10 30 David Cronenberg's Wife
Dissecting the obsessions, inhibitions and petty jealousies of sociopaths with mordant wit, motorik beats and surf guitars.  "Peppering their albums with undesirable characters, who Mayne inhabits with unnerving realism" (Independent) "Where genius meets idiocy" (Mark Lamarr) "Naughty boys" (Marc Riley)

11 15 JJ Crash
One of the masterminds behind the Blang label, JJ Crash finds poetry in his back yard as he  sings antifolk tales about the East End diaspora. A bit of Wreckless Eric, a smidgeon of Dan Treacey, a soupcon of Plastic Bertrand.
