The EP release has been led by the two wildly diverse singles ‘West End’ and ‘Autopsy’ – both of which have attracted plenty of attention at radio and online.
Friday 29th November – Capre
with Renz
Capre’s enigmatic vocals permeate through their euphoric melodies and the more you try to categorise their sound, the more it slips through your fingers. There’s perfect fusion between the pervasive guitar riffs, and the electronic and hip-hop beats that sound painstakingly crafted. Among many, the notable influences for C&O’s Patrick Costello (guitar/vocals) and Patrick Hameon (sound production/keyboard) include Bonobo, Pink Floyd and Ta-Ku. With their first EP now underway, the Patrick duo are geared to make their noise heard!

Tuesday 10th December – Dom Miller
Dom Miller used to be in Rocketsmiths. They broke up and now he plays by himself. Sometimes with a band, but all under his own name.

He imagines himself as a mixture of Bob Evans and a male Courtney Barnett, but he’s probably really nothing like that at all.
