Susannah Austin: We filmed this in our garden with Susannah Austin of Hares. We did two takes with one camera and this is what we got. Her voice is captivating and effortlessly beautiful. Her solo music exemplifies the idea of “less is more” and with just a guitar and her voice Su is more emotive and exciting than most bands could ever hope to be.

Pharaohs: We did this with our lovely friends Pharaohs on a very cold Winters eve. The boys were troopers and played until their noses were as red as a famous reindeer’s. Pharaohs have a new album coming out and it is well worth checking out because they are simply amazing at everything they do. Show them some love here: http://www.pharaohstheband.com/
Tubelord-Bazel Music Video: Here is Tubelord’s new music video for their track Bazel. We could not have asked for a nicer group of guys to create this with. http://www.asktubelord.com/
Tubelord: This is the very first acoustic session we did and we were lucky enough to do with the incredible Tubelord. Hailing from Kingston Upon Thames these guys have been building a substantial following for the past five years now. We were lucky enough to get this acoustic performance of Ratchet before a gig they played at Kings Cross. This was the first of two takes we did with them and i think the song and video have a really endearing vibe about them. They make smart pop music with the occasional heavy twist, but its not really worth trying to describe them you should just go check out more of their tunes here: http://www.asktubelord.com/. I really cant say enough nice things about these guys, they are just great. Also, keep your eyes peeled for a Head Over Heels directed music video coming out for these guys in March.
Suffer Like G Did-Live In Islington: I filmed this at the Islington Dome when Suffer Like G Did opened for Mouse On The Keys. These guys are simply amazing. If you are into jazz, post rock or any form of music really you should check them. They music is slick and smooth while never once being dull. They seem like the funnest band in the world to be in and if you get to see them live bring a mop to wipe your face off the floor afterward.

Miss Scarlett: These boys beat thirteen shades of blue into the Scarlett Pimpernel and are a true pleasure both on record and on stage. They make atmospheric pop with balls and brains. Their Head Full Of Wishes EP fits snugly into a modern musical context but feels as though it was written by musicians with a few more years of playing under their belts. Give them a listen here: http://www.myspace.com/missscarlett.
At Stations: This is one of the first videos we did for our friends At Stations. They make lovely dark folk with elements of jazz and some good old fashioned pop hooks. We shot this in their living room a few months ago. These guys are seriously great and deserve a lot more attention than they are getting. They play quite regularly in and around the London area and can often be found busking the city streets. If you get a chance to see them, do it. They rock ever so softly.
