“…her work remains spellbinding…Pristine Nordic pop at it’s very best” - Record of The Day “It’s taken Penny Police a while to get back here, but it’s been worth the wait… sweepingly majestic” - The Line Of Best Fit “She’s great. It was obvious from the beginning that she was, and she will remain so”. – Kieron Tyler (Mojo Magazine)

Danish artist Marie Fjeldsted aka Penny Police releases her new single Train Talk (Don’t Ask Me About Love) November 3rd via Antiphonics/Phonofile. The single is the title track from her coming EP, which is due early next year. In the spring she released the single “No Horizon” which garnered a healthy amount of attention after a couple of years out: not only in Denmark where the song was - and still is - in heavy rotation on national radio, but also in UK where The Line Of Best Fit, JaJaJa and Amazing Radio among others have been loyal supporters. The song won Amazing Radio’s Alternative Eurovision, competing with songs from across Europe.

Having played a glorious sold out show at Karousel’s Alternative Escape show at the Marlborough Theatre back in May, she was also named as one of the Best of Showcase at the preceding Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg. We’re yet to put her on a show where people didn’t fall in love.

PENNY POLICE - DANISH REVIEWS

“Fjeldsted sings and plays pop, but she does it with a musicality and nerve that lifts her compositions far beyond the mainstream...” - JYDSKE VESTKYSTEN – 5***** “ There is not one bad track on the disc, which is at its best when Fjeldsted's voice is allowed to control the battle. It happens majestically in ‘I Do Care’ and ‘Too Full a Heart’, both immensely beautiful ballads..." - UNDERTONER 5***** – Sink or Sail EP " ...a voice full of airiness and grace, Penny Police has created an unlikely fine debut. All tracks have a rare closeness that could give even the most hard-boiled heart the chills...” - SOUNDVENUE 5***** "A wonderful album with strangely poetic pop music..." - FEMINA 5***** "Penny Police has conquered her own niche. Each song has its own strength and expression..." – LYDTAPET 5***** "Penny Police captivates! ... each and every touch conjures an intimacy which links the listener to the album and Fjeldsted's vocals. " - BERLINGSKE 4**** “How I have cheated myself for some good listening experiences!

Delicious and complete...” – GAFFA 5***** “ There is little doubt that Penny Police is a musician of talent, who plays with an ease - and a tremendous sense of composure – that many live acts all too often lack...” THE COPENHAGEN POST 4**** “...fantastic, innocent, enchanting and clear vocals, I got goose bumps from another dimension...” - UNDERTONER 5***** – The Broken, The Beggar, The Thief

Cortney Dixon is a 19 year old songstress from Newcastle, England. Dixon has recently released her debut music video shot in Austin, TX during the SXSW festival to accompany the Lead single “Kingpin” from her upcoming EP 'Into the Maze'. The video has since then received a nomination for best music video at the Ubeat music Awards, where the singer also took home the 'best songwriter' award on the night.

Dixons unique voice & style has been compared by some to Cindi Lauper and Kate Bush. The Geordie lass takes her inspiration from the likes of David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac, PJ Harvey, Bjork, Kate Bush, Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Nicks and amongst that has a love for ska and punk which meant she was over the moon when she got the chance to support Neville Staples from the Specials in her home town.

With her debut EP only a tantalizing taster of what’s to come, 2016 seen her share stages with the likes of The Coral, Grand Master Flash, Neville Staples of the Specials, Heather Small, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Paul Heaton, The feeling and more! Dixon has big aspirations for 2017!

'The spellbinding songstress has tracks filled with dark, quirky charm, and for one so young, an assured gift for intelligent lyrics and a voice filled with real character. A cinematic offering allows her baroque, bold sound to shimmer over, and Cortney Dixon is going to be a talent to watch out for in 2017.' - Narc Magazine

...'her kooky nature is backed up with a distinctive 80’s pop sound that recalls Cyndi Lauper with an extra bit of Kate Bush thrown in to crank up the curiosity...’ - Gig’s North East

‘Cortney brought a baroque alternative to the former acts; resonating somewhere in between Siouxsie Sioux and Kate Bush, in the most interesting of ways. Of all the respectively talented people playing that evening, Dixon was the one who left the biggest impression on me. Her music felt melodically and thematically unique, mature and conceptually intricate.’ - NE: Volume

