This Modern Hope,  based in  West London

Drawing on influences such as Death Cab For Cutie, Doves and his brother's record collection, This Modern Hope's sound is classic yet fresh, switching seamlessly from up-tempo, driving rock to stirring ballads, Rob's soulful voice floating effortlessly over the melodies as the beats flow. Lyrically deep and with a heady vocal intricacy, the songs come straight from the heart and leave a lasting impression that words can't describe. 

With a strong musical pedigree, masses of talent and a little help from some friends, This Modern Hope's tunes are ready to be heard.

Lois are a three piece rock and roll band from Nottingham comprising John Selby, Rich Spencer and Adrian Maguire. Influenced by some of the greatest British and US bands of the 60s and early 70s, Lois have crafted a characteristic sound all of their own that blends a retro-tinged coolness with a fresh and exciting modern edge.

Their debut album “The Polperro Horse Bus Company” was released independently in 2014 via Neon Grove Music and the band have steadily increased a large and loyal following in their hometown whilst supporting the record, by playing support slots to established signed bands and playing their own headline shows at well-respected venues around the City.

On attracting the attention of BBC Radio stalwart DJ Mark Radcliffe, he has championed the band on both his BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music shows in the UK, spinning their tunes to large national audiences regularly and noting that “Lois have managed to pull off that most difficult of tricks - sounding authentically retro whilst simultaneously being absolutely contemporary. Nice one lads”

They have worked with renowned Producers/Engineers Guy Massey (Beatles remasters, Manic Street Preachers), Jim Spencer (The Charlatans, The Cribs, New Order) and Jon Astley (The Who, The Small Faces) during both the recording of their debut E.P. ‘Velvet Mornings’ and the debut album and receiving glowing reviews in the press for both their live show and recorded work:
