Former Dawn Of The Replicants main man Paul Vickers has run this project with The Leg for a few years now. Shows are few, far between, and unlike anything else.

“I recall a bigger brighter world, A world of books, And silent times in thought”. They do have a line up of 3 boys and a girl. They do write superb tunes and play acoustic guitars. But they’re not from the sunny streets of Brisbane but the rain lashed roads of Middlesbrough. They are Cattle & Cane. Now you could lump them in with a lot of the new breed of folky types; Mumford and Sons, Stornoway, The National to name but 3. And yes, there are elements of all 3 but I also hear The Go Betweens, Orange Juice, Pale Fountains, Grizzly Bear and with the lush vocals of Helen, a nod to Lisa Hannigan (her of Damien Rice fame). They are musically and lyrically akin to Damien Rice and other solo stars but the full band sound gives them an extra punch lacking in the solo world. – Green Man Festival

Marcus Foster could have had it easy. He could have dropped names; doors could have flung open. Had he pursued the frequently garish route of your usual Next Big Thing contender, he’d have got it quite easily, T4 specials and all the rest of it.

But Marcus Foster is no ordinary singer songwriter, and so he was never going to be quite so easily tempted into the tried and tested route of overnight success and instant fame. “Organic” is an awfully clichéd word, but his slow and stealthy gestation into a new artist of genuine note has nevertheless been just that. When you hear his songs, you realise it could never really have gone any other way.

After much anticipation and preparation, his debut EP is finally ready for release. Entitled Tumble Down, and featuring four tracks rich with languor and melancholic life, it sounds like the work of someone who has been doing this for years, forever. You listen to the four songs here, particularly the slow six-minute burn of the title track and the exquisite ache of Shadows of the City, and at no point do you imagine him to be only 24 years old. These are folk songs and bluesy too, but nobody would ever be able to describe them as “nu”, which, frankly, is a relief. They sound, like many great things, as old as the hills.

G*Mac & Believe have been at the vanguard of all things Bass in this town for ages. Still untouchable in Breaks, Dubstep, UK Funky and DnB.
