Tarrific People!





During one of my many stops for today's projects's for Ben Branagan, I made unexpeted pit-stop at a great shop in Carnaby Street, Traffic People. Having passed it several times with much love and admiration, thought I'd have a look around and check the place out. 5 short seconds of falling in love with the stock set me off chatting with the store owner and I proposed some design work for their store. To my great surprise this was accepted and I shall be taking them on as a client! Watch this space y'all!

Transgressive Records: www.transgressiverecords.co.uk





Battle are a UK indie rock band, who formed over a decade ago. They came to some prominence with a sound consisting largely of post-punk, spatious guitar hooks and dance-orientated beats, and have been compared to The Cure, and New Order/Joy Division. In 2005, Battle embarked upon a series of small tours, releasing the singles, 'Isabelle/ Feel The Same' and 'Demons/ Damascus', both of which sold out within days. Support slots with the likes of Bloc Party, The Rakes and British Sea Power followed, with air play on Radio One and Xfm. Shortly after the release of Tendency, Battle signed a recording deal with Warner Bros. Records and publishing contract with EMI, and are expecting their debut album to be released at the end of the year.
