Wandering Step

Biography:

Off-kilter, foot-tapping rock from Preston. 'I Want to Go to Reykjavik' was the first release for the Deltasonic label, who would later gain notice by signing The Coral and The Dead 60s. Oh well...

'I Want to Go to Reykjavik' 7" single (Deltasonic 2004)

Warren Suicide

Biography:

"Distorted. Deprived. Dialectically dangerous," begins the band's website, and Warren Suicide certainly aren't for the faint of heart. Jerky electronica videos featuring blood-soaked abbattoirs ensure that this jittery Berlin trio aren't going to be hitting the charts any time soon!

Wedding Present

Biography:

Ignored by nearly everyone in the eighties, The Wedding Present have only recently come into fashion as a highly respectable band, and it is almost entirely the result of tireless championing by, you guessed it, John Peel. David Gedge is a bona fide legend, and the band still continues to come up with the goods into the twenty-first century.

Patrick Wolf

Biography:

Perhaps the only thing scarier than the music Patrick Wolf makes is the age he has recorded at. By 22, Wolf had cut two criticallt lauded slices of brooding, gothic pop to make you want to pull the duvet a little closer around you...

Would-Be-Goods

Biography:

Discussed in the same breath as The Magnetic Fields and Belle & Sebastian, the cat-loving, quintessentially English (despite occasional bursts of French lyrics) Would-Be-Goods is effectively the property of frontwoman Jessica Griffin, whom never seems to have felt pressured into the zealous touring and recording schedule favoured by some bands – last year’s ‘The Morning After’ is her/their fourth LP in sixteen years.
