Howie Reeve
Solo acoustic post-punk bass and vocals from Glasgow endorsed by Mike Watt.
“Howie Reeve’s approach is essentially one divorced from the traditions of ‘making a pop record’…part of a wider tradition of underground troubadours and gleemen, musical ranters and shakers, who hold audiences through their strength of character.” (Richard Foster, The Quietus, 22/02/2021)

Cod O’Donell
Surreal and masked clawhammer banjo and yelping from Edinburgh. He creates folk music powered by original, witty and insightful lyrics and driving clawhammer banjo. His music is accompanied by a nasal yelp which is nothing if not idiosyncratic.

Through their unmistakable blend of influences ranging from post-punk and dark folk to new wave and goth, Frenchy and the Punk have forged their own distinct path since 2005, touring across the US and Europe with their artful two-person powerhouse of sound. Drawing inspiration from post-punk legends like The Cure, the upbeat energy and percussive textures of Adam and the Ants, the bewitching mystique of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the quirky charm of The B-52’s, they have crafted a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly authentic delivered in an unorthodox way.
