Beth Jeans Houghton & the Hooves of Destiny
Beth Jeans Houghton & the Hooves of Destiny’s debut album “Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose” released in February on Mute Records introduces one of the most self-assured new artists of the year, a pop polymath whose blend of psychedelia, glam rock and chain gang folk is quite unlike anything else you’re likely to hear in 2012. Like her utterly unique stage outfits, it’s made from disparate individual elements that wouldn’t work on paper, but sing out like a holy choir in the execution.
Hailing from South Shields near Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the North of England Lulu met her producer and co-writer Domzilla on Generator’s UMT:VOX course and they started crafting tender, delicate songs influenced by the vulnerability of James Blake and Jamie xx’s work with Gil Scott Heron. The blogosphere has already called her things like ‘retro post-dubstep bashment’ and ‘melodramatic dub-pop’ but we’re going to need to come up with new genre names and superlatives to capture everything that this smart young lady is going to unleash in the coming months.
Deerhart were formed in the late summer of 2010 out of a necessity to bring the material Trev Gibb recorded with David Brewis (Field Music) to a live audience. Deerhart supported Field Music’s at their ‘Plumb’ album launch in February and will release an EP this summer. Think Scott Walker, Big Star, Orange Juice, American Music Club, Prefab Sprout, Television, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Jim O'Rourke and Wilco and you'll be somewhere close to music the band hold dear.
Boy Jumps Ship were formed in the winter of 2009 and are a four piece ensemble hailing from Newcastle. By drawing influences from each member’s wealth of experience the boys are a force to be reckoned with and have created a live show that is an explosive amalgamation of musicianship, distinctive hooks and arresting energy.
Eeves are an indie rock / post-punk band from Teesside - England, consisting of Peter McDonald and brothers, Stephen, Andrew and Thomas Masterman. Their songs, a formidable weave of melody and dynamism, playing sonically powerful live sets sparked with tension and urgency. ‘It’s driven indie rock at its most enjoyable’ Manifesto Magazine
