitar pop" - Clash
FFO Teenage Fanclub / Big Star / Real Estate

• Ubiquitous Meh! • (FatCat Records)
Starting out as an organ and drum machine solo project for Luke Richards, the Meh! are now a fully-fledged band. They still only record to 4-track and still only do seven song records - pushing the old Hohner into every corner of the experimental pop landscape. They've made albums for Buried Treasure, their own label Damnsonic, and have a two-album set coming out on FatCat in the new year.
"Reminds me of the kind of post-punk indie releases John Peel would introduce on his radio show around 1979-80... entertaining and intriguing at the same time." - Fear and Loathing
FFO Young Marble Giants / Dead Moon / the Stranglers
