attempting hip hop
(rapping and producing)

A post-punk band from South London. 'Tell Your Friends I Give Good Smile/Internal Exile' out now.

"The masses are the decisive element, they are the rock on which the final victory of the revolution will be built."

"A very exciting live band" "They're fabulous live" - Resonance FM

"They've got some bangers" - Resonance FM

"They're very popular already, they've only played a few gigs but they already have a big fan base" - Resonance FM

"They're making waves and have got some big sets coming up so look out for them" - Resonance FM

"The musical offspring of Shaun Ryder and Lily Allen, smeared with classic British indie and sprinkled with hip-hop, jazz and ska. A youthful and vibrant soundtrack for today, which could only have been made by a bunch of teenagers from South London." - a middle-aged fan

"Best thing I've seen in years, the new Streets, it's all going the right way. These boys are top of the league" - another middle-aged fan called Andy Murray

I write songs that are often about random things, sometimes sad things, and occasionally happiness comes through the mix.

On here I'm going to dump demos of songs that I have been writing for the last three years, just to have them somewhere. Some will be excrement, hopefully not all.

Inspired at various times and in positions by folks like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Jarvis Cocker, Nina Simone, and Tom Waits. Sometimes I like the punk, and sometimes I like the blues. Are they the same, Sam?
