After more than a decade of music-making, Durand Jones & The Indications have blossomed as a unit and are basking in their successes. On their aptly titled new album, Flowers, The Indications unfurl their true colors — embracing all their roots and influences, maturation and confidence, and share them with the world. 
 
Since forming in 2012, the road has taken The Indications from those origins at Indiana University, Bloomington to the global stage, selling out shows across Europe, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand to the West Coast— where DJI has a strong following among the lowrider and vintage soul enthusiasts.
 
For as far as Durand Jones & The Indications have come, Flowers grew from the desire to return to their roots in a Bloomington basement, a space where they first found camaraderie in gritty funk and Southern soul that would inspire their self-titled debut.  
 
Pulling sonically and spiritually from each of the group's previous releases and solo work, Flowers is the next stage of DJI's inspired soulful discography. DJI are not only accepting their flowers, but indulging in their sweet and sexy fragrance.

The Grenadiers  are a band who immediately strikes with their edgy personality and a really original approach to songwriting. Influenced by the best 60s bands and beyond, The group is all about crafting energetic, yet catchy hooks, which resonate with the audience on a more personal level. The group’s songs are all about tight riffs and engaging vocal lines, which work well in the studio and on stage: The Grenadiers even opened for The Blockheads recently, playing to an audience of over 600 people at The Art Centre in Colchester, exposing their music to a brand new audience!

As a member of such semi-legends as The Prisoners, The Solarflares, JTQ, Thee Headcoats and now Graham Day & the Forefathers (amongst a much longer list), Allan Crockford played an important part in establishing the Medway area's reputation as a hotbed for spirited, uncompromising garage rock with a strong DIY ethic. Playing with such Medway notables as Billy Childish, James Taylor and Graham Day his reputation was as a reliable sideman for more flamboyant figures. But as time went by he found a late flowering talent for writing his own material, and The Galileo 7 were formed to play the songs he stored up while still playing with other bands.
While The Galileo 7 still have the trademark punk ('66 and '76 versions) fire and energy that marks out the Medway sound, there are extra elements in the music that shifts it away from the trademark crashbangwhallop... call it pop-psych, psych-mod, punkadelic, powerpop or whatever you like. If it's energy you're after you won't be disappointed, but there are also tunes and harmonies by the bucketload to guarantee that these songs hang around in your head long after the initial sonic impact has faded. Now, with a new souped-up line-up featuring the almost legendary Mole (Embrooks, Higher State, Mystreated & head of State Records) on drums, The Galileo 7 are cranking up the energy levels even more - check out the recent "Tear Your Minds Wide Open!" album on Damaged Goods for proof!
