// The Heebie Jeebies //

Rotherham's own hot boy trio The Heebie Jeebies, made their recorded debut with single Misery Guts on August 10th and emerged blinking in the summer sun for their first festival bow at Glastonbury earlier in the year.

Owen, Del and Thom collectively indulge in 'Fruity Beefheart beats, calypso rhythms and west coast noise flex, caressed with a poetic social panorama'. Formed at Sheffield Institute Of Arts, The Heebie Jeebies imbue a colourful charm and style that embraces modern insecurities with an 'end of the rainbow' mentality.

Their influences vary from Trad African & tribal Kalimba songs to post punk 'Industrial', with melodic nods to boozy Britpop soirees and Welsh Psych; a light hearted approach to narratives of cultural indecency.

A DIY aesthetic and a veritable smorgasbord of ideas permeate everything they do, from art directing their photo shoots, to designing artwork and beyond. They'll be showing off their origami skills for the packaging on the new single.

Having cut their touring teeth with new best friends Hot Club De Paris and Slow Club, and benefiting from kindly champions amongst the Steel City glitterati Jarvis Cocker, Richard Hawley, Matt Helders and Toddla T, the band will be heading out for shows throughout the summer.

Their endearingly shambolic live show can't disguise some seriously accomplished musicianship - self-taught they might be but these boys know their chops.

// Take To The Seas //

Take To The Seas are a four-piece indie rock band, formed in Sheffield in 2009, but due to Ben's sexually aggressive nature Matt recently moved to Leeds. After releasing a two track EP on Favourite Tree Records in 2009 to great success they have managed to successfully grow their fanbase and are currently working on a second E.P. and an album after a short university related break. They say they drink more Um Bongo than they should, but they have enjoyed plays on not only BBC Radio Sheffield but have also been introduced on BBC Radio 6.
