Popfuture is the work of Edmund Ward, an electronic musician based in North London. He has been writing music since the mid-nineties and saw some success back in the day with a band called Eggboy in which he collaborated with his brother John Jo Ward. Edmund originally comes from Malvern in Worcestershire and draws inspiration from his fairly unusual upbringing, living in the middle of nowhere, in a terrifying Victorian house and the youngest of a family of 11 children (all by the same Catholic parents). As luck would have it, Ed's taste in music is also catholic (small c). Drawing on transcendent melodies from Thomas Tallis to Brian Eno, the fine quantised beats of Kraftwerk, the complexity and humour of Aphex Twin, the sneer of Lou Reed, the mystique of Pink Floyd (prior to Gilmour's appalling last three albums) and the hugeness of Justice (French duo). Ed is pretty much switched on by any genre of well crafted music, art, comedy or film.

English alt-country band formed by Jof Owen from The Boy Least Likely. Inspired by a long standing love of country music and memories of growing up watching Pebble Mill and listening to Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins, they were formed in the Summer of 2014. Their songs combine a classic old country sound with an honest and unmistakable English indie pop charm. Heartfelt and uplifting with a truckload of chicken pickin' and country swagger thrown in.

Produced by Rob Jones (Pictish Trail, Meilyr Jones, Rozi Plain), their second album, Anything But Country, is due to be released in 2022. Adding eighties synths to their neo-traditionalist country sound, they’ve doubled down on their love of Dire Straits and nineties country and recorded ten blistering cuts of what they’re calling “Drivetime” country; hi-NRG country pop with an eighties heartland rock power pulsing through the middle of it.

Their debut album was released to glowing reviews and great support at radio from Bob Harris on Radio 2, Chris Country Radio, Baylen Leonard on Amazing Radio and Cerys Matthews on 6 music, as well as other roots and country shows across the UK and the Rough Trade shop. The Saturday Dads was also the Record Of The Week on Absolute Radio. They’ve played headline shows across London at The Social, The Barfly, The Ace Hotel, Rough Trade East, The Lexington and The Slaughtered Lamb, as well as supporting Roddy Woomble, Cale Tyson and Karl Blau in the UK and appearing at Country To Country, Maverick, End Of The Road and Truck Festival.

The band line up is:

Jof Owen – vocals
Adam Chetwood – Lead guitar
Rich Thane – Guitar
Sophie Moss – Bass
Rob Jones - Drums

Aside from the tongue-in-cheek band name, the only hint of irony here derives from the fact that one of the most exciting country bands around at the moment comes from the English home counties, not Nashville.
