9 50 David Cronenberg's Wife
A key band in the early 2010s UK antifolk DIY scene, David Cronenberg’s Wife (or DCW) served as a catalyst for other like-minded bands in London to follow suit. DCW played The Fat White Family’s infamous Slide In night in Brixton in late 2013, with the FWF then playing the Antifolk Fest run by DCW's Tom Mayne. DCW’s sound stands as a template for many of the current crop of south London guitar bands such as Goat Girl and Shame.
DCW have played three BBC 6 Music sessions (for Marc Riley and Cerys Matthews). They’ve supported The Fall, The Fat White Family, The Nightingales and Damo Suzuki.
With influences ranging from The Birthday Party to Jonathan Richman, DCW’s songs swing between the sweet and the disturbing. The lyrics catch you off guard with their openness, black humour and off-the-wall themes.
"DCW are wicked" Lias Saoudi
"Where genius meets idiocy" Mark Lamarr, BBC Radio 2
"peppering their albums with undesirable characters, who Mayne inhabits with unnerving realism" The Independent

8 Joe Buzfuz
Joe Buzfuz is the solo electro/post-punk guise of Joe Murphy, leader of London band Sergeant Buzfuz, whose critical acclaim is in inverse proportion to their record sales. But they've played three BBC 6 Music sessions (Marc Riley and Tom Robinson) so there! He founded the Blang record label (David Cronenberg's Wife, Thomas Truax, Meatraffle, Brix & The Extricated, etc). Now back in his native Sheffield, Buzfuz combines electronic backing tapes and guitar with observations of modern life.
“It's mental. Absolutely hooked on it" Ian Rankin
“an eye-opener and an eyebrow-raiser” Gideon Coe, 6 Music
"That is, I do believe, what you call a pop tune" Marc Riley, 6 Music
“absolutely brilliant” Tom Robinson, 6 Music
“One of my favourite songs for some time"” Mark Lamarr, BBC Radio 2
