Nat the Hammer is the solo alter-ego of Nathan Loughran, lead singer with The Reverse. More stripped down, wordy and acoustic, any songs that don't find a home in the World of The Reverse often end up here.

Nat the Hammer’s songs have been liken
ed to the delicate ruminations of an early Leonard Cohen or the lo-fi anti-folk of a Jeffrey Lewis. The focus is more on simple melodies and narrative led lyrics than The Reverse, though informed throughout by a dark humour and a steadfast refusal to take himself seriously.

The Reverse is a North London guitar band making an urgent, literate style of indie-rock. New LP "Which Way Out" was released 24/04/20 on Blang Records. 3 EPs and debut LP came out between 2006-20013. The band have played at festivals incl Great Escape and Standon Calling and shared stages with acts like IDLES, and The Wave Pictures. ‘Abstract Heart’, was in Gary Crowley’s top songs of 2018
