Artist description "My prime concern is the creation of lyrical concepts which convey the most brutally honest, humorous and wistfully hopeless parts of the human character, through mine and Myca's exclusive brand of electric ironica. It seems to be the way of the world that so much gets swept under the carpet these days – but no more - I have every intention of ripping that baby up and rabidly going there. So get ready for some neat bitterness because my coffin has seen more final nails than a B & Q stocktake." (Beth Woods x)
