Beds In Parks release their debut single ‘Mabel (When It Gets Dark)’  coupled with ‘Something To Do’ through Crocodile Records on 20th April 2015. 

“I like you, I like you, I like you – ” chant Finnigan Kidd and Joanna Curwood 
in unison as ‘Mabel (When It Gets Dark)’ comes to a heady climax, before it falls into 
an extended instrumental. This is a life-affirming dance floor filling piece of DIY pop: distorted vocals; pounding floor toms; loud guitars. 

“It’s all about having fun, a home-made approach, rock ‘n’ roll energy,  
and an illicit lesbian affair” Finnigan 

‘Something To Do’ really brings out the emotive qualities in the male and female vocals 
as they harmonise over a more wistful tempo. It will still get you dancing -- but you may hold someone’s hand this time. 

“Something To Do is about the modern day hang-up people have of feeling they have to be sociable and talkative, or else be thought odd.” Joanna

Beds In Parks came about with Joanna Curwood (Big Sister, The Diddlers, The History of Apple Pie) and Finnigan Kidd (Hatcham Social, Tim Burgess, Blue Moon) spending all last summer hanging out in Hackney Downs park writing songs together. They found inspiration from a shared love of alternative rock ‘n’ roll music like The Velvets, PJ Harvey, Iggy, The Vaselines, Mary Chain, Mazzy Star and The Breeders. And all things DIY. 

Recorded themselves at home, these tracks are the sound of two people together in the moment, playing their hearts out.

They will be playing their debut live show at the single pre-release party at Crocodile Club, Ryans Bar, 181 Church Street, Stoke Newington, London, on 8th April.

Something To Do

Not Broody

From Shit Present's self titled 12" EP coming out later in 2015 on Specialist Subject Records.

New band from Iona Cairns (who you may know from Great Cynics) along with members / ex members of Gnarwolves, OK Pilot, The Computers & The Smith Street Band.

SHIT PRESENT - Anxious Type

The Death Of Pop - Gardens

Lead single from Wolf Girl, newly signed to Odd Box Records.

Wolf Girl are Becky, Chris, Carl and Christabel - a garage pop four-piece based in South London with a shared propensity for long walks on the beach, guitars that look like Cadillacs and feral teenagers. Having met each other through being in awkward teenage bands in the South East, they eventually formed in September 2013.
 
Their debut EP ‘Mama’s Boy’ was released on limited edition cassette on Soft Power Records in November 2014, and stays true to the poppy energy of their frenetic live shows. With admirable authenticity, they record and rehearse in an old garage called Bucket East that backs onto the river Wandle, staying faithful to their garage-rock tendencies. It’s been said that they both do and don’t sound like the Ramones, and have also been compared to both the Shop Assistants and Bratmobile. 

Wolf Girl have their own trademarks though, offering a spirited take on powerful, melodic and jagged indie pop that often recalls the noisier aspects of C86.
