Dariush & Jade

Loving these songs by Huddersfield based duo Dariush & Jade; chilled, nice choice of tracks, simple, live, talent.

Extra Curricular

My best friends are in an awesome band called Extra Curricular, they’ve made a video about what they’ve been upto this summer.

I’m so proud of them, they are going to be huge and they deserve it. More talent in each member than in most of the commercial shit filling the music industry.

They gig all over and are amazing live, check out there music and get more information here:
