CURRENT ARTISTS

Grace Petrie

More than a decade after first emerging as the voice of a generation in Tory Britain, Grace Petrie stands out as one the most important songwriters working in the UK today.

Exploding onto the folk scene in 2010 with the low-fi acoustic guitar/vocal release Tell Me a Story, Petrie quickly attracted attention with her polemical folk anthems, acerbic lyricism and open-hearted performance style. Support slots for the likes of Frank Turner, Billy Bragg and Emmy the Great soon followed, with the Guardian declaring her “a powerful new songwriting voice”.

Maybeshewill

Maybeshewill are an instrumental band born in the city of Leicester. In the course of a near twenty year career, the band have released five LPs and toured across four continents.

“One of the most beloved instrumental bands of the 21st century” – The Independent

“The perfect example of how to get post-rock instrumental music right” – DIY Magazine

MOUSE TEETH

Mouse Teeth is the solo project of Leicester-born musician and poet Nancy Dawkins, which was formed out of the reflective isolation of lockdown and the wisdom gained from seeing a really good therapist. After achieving minor music success as a teen (“her voice is to die for and her writing craft is phenomenal” – Dean Jackson, BBC introducing 2011), Dawkins took time away to study philosophy, recover from being a teenage girl in music, become an adult, and fall into a long period of chronic illness in which time she took up tarot. Mouse Teeth combines themes of illness, grief, abuses of power, identity with existential reflection and an ear for the magic of the world. Mouse Teeth is angry but sees hope in spirit. Mouse Teeth is sad but finds strength in not keeping quiet about it. Mouse Teeth is tired and finds peace in ritual.

CATS & CATS AND CATS

Newly-reformed Cats and Cats and Cats are a shouty, arty, three-to-ten-piece math rock band. They were originally inspired by the weirdly timed indie-prog of Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies and the math-emo of Marvins Revolt. Later, they expanded their sound and line-up taking things in firstly a post rock direction, then towards more accessible fuzz-folk grounds. Their final studio albums take all of this and mash it together in a raucous, unpredictable, catchy, delicate mess.

The band are reforming, having been invited to play at Arctangent Festival 2024, which along with a headline show in London will be their first live performances in over a decade.’

RICH LIST

Leicester synth pop duo Rich List have been writing and recording together for the best part of twenty years in various forms. Influenced heavily by the synth-heavy sounds of the 80s (particularly Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, OMD and New Order) and irretrievably damaged by exposure to Brit-Pop, the pair and their long-term producer and collaborator Jamie Ward (Maybeshewill, Dark Dark Horse) create densely layered tracks with retro synths, effect laden guitars, emotive idiosyncratic vocals and laboured pop culture references.
