Brix & The Extricated their highly anticipated debut album Part 2 on 22nd September following on from the early summer of debut single Damned For Eternity. InchPart 2 is a terrific debut album! While having elements of vintage Fall, Brix & The Extricated also bring the raw power of the Stooges, the pop sensibility of prime Blondie, walls of big glam rock guitars and dollops of psychedelia.Inch Dave Simpson (Guardian). Formed by the visionary Brix Smith Start (vocals / guitar) and legendary bass player Stephen Hanley, Brix & The Extricated also features Paul Hanley on drums, which reignites the Hanley Brother powerhouse rhythm section. The addition of Steve Trafford on guitar has brought together these influential, former members of The Fall. Completing the line-up is hugely talented Irish guitarist Jason Brown. Increasing pressure from old and new fans alike to record fresh material spurred Brix & The Extricated to head into the studio, where they laid down 10 tracks. As anyone who has read Brix's book 'The Rise, The Fall & The Rise' will know, Brix is a warrior woman one moment, and the next she's stripping off her armour and laying bare her open wounds for all to see 'and this is precisely what she's done on the resulting album. Brix vehemently spits out her lyrics over savage sliding power chords over the distinctive Hanley brothers rhythm section.A) Pneumatic Violet, Feeling Numb, Something To Lose, Hotel Bloedel, Damned For Eternity B) Moonrise Kingdom, Teflon, Valentino, LA, Hollywood

Continuing her critically acclaimed journey into Jazz and Blues, InchSuit YourselfInch the new album from lauded vocalist Judith Owen, recorded at New Orleans' Esplanade Studios, resumes her trajectory of exploring and mining the lesser-known gems of these genres and turning them into musical powerhouses. Whether solo at the piano, accompanied by her jazz sextet or her contemporary big band, Judith's rich mellifluous voice seduces, and her interpretations thrill on songs like Aretha Franklin's InchEvil Gal BluesInch, Nellie Lutcher's InchFor you my LoveInch, and Etta James's InchSince I Fell For YouInch. Of special note is her duet with New Orleans luminary Davell Crawford on InchToday I Sing The BluesInch as well as the first single, the sexy and sophisticated, InchThat's Why I Love My BabyInch. Maestro Joe Bonamassa adds blistering guitar on InchMind Is On VacationInch while the Tonya Boyd-Cannon Choir joins Judith to bring it all back home on the Gospel-inflected InchInside OutInch.
