⚡️Ellis D⚡️
(Brighton, UK - Indie Rock)

Best known as the manic drummer behind the garage-psych outfit Strange Cages, and more recently Jealous Nostril, ELLiS·D spent ten years flailing his limbs across the tattered kits of UK and Europe’s basement scene before starting out his solo project in 2021. After signing with DIY label Crafting Room Recordings at the turn of the 2022, the ensuing 15 months has seen him in a state of near consistent gigging and touring throughout the sweaty dives of the continent, bringing his raw, mercurial live performance to stages from London to Luxembourg, Bristol to Brussels, Kendal to Kusel.
Backed by a near-continuously shifting set of session musicians on his tours, in the studio ELLiS·D channels the workhorse-like energy of fellow multi-instrumentalists Ty Segall, Prince and Kevin Parker to mould a sound that at once feels familiar but also completely his own, embodying the extravagance and glam-pop sensibilities of the likes of Marc Bolan and New York Dolls with the lyrical sensitivity and intensity of The Smiths and Jehnny Beth, to create something almost uniquely contradictory. Jangly, threadbare guitar riffs weave their way through CAN inspired rhythmic pulses as hook-smeared repetitions and explosive, abstract vocal acrobatics flow and fight their way into psych-driven instrumentals.
After two self-produced EP’s recorded on a shoestring in his mysterious Brighton studio space (known only to its inhabitants as ‘The Carwash’) sold out separate limited cassette runs, February 2023 single ‘Straitjacket Blues’ signified a marked shift as ELLiS·D began exploring new territory with tinges of new wave and disco infused kraut rock weaving its way into his music, gaining consistent radio play from Tom Robinson at BBC Radio 6 alongside support slots for Razorlight at Brighton Dome and Hammersmith Apollo in April 2023.

⚡️Joanie⚡️

Joanie released her debut EP ‘Neurotica’ in March via Permanent Creeps. ‘Neurotica’ has been produced by fellow music adventurer Jessica Winter. It’s disco-inflected, elegant pop that is smart and confident and the perfect introduction to this compelling new artist. Joanie has received a lot of press excitement from the likes of She Makes Music, DIY, Dazed & Confused, Wonderland, Paper Magazine and Notion Previous single release videos from this EP Kerosene Schadenfreude. The record pulls you into the darkness, captivating the listener with its siren songs. Drown out the floods and slowly scorching earth with disco decadence and melodic hooks, all grounded in the unique, spellbinding charisma of Joanie. The modern world can feel dystopian, but Joanie invites you to dance away the fear with glitter and excess, with an EP produced by Jessica Winter. Joanie will be supporting The Black Lips 25th April at Heaven, London.

⚡️KARAMEL CRAFT⚡️
(Paris/Seattle - Indie Punk)

Groupe signé sur le fameux label de Jarvis Cocker "French Fries"
Karamel Craft est né en avril 2021 de la passion commune de deux musiciens pour le Seattle Sound depuis leur adolescence.
Anthony Serina (Lyar, A Shape, Captain Fuzz, Nova Wild) à la batterie et au chant et Fanny Oudet, guitare et chant, ont mis en commun cette passion pour composer en l’espace de quatre mois neuf chansons originales qui font voyager au gré de leur univers West Coast des années 1990 (Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Hole, Riot Grrrrl bands…), un rock lourd et nostalgique enrichi de leurs expériences musicales respectives.
Julien Gracia (Joypang, les Frères Bouchard) les a rejoint à la basse, enrichissant les créations du groupe de ses influences punk et de jazz manouche avec un son à la fois percutant et mélodique. Le résultat est un mélange détonnant qui rappelle des sonorités issues du passé mais qui demeurent obstinément contemporaines.
Leur premier album, au titre éponyme, est disponible depuis février 2022 notamment sur le site bandcamp (https://karamelcraft.bandcamp.com) et est disponible au format cd depuis septembre 2022.
