King Harvest And The Weight are: Ben Adey (Vocals/Bass), Justin Edley (Drums) and Oliver Smith (Guitar/Vocals).
With sensibilities hailing from a pre-punk era where songwriting reigned supreme, KH&TW take seemingly disparate elements of ’60s pop and ’70s rock and neatly package them into concise, brawny morsels of garage-rock fire.

Their debut album 'Maps' is released on 20:06:16, via Harbour Song Records.

Established in 2007 whilst studying in Liverpool, Rook and The Ravens have been releasing melodic, hook laden indie pop ever since. Corralled around the three-part harmony of brothers Joe (guitar) and James Fay (lead guitar) with Tom Cartledge (keys, guitars), completed by rhythm section David Brodie (bass guitar, keys, harmonica) and John Bernard Major (drums, keys).

After working with Andy Macpherson for three self-released efforts, (Sixteen Holes in Sixteen Souls, Chop House and Outtakes), sessions for Le Bateau began in late 2018 at Pinhole Sound Studios in Manchester, owned by scene acolytes The Travelling Band and headed up by recordist and multi-instrumentalist Adam P. Gorman.  Having known each other since their earliest performances, Gorman was able to coax a streamlined versatility out of the group, journeying from the menacing power of opener Don't Come Home (With Blood On Your Hands And Expect Me to Want the Truth) through the widescreen pop of lead single Watching the Worlds Collide, pastoral splendour of When I Ran Ahead, Opening Up and Wait, plaintive soul searching of Laundry and Pictures of You, with diversions into the soft rock of Dig, wordy kitchen-sink drama of Morning Shakes and On the Lash before closing love letter Poppy On Your First Trip Home. 

Le Bateau was released on vinyl during lockdown in 2020, enabled solely by fan pre-orders. Since, they've been recording with Tim Malkin in Leeds, releasing 2023's barn-burning single, Current Affairs.
