JEFFREY LEWIS & THE JUNKYARD

Jeffrey Lewis was raised in New York City and is a maker of comic books, tragi-comic folk narratives, and lysergic garage rock. With brother Jack on bass and David Beauchamp on drums, the Jeffrey Lewis Band mixes 60s acoustic psychedelia like Pearls Before Swine with the experimental art-punk of the Fall and the urban lyricism of Lou Reed, sounding a bit like if Woody Guthrie fronted Sonic Youth. Live shows often also incorporate "low budget videos", Jeff’s large illustrations displayed to accompany certain songs. In 2001 Jeffrey Lewis signed to Rough Trade Records and has since released four albums.

The Jeffrey Lewis Band has toured the US, UK and Europe, sharing bills with Steven Malkmus & the Jicks, Devendra Banhart, Black Dice, Thurston Moore, the Fall, Beth Orton, Frank Black, the Fiery Furnaces, Daniel Johnston, Scout Niblett, the Mountain Goats, the Moldy Peaches, Cornershop, the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, Wooden Wand, the Cribs, the Danielson Famile, Dr. Dog and others.

The album Jeffrey Lewis: 12 Crass Songs, released by Rough Trade in late 2007, is a collection of songs by the legendary anarchist punk band Crass, reworked by Jeffrey into glorious folk, rock, psychedelic, orchestral and electronica productions which dazzle the ear while losing none of the political power of the originals. For the recording of 12 Crass Songs Lewis was joined by Helen Schreiner on back up vocals.

12 Crass Songs follows in the footsteps of the critically acclaimed Jeffrey & Jack Lewis: City & Eastern Songs, which was produced by Kramer (Galaxie 500, Butthole Surfers, Low, Daniel Johnston, etc) and was selected as one of 2006's best albums in Time Out NY, the Boston Globe, CMJ Monthly and elsewhere.

DON’T MOVE

Don't Move! is comprised of Jo Carvell and Mason la Long, a Midlands UK based songwriting duo who have been writing and playing music together for the past three years. Don't Move! is a pop band. Don't Move! write some of the most memorable songs you will ever be lucky enough to hear.

The New Pop Sound of: Don't Move! will be their first release on Tin Angel Records. Recorded and mixed between Midlands venue/studio Taylor Johns House and the sunny climes of Charlottsville, Virginia by esteemed labelmate Paul Curreri, The New Pop Sound positively buzzes from open to close.

REVEREND SHEPHERD

Aberdeen's only psych-folk band containing genuine Reverends. Think less 'Reverend and the Makers' and more 'Robbie Shepherd’!
