Six-Piece Manchester band, specialising in deviance, decadence, and debauchery. Not all of our songs are about killing and drinking, but most of them are.

Sound engineer, producer, podcaster and general lark. 
Talking to people about stuff, but mostly things.

David Gorman writes songs that feel lived-in - fragments of conversations, memories, and moments that pass between people. With just his guitar and an unfiltered voice, he captures the beauty and ache of being human: the tenderness, the missteps, the humour tucked into sadness. David Gorman brings a rare honesty to his songwriting - proof that sometimes the simplest songs say the most.

Dead Question are a Blues Rock/Grunge band based in Leicester. We write in the style of Jack White, QOTSA & Led Zeppelin.

Caitlin Gilligan is from the rolling hills of rural Galloway. Now based in the North-West of England, her songs still echo the wildness of her Scottish youth. Stirring age-old folk songs into a set of bare-boned and poetically-crafted originals, she demonstrates refreshing insight whilst simultaneously summoning the voices of times gone by. She draws much inspiration from folk giants such as Anne Briggs, Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen as well as traditional vocal music of Scotland, Ireland and America.
She has supported artists such as Martin Carthy, Martin Simpson, Sam Amidon, Rachel Sermanni, Emily Portman and The Rails. She played her debut Cambridge Folk Festival in 2019, where she was a selected highlight on The Den Stage.
“..she sings with a singular clear-eyed intensity of her own.” Folk Radio

Just another fella who can't afford therapy so writes songs.

Dirty Blues, 80's vibes, heavy riffs and stomping beats, all contribute to the soundscape of Neon Fuzz. The Jav'lins provide a solid combination of thundering beats and bluesy riffs, and have been compared to the likes of The Kills, Royal blood, The Dead Weather and the Black keys. As a 3 piece they all make as much sound as possible, with 3 part harmonies, subtle electronic samples, and added percussion to enhance the live performance.

Be sure to catch The Jav'lins at the next live show.
