An outstanding live act, these guys are from Cape Town South Africa and have produced a fine fine debut. Their debut record was originally self released and it's been around for quite a while.

Poised to be the next big thing, Lizzy Grant with her glamorous Hollywood stage name definitely has what it takes!

Blameless

The Signs Are All There

A fine act from Sheffield that emerged during the early 90's Brit-Pop invasion, sadly they did not satisfy the record labels commercial ambitions and only lasted a short while beyond their debut album before disbanding. Allow me to share one of my favorite records of that era, a few examples from a marvelous debut. Tragic.
