2014 finds duo Charles and Rebecca emerging from the studio again with what promises to be their career-defining album – Complete Surrender. Recorded with producer Colin Elliot, who previously helped create an equally widescreen sound on albums by Richard Hawley, Complete Surrender touches on everything from Motown and the output of Memphis’ Stax Records to the immaculately produced pop of the 1970s, via Frankie Valli and David Bowie. The songs are certainly bigger and the pair have grown from a charmingly ramshackle teenage duo bursting with potential into a fully-formed, self-confident and impressively talented band. Where they take us next is anyone’s guess.
EKKAH is the duo of London via Birmingham longtime friends Rebekah Pennington and Rebecca Wilson, a creative partnership ensued when they started writing music together and recording songs of infectious, savvy and thoughtfully soulful, sun-kissed and funk-addled pop. Supported by Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens, the band’s first EP ‘Last Chance To Dance’ received great reviews and the band has been shortlisted for The Guardian’s Sound of 2015.
Southend based Youth Club first caught people’s attention in May 2014 when they self released their debut EP ‘Colours’. Their music mixes guitar licks, electronic keys and RnB vocals to create crisp, dance orientated pop. Sounding like long lost brothers of Phoenix and Two Door Cinema Club, Youth Club are the authentic sound of summer.
Good times music inspired by american and world folk, swing, jazz and blues. The natural born, ‘self-made’ showmen CC Smugglers have worked their way up from young street performers to playing some of the biggest festivals and venues in the UK and Europe. “The best live band on the scene at the moment, and I wouldn’t say it unless I genuinely thought it.” – Cerys Matthews // BBC6 Music
