White Ape 2011 - 2018: After 7 years we have decided to call it a day. Thanks for all your support. You can still buy and stream our records in all the usual places.

SOTONES10: Ten Years of Sotones, double VINYL album featuring Eat More Meat out now on Sotones Records.

“Too smart...their heads spin with ideas. Truly fab and ready for mass attention” - John Robb, Louder Than War

"Genius Lyrics and great vocal delivery. Thank God there are still bands telling it like it is" - Tom Robinson BBC6music

“raw and subversive...takes no prisoners”  - The Vinyl District

“superb journey of conundrum” - Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands

"tons of attitude and a DIY ethic embedded in their bones" - Artrocker

"Don’t forget your dancing feet as the scintillating reference points of ska, rock-a-billy and Morricone will sweep you on to the dance-floor." - Tim Whale, Emerging Indie Bands

"Just waiting for Quentin Tarantino to snap them up for one of his soundtracks" - Nick Tann, Is This Thing On?

"Marvellous little jocular but oft times intense garage combo wherein The Cramps, The Fall and The Minutemen get given a  wonky pop makeover to much effect."

"White Ape are causing a stir with the likes of Steve Lamacq – and it ain't stir crazeee. Their splice-the-mainbrace nautical approach to punk rocknroll has some swish rancid post punk elements, some Cave-ish quarters, a singer who sounds like Sean Ryder on a punky tip and the occasional foray into drrty cod reggae. But now rejigged with a little beat group classiness and some hot and frenzied songcraft, White Ape have really embraced their inner Sky Saxons..." - Bugbear Promotions

“Deranged twisted psych punk.... sounds like a bunch of tanked-up tarantulas dressed in dinner jackets tip-toeing down a dark alleyway. Welcome to the cult world of white ape...”  -  FEED YOUR HEAD

Post Rock / Apocalyptic Euphoria / Live Electronica

Haunted Stereo are an alt-folk/ indie/ experimental six-piece line-up from Southampton.
  
  Originally founded in late 2007, the band plays over 15 instruments between them. Creating intricate layers of sound with an array of melodic instruments – including banjo, mandolin, accordion, piano, violin, recorder, electric guitar, melodica and percussion - , Haunted Stereo are very much about the thrills and fun that is to be had from playing live music together.
  
  The band have supported numerous critically acclaimed acts such as Rough Trade prodigees The Veils, folk-hero Johnny Flynn, neo-orchestral cult act The Irrepressibles and American jazz swing act Hot Club of Cowtown, as well as pop gems Thomas Tantrum and Micachu and The Shapes. But the group are also very much embedded in the local Southampton Scene, frequently playing for nights such as Ejector Seat and Long Live Rock'n'Roll.
  
  Following their debut EP "In Bars", Haunted Stereo released their second EP "Tree House" on 28th March 09 on Whoopsydaisychain Records, and the title tracks of both have been played on Xfm, BBC6 Music and BBC1, amongst others.
  
  “Twee Nu-folkers” (NME)
  
  “Pop it in your stereo to count the instruments/ confuse your neighbours/ accrue kudos for your eclecticism. Or just listen and enjoy.” (The Fly, Review of In Bars EP)
  
  “A quirky mix of alt-folk, country and indie.” (Tom Robinson, BBC6)
  
  "'Childhood's End' is the stand-out track, showcasing the band's technical nous, collective enthusiasm, melodic triumphalism and genre shredding powers of arrangement." (The Fly Live Review)
  
  "Haunted Stereo have a twee-folk multi-instrumental technicolour sound that is pleasingly popular at present, showcasing the range of sound and the spine-tingling imagination that some people having fun playing music can create." (God Is In The TV Zine)
  
  "It is so refreshing to hear quirky music played with real talent rather than it being quirky just to disguise a lack of!" (Southscene)
  
  "A unique folk edged sound." (digitalgig.co.uk)
  
  "An insistent, caramel junket of string, guitar and bass that juts out at odd angles." (The Stool Pigeon)
  
  "This is not an orchestra or a barnyard dance but rather, well, I don’t know what the hell this is!" (Ether Magazine)
  
  "Multi-facetted indie/alt-folk from an exciting young act from sunny Southampton." (Spoonfed)
  
  "Southamptons finest songsters and a joy to my ears. I waited three years to hear these people become a band and it was well worth the wait. Imagine the soundtrack to your perfect day out in Paris and that's the sound of Haunted Stereo." (Joel Ransom, Promoter) 

Formerly ORESTEIA

...herein lay melodramatic tales of pride, desperation, lust, yearning and more, between and beyond. Fuelled by a theatrical, eclectic sound, these pathos-laden vignettes are delivered by six eccentric custodians of a new heroic age...

"Throbbing with a post-Medievil vibe that howls through the baroque-pop of this left-field troupe...mongers of the avant-garde and story-tellers sent from the dark ages. Their eclectic swarm of eruptive eerily melodic theatrics coo like some neo-mythological jaw-snapping tyrant. Abundant is haunting licks, spooky undertones and a front-man who stalks the stage with assertion, they’re not only a talented bunch of chaps, they’re one of the most out-there acts we’ve heard." - Dan Jones (Psychedelia, Playmusic Magazine)

I removed all my music from here due to Soundclouds AI training controversy.
You can still listen to my music on the following links

Sotones is a not-for-profit indie co-operative label based in Southampton UK. We promote and release music by a wide variety of artists.


Since their formation at Glastonbury Festival 2002, the ever-evolving collective Moulettes have forged an uncommon course. Over the years, The Moulettes have become an extended family tree, a musical ecosystem with tentacles in London, Manchester, Brighton, Bristol, Berlin, Montreal and more. From the avant-folk of their early al- bums to cinematic orchestral arrangements and big riffs, this is a band who put creativity at the heart of everything they do.

Moulettes have had support from all over the world, with praise and appreciation in the parallel worlds of Folk, Prog and Indie. Key supporters include BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio 2, The Independent, MOJO, The Guardian, PROG Magazine, Music Week, Metro & The Evening Standard. As they reinvent and reimagine themselves at every stage with a revolving cast of exceptional musicians, Moulettes music is always distinctively recognisable.

I write music and lyrics to a deadline for money.
