RAVIOLI ME AWAY
(Good Job Records / Upset The Rhythm / London)
Ravioli Me Away are a dangerously ambitious & delusional all-girl jazzy, post-pop-punk/hip-funk outfit with a stylistic theme spanning all past, present & future human cultures and subcultures.
Featuring members of Plug & Spin Spin The Dogs, Ravioli Me Away have played a host of venues, galleries and festivals to date; each show different, fresh and always high-energy. The trio have also recorded & released an EP on Upset the Rhythm since forming last year and have a brand spanking new long player out on Good Job Records in August, as well as a tour only tape on Neen Records, recorded w/ Ben Wallers (The Rebel/Country Teasers) at the helm. WOO!

TUFF LOVE
(Lost Map)
Tuff Love are Julie, Suse and Michael from Glasgow - makers of dazzling, sun-streaked guitar pop. Mesmerising lyrics, heart wrenching vocals, dreamy melodies.
Tuff Love clambered out of the ashes of Motherless Daughters, an all-singing, all-dirge-ing folk duo featuring Suse Bear on bass and Julie Eisenstein on guitar. Fortunately for all concerned, the project never made it beyond the confines of Suse’s flat, and after a short hiatus the pair regrouped with the intention of forming a grunge band. What happened instead has variously been described as funereal surf and filth disco, and the sound has flashes of early Take That on Quaaludes with a Shirley Temple to wash it all down. What happened instead was Tuff Love.

HAUSFRAU
(Unknown Pleasures / Night School Records)
“Smearing the line between artifice and reality, HAUSFRAU is the pop construct of Glasgow based artist Claudia Nova. Themes of darkness and light are mutated into sensual shades by synth projections and Nova’s powerful voice, drawing the listener into a quasi sado-masochistic relationship with the performer-as-oracle.”

BAT BIKE
Bat Bike have a healthy disregard for trousers and recording studios, writing gloriously sloppy singalong anthems about Snacks, Love and Christmas. They are always a riot live, channelling the spirit of the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Mo Tucker and Bowling For Soup.
