Simple, gritty and downright sexy. Howlin’ Wolf and Millie Jackson to start, but you’ll probably hear PJ Harvey…

About Nests: This homemade recording keeps it real simple: drums, guitar and little else. Recorded over the course of 2008, eMusic hailed Nests as “absolutely astonishing… every song is great.” Other Music NYC described Nests as “packed with straightforward, rocking electric guitar…a shoo-in for one of the new music highlights of the year.”

NME Radio made ‘Gimmie’ Single of the Week, The Guardian said ‘full marks…literally, raunchy.’ The stunning live show will be all across the UK this summer climaxing at The Greenman Festival and End of the Road.
Naked Hearts

"Live and in person, The Naked Hearts are explosive, charming, and something exciting. With Amy Cooper on hollow-body electric guitar and Noah Wheeler on drums, the impeccably turned-out pair ooze a fuzzy rock sincerity; every song is a stripped-down challenge to cut loose" - PopMatters

"The duo, that has frequently been compared to Blonde Redhead, can deliver an immense overflow of energy on stage.
Amy Cooper's velvety yet audacious and declarative voice definitely makes up for any instruments they might lack,
while Noah's skillful drum play, provides a constant stream of tempting rhythms." Deli Magazine

"Then there are the enthusiastic newbies The Naked Hearts, who explore the various ways in which a boy/girl duo can make you dance, fall in love, and cry all at the same time." - Interview Magazine August 2009