“Harvieu is the kind of Salford lass you can imagine a young Morrissey raving about… a fully formed star.” - THE GUARDIAN 5/5
“accessibly sumptuous…between easy-listening seductress and torch-song belter, her voice is soulful and dreamy with just a tang of something muskier in its sweetness.” - THE DAILY TELEGRAPH 4/5
“Hers is an arresting voice, soft and sweet, but dark in hue and sharp with melancholy, like a vinegar smoothie…. this is an impeccable debut.” - NME
“Ren Harvieu is the real deal as an artist and performer, but also as a person…” - LOUDER THAN WAR
“Sit up and pay attention to a major new British talent.” - The Daily Express 4/5

Ren Harvieu is a darkly enigmatic singer/songwriter from Salford, Manchester. Her top 5 UK debut album 'Through The Night' showcased her supple yearning voice and leant towards 60's pop, country & soul. She has performed with an eclectic array of artists including the legendary Tom Jones, US rapper Nas and with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. She's currently putting the finishing touches to her follow up album with songwriting partner Romeo Stodart of The Magic Numbers, it promises to be something truly special.

Since their formation in 2016, London-based quartet Artificial Pleasure have been a unique voice on the British music scene. Their expansive sound combines rock, electronica and new wave with angular post- punk guitars, tight rhythmic grooves and flourishes of disco-tinged energy.

Last year saw the release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Bitter End’ which drew praise and 4- star reviews from the NME, The Independent and The Line of Best Fit in the UK. Spain’s Mondo Sonoro and Italy’s TomTomRock scored the album 8/10. Elsewhere the band have been Alexis Petridis' track of the week in Guardian, featured in Interview Magazine and were one of NME's bands to watch prior to releasing their debut.

In support of the album the band played festivals slots at The Great Escape, Dot-to-Dot, Liverpool Sound City, Live At Leeds, Secret Garden Party and Standon Calling as well as touring the UK. They have also toured further afield in Germany, Poland, Austria and Spain with a festival appearance at Soundrive in Gdansk and shows in Berlin, Munich, Vienna and Barcelona.

Radio plays have come from Lauren Laverne & Huw Stephens at 6Music, John Kennedy at XFM and Edith Bowman on Virgin in the UK, while abroad support has come from Zane Lowe at Beats, Flux FM in Berlin and Austria’s FM4 with tastemakers CD102.5 in Ohio, KEXP in Seattle and Reactor 105 in Mexico City also playing the band regularly. The band’s debut single I'll Make It Worth Your While appeared on YouTube’s The Needle Drop and Spotify’s New Indie Mix and currently at 440,000 streams, with the band notching up close to 900,00 Spotify streams to date.

Artificial Pleasure is entirely independent in their recording process with synth player Dom Brennan handling production and mixing duties. This DIY ethic has yielded some unconventional production techniques with field recordings and elements of songwriter Phil McDonnell’s eight-track demos often incorporated in the final productions. Early 2019 saw the band return to the studio to work on a follow up to their debut album with the results of the new sessions set for release in the coming months. The first of the new tracks ‘A Journey Across Town’ brims with intensity and confidence in their artistic direction. An imagined journey across London, Berlin, Tokyo, Seoul, the urban mess and sprawl of modern life - it is at once direct, cathartic and joyous.

Artificial Pleasure’s engaging live show which features vocalist McDonnell’s theatrical in-your-face persona which one critic compared to a mix of Bryan Ferry and Sid Vicious. Their visual presentation is also evident in their videos, which meld black humour, surrealism and body horror. ‘Wound-Up Tight’ for example depicts McDonnell being bombarded by an arsenal of everyday objects while being suspended upside down. He draws parallels with performance artists such as Marina Abramović and Ragnar Kjartansson. “They’re people who put themselves at the centre of the work. It was hideously painful to do, but artistically it’s me putting myself on the line...”

Fronted by vocal powerhouse Anastasia Walker and featuring Ross Cameron (guitars) and Richard Gartland (drums), Bang Bang Romeo are a propelling force for female-fronted bands in a male dominated industry, and a strong and open voice for the LGBT community. Anastasia's "once in 20 years voice" is unrivalled and the group's larger-than-life performances are sending audiences wild up and down the country, leaving them with jaws dropped and often reduced to tears.

“…they sound just like a Tarantino soundtrack” Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1 “…grand, scintillating bar-rock that could open up the heavens based off the magnitude of Anastasia ‘Stars’ Walker’s powerful voice alone.” Billboard “Biggest crowd for an opening act on the main stage in the history of the festival.” John Giddings, Solo Music Agency/Isle of Wight Festival “Huge sound, like a hard-edged Fleetwood Mac.” Radio X “Entertaining, rousing, soulful gem.” Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music
