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

There is a toughness and tenderness in Randi’s songwriting and performances that has led to comparisons to fellow New Yorkers Lou Reed and Patti Smith. Her gutsy songs are delivered with emotionally stirring melodies, while she cuts deep with her incisive and "honest, provocative lyrics" (The Big Takeover). Her music ignites a fiery sound that can flare up into intense explosions of emotion or simmer with a calm fury. Cynicism meets optimism in her "dark, brooding outsider anthems, [with] brilliant lyrics, casually graceful charisma and a voice like bloodstained velvet." (Lucid Culture)

After a few overseas tours and shows in the U.S., Randi earned a spot at the Milwaukee Summerfest in 2004, playing alongside main stage artists Crosby, Stills and Nash. She has shared bills with quite a few better-known indie acts (Kimya Dawson, Regina Spektor, Jeffrey Lewis), and has been on an Antifolk compilation along with cult hero Daniel Johnston.

The Village Voice has said, "Randi's someone to keep your eye on... all she needs is one gig opening up for someone like Cat Power and her fame is pretty much guaranteed."

The debut album from Coney Island Sound: Klang!, is released on the Score Draw Music label and accompanied by remixes from Bitmap, Thrash Hat and Minotaur Shock.

It's a collage of light hearted cut-and-paste electronic music made at the seaside by sound archivist, Ewan Gordon.

Coney Island Sound is a project that fuses together samples of old recordings, junkshop synths, found sounds and acoustic instruments in a folk and electronica influenced mix.

Recently, "The Lemonade Song" was chosen as Lauren Laverne's headphones moment on her BBC6 Music breakfast show. 

Additionally Introducing Mr Kellogg was featured on Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone and Klang aired on national and regional BBC Introducing shows including Tom Robinson's show and BBC Across The Line.

Album tracks regularly feature on Amazing Radio.

A previous 7” release from Coney Island Sound was supported by BBC6 Music, BBC Radio Ulster, XFM, Resonance FM and Amazing Radio.
