Katie & The Bad Sign – “Taste The Dirt”

Hailing from Manchester, this British songstress has been exciting audiences at shows and festivals across the country. Together with her Americana band they blend country, folk, soul and blues into a powerful sound. She debuted with the single “Beg” in 2014, went on to support Beth Rowley and Kimmie Rhodes and had her song “Piece Of The Pie” featured in the 2020 Netflix film “Kissing Booth 2”.

Pushing raw, emotive blues to its absolute limits and by adding some 70s rock pushing it just a tad more, on her new single both the melody and the lyrics tell their own woeful story. With fierce guitar riffs, invigorating drums and a touch of country twang creating an image of a dark, smoky bar in the bayou and her passionate vocals, full of rasp, grit and fervor, this groove sets every note on fire!

Chantelle du Toit – “Stuck In The Middle”

Originally from South Africa, this powerhouse singer and songwriter moved to London, UK aged 19 to study music. During her University years she was in several different bands, performing in local pubs, but eventually decided on a solo path. Inspired by bands such as Queen, The Pretty Reckless and Foo Fighters, she debuted her potent rock and blues sound and rich lyrics with “November Rain” in 2019.

Highlighting anxiety and feeling overwhelmed by emotions, she offers her new single as a sonic punching bag. Giving some fierce blues a raw rock edge, you’re instantly blasted with a vigorous beat and howling blues guitars, brightened by a mild tambourine. And with her commanding and tempestuous vocals riding the mighty melody, this rugged groove will hit you like a steamroller.
