The SoapGirls, like their music are…. raw, gutsy, innovative, exciting. Linked in mind, body and soul, Mie and Mille are uncompromising.

The songs on Misty Miller’s debut album “The Whole Family Is Worried” were written over a four year period during which the now 21-year-old guitarist had to figure out how to operate in a musical climate where female performers are increasingly shunted into the pigeonhole marked pop.

Congratulations to Tim Bastock, the proud new owner of the bass we were giving away at the London Bass Show this year. Tim sent us this photo of himself looking rather chuffed, with the following note:

Kevin Miller began playing bass and guitar in his early teens and left school school to tour Europe with his mates in the back of a van. After the usual induction to life on the road he returned to London where he joined a number of bands before becoming a musical director for ‘Tracie Young’ of ‘The House that Jack Built’ fame recording for Respond Records.

One Machine is the brainchild of critically acclaimed guitarist/songwriter Steve Smyth (Nevermore, Forbidden, Testament, Dragonlord, Vicious Rumors).
