BY THE SEA
By The Sea are a Wirral-based indie rock band. after a short run of sold-out 7" singles, the band released their debut LP on november 12th via dell'orso records (CD), great pop supplement (LP) and digitally through AWAL distribution. The album was recorded and produced with close friend Bill Ryder-Jones (Domino Records) in various bedrooms, garages and churches. the album hopes to recall the sound and culture of the seminal 1980s indie bands that helped inspire it.

FUZZY LIGHTS
Fuzzy Lights were formed in 2004, and it has been a long journey since the release of their near-instrumental debut album ‘A Distant Voice’.
In 2010 they released their second album, ‘Twin Feathers’, weaving together elements of pastoral psych-folk and noise-rock. The album received critical acclaim, being named ‘Underground Album of the Month’ in Mojo and receiving 4/5 star reviews in Uncut and Artrocker. Several tracks from the record featured across BBC 6Music shows, and the same year they played at the End of The Road Festival.
In 2011, they retreated to write new songs, and the fruits of these sessions were later recorded live to tape at a Limehouse studio. Released in February 2013, “Rule of Twelfths” is an album which carries with it the ghosts of pop songs past and is their most direct statement yet.
