Backroom
From North West London with influences from the best of British/Irish alternative music, ranging from Fontaines D.C. to Shame to Yard Act as well as classic bands Joy Division, The Smiths and The Cure, Backroom’s post-punk indie sound is expansive and is constantly evolving. With lyrics telling tales of depression, anxiety and coming of age this is music for the next generation of indie music fans.
Backroom began when Plymouth born childhood friends Luke Ash (bass) and James Gray (guitar) moved to London to pursue music and on a magical night out in Camden bumped in to former circus ringmaster and vocalist Robert Woods. They were later joined by talented funk and jazz drummer Ben Wedlake (from the David Bowie Experience), and Backroom was formed.

Jazz Mino
The Manchester-born, Somerset-raised, singer-songwriter Jazz Mino releases her energetic and bop-filled second EP ‘Someone Else To Talk To’. The EP explores themes of loneliness, insecurities and “getting over” break-ups all wrapped in lush guitar riffs, powerful and catchy vocal hooks accompanied by both upbeat organic and programmed drum grooves.
Mino began her career busking in and around her hometown where she was spotted by industry icon and Apple Music’s former head of editorial Austin Daboh. Since then, Mino has achieved multiple New Music Friday slots and has accumulated over 17 million streams across Spotify and Apple Music, garnering a worldwide fanbase. She has also been featured from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk, Notion, Wonderland, BBC Introducing and PRS For Music, as well as a music placement on the hit TV series The Only Way is Essex.
Produced by Clayton and Mino herself, the ‘Someone Else To Talk To’ EP jumps from guitar electro-pop banger ‘Sorry Ur Bored’ - Mino’s unapologetic breakup track, to ‘Shy’ - a track “about having a huge crush on one of [Her] closest friends”. The project includes upbeat, shameless pop anthems as well as sombre moments such as the final track ‘Someone Else To Talk To’. The EP showcases an artist at the peak of her songwriting powers, combining feel-good pop sensibilities with emphatic production.
