Once there were three.

The Son(s) released their self-titled album with Olive Grove in 2011 to much critical acclaim (thank you Drowned in Sound). 

The subsequent ten track mini LP, ‘Leviathan', recorded overwinter in an empty Edinburgh tenement, is a thing of real beauty and includes The List single of the month ‘If I Hear You Talk Apostrophes Again’ - “untrammelled DIY glam-strop” - (kudos Nicola Meighan).

The Son(s) second album, 'The Things I Love Are Not at Home' followed in 2014, which included collaborations with SAY Award winner RM Hubbert and Pete MacDonald (Randolph's Leap/State Broadcasters) and single ‘Death, With Castanets’ - “a giddy, all-too-brief slice of bookish, psychedelic pop”.

In 2018 & 19 a new line up of The Son(s) played several low-key shows supporting the likes of Kathryn Joseph, Randolphs Leap & RM Hubbert in Glasgow & Edinburgh - road testing a new set of songs. These songs are due to make up a new Son(s) LP, due to trouble your ears sometime before the apocalypse hits in the early 2020’s.
 

The List - "Grammatical funk, cross-dressing blues and skewed-folk despotism never sounded so full of the joys of spring" 

Daily Record - “So well crafted and honey-dipped in harmonies that it's hard to stay tethered to your home"

The Herald - “A psychedelic-folk wonderland, with vocals gorgeously behind the beat and music intrepidly ahead of the pack.”

Drowned in Sound - "...like the menopause in surround sound..”

EleMenT / tRANSELEMENt were active from 1994 - 2004 and performed 2 John Peel sessions, released some music on Creeping Bent and Melodic Records, pissed off Ed from 4AD because their live sound was nothing like their recorded sound and made some of the most alternative, unusual and well crafted music in the UK. John Peel said they were 'weird'. The world's most undiscovered band. All their music is available on Bandcamp and here for FREE.

Autorotation were known as Bleep when they formed in 2001 in Toronto, Canada.  Moved to London in 2007 after doing gigs predominantly in Europe. 

Never knowlingly 'popular', they have managed to maintain a unique blend of natural acoustics and pure digital electronica, mainly through Igor's insatiable interest in digital audio software and Robyn's more manually-powered end of things - classically trained vocals and acoustic instruments.

By day, Igor is also a physicist and Robyn a piano tuner.

Betty Poison is a female-fronted Berlin based band.

They performed all over Europe (Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland), in the U.S.A. and in Japan, where they were endorsed by Gibson guitars.

Under the label Fastermaster Records they released the 5 tracks EP "Uncool" (2008) and two full length albums: "Poison for you" (2009) and "Beauty is over" (April 2011).

They were the opening act for Courtney Love and Hole in Milan and Rome (February and August 2010).

Four songs from the cd "Poison for you" were distributed by 20th Century Fox HE alongside the dvd of "Megiddo".

The song "Time", from the cd "Beauty is over", was the soundtrack for a performance by Anton Perich, long time photographer for Andy Warhol . It took place in New York and was shot by Minimal Cinema.

At the moment Betties have just finisged recording their new EP with Boris Wilsdorf, Einstürzende Neubauten's producer.
