The real Dead Oceans, an independent record label based in Bloomington, IN.

Mourning Singers are an alternative rock band from South Yorkshire, in the North of England. Started initially as a recording project the band has evolved in both line-up and sound; from brooding lo-fi roots into a solid, but still arguably melancholic indie outfit. Mourning Singers prioritise song-writing over superficial gimmickry: Interlocking melodies and intricate beats accompany the intriguing lyrics delivered by the haunting baritone of singer Richard Myers. Mourning Singers' music has been inspired by a variety of artists and styles, including Radiohead, Joy Division, Death Cab For Cutie, The National and Wilco.

Formed in the grim dark days of the latter half of the 80s, Passion-Play have always been an either/or sort of band: either Tony Nicholson is wallowing in gothic sadness or he's licking sticky-sweet cotton-candy pop from his sugar coated fingers.
They recorded a live album, a popular cassette sold at gigs, got radio play and gigs up and down the UK and they met the 90s in buoyant mood but nevertheless, one year in they split.
In the intervening years songs were written only to exist in vaporous rumour, demoed to quietly lie in sheltered darkness until 2012 came along and something incredible happened.
The original master of the live album was re-mastered and cleaned and the results were surprisingly good – so it was released for free download from their bandcamp site and made available for streaming. In a few short weeks it gained over 2000 plays prompting the band to reform. 
In rehearsals the magic was incredible as long dormant songs just sprang into life and soon they were gigging again both acoustic and electric style.
Now they are three and have new recordings (the old songs re-imagined) together with brand new as they prepare to release a new album and ep.

Somewhere between Gothic glam and post punk power pop, 
Passion-Play make real their songs of darkness and dismay. 
Charting desire, obsession, lust and murder their ouvré gives vent to all human frailties.
Give yourself up to your desires! 
Bare your neck - they promise to bite!!

Composer and designer of all things weird and wonderful in the world of audio...........

Known for their blasts of stomping fuzzed-up indie guitar, savage riffs and hook-heavy choruses; Yorkshire’s FloodHounds deliver tight rabble-rousing live shows; bursting with startlingly jagged guitar, driving bass and wild rhythmic drums. Lyrically catchy, the Indie rock trio’s powerful punk-infused and darkly melodic tunes, stay with you long after the gig. 

FloodHounds latest new single  ‘Black & Blue’ is a frenetic punk tempest of a tune, and the swaggering leviathan of monstrously heavy riffs. Already recorded, their next single, ‘Own Worst Enemy’ will be out later this year accompanied by a swathe of gigs across the UK.

FloodHounds recent singles have all scored numerous track of the week spots, repeat spins on BBCintroducing and even editorial playlists Apple Music's All New Rock and Amazon’s Breakthrough Rock.

2025 began with the release of an animated video for 'Near-Life Experience' by VFX artist Grainfreeze (Oasis, Noel Gallagher). This followed the surreal experience of a Japanese film crew independently creating their own music video for 'Quicksand’. Other recent highlights for the band include being shortlisted for Kerrang/Marshall Records competition for a slot at Download Festival. The band received encouraging songwriting advice from Noel Gallagher to ramp up the attitude, which paid off when that spirit was channeled into their fiery single ‘One Horse Race’ which immediately leapfrogged previous singles streaming numbers on release. 

Floodhounds have played live all over the UK, playing sets on the festival circuit at Isle Of Wight Festival, Brighton Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Live at Leeds and Tramlines fringe, as well as played sold out support slots with the likes of Kid Kapichi, The Blinders, PINS, Projector, King Nun, Strange Bones & Calva Louise. The band have also ventured abroad to play in Paris twice at the iconic Parisian venues Supersonic and Le Truskel.

After forming as a duo in late 2013 and hitting the music scene in the UK in early 2014, the newly expanded 4-piece Rock/Pop/Indie band "Ginger Tom" have been taking audiences by storm.

Their melodic, harmony-driven songs are strong and concise from the outset, and having been touring as a 4 piece for less than a year have already supported ‘The South’, ‘Go West’, and prog legends ‘Marillion’ at their 2015 convention.

"As soon as I heard their first song, I thought, Brilliant ! At last, a proper band, great vocals, well crafted songs and some great musicianship"

- Stuart Epps, 2014

"When I first listened to Ginger Tom it was because it's my job to do so. 6 Months on, I now listen to them because it is my pleasure to do so. I don't just play their tracks on my radio show, I play them on my car stereo on the school run - because there is no better way to start the day than singing along to "7 Years"

- Christian Carlisle - BBC Introducing, 2014
