COURTS
5 piece band from Basildon, Essex who describe what they do as 'guitar based hip-hop influenced music', and what makes them unique is the sound they have carefully developed over time which has had them tipped as a 'new band to watch' (Tom Robinson - BBC Radio 6 Introducing).

Courts live show makes for an equally energetic and boundary crossing experience as their music. Having built a solid and diverse fan base in their hometown through regular local gigs, the band have also played some of London's best venues and nights including Barfly, The Old Queen's Head, Notting Hill Arts Club's Death 2 Disco, and The Queen of Hoxton's Session.
With ever-increasing press interest ranging from local newspapers to Artrocker Magazine, a strong stream of support across the BBC Radio Network and Chris Martin's 'Record of the Week' on Amazing Radio, the band are paving the way as an up and coming band to watch . 'Grooving funk feel, which makes them even more addictive.' (Artrocker)

'Rhythmic funk blended with rap-esque lyrics contributing to a truly unique sound.' (The Mahogany Blog)
