The Curst Sons have been performing their original American roots influenced music since 1998.
Their sound mixes traditional American roots genres with powerful original songs and gutsy live shows. Their inspiration is the pre-Rock n’ Roll world of Blues, Gospel and Old Time - given a jolt of electricity and a kick-ass stomp.
Since 1998 they have released six studio albums and one 10” vinyl EP, have been Runners up in the international Song Writing Competition (ISC), nominated for Best Alt Country Album in the Independent Music Awards and for Best Americana Act in the British Country Music Awards. They have played far too many pubs, clubs and festivals to remember, twice been Time Out magazine’s critic’s choice and recorded two live sessions for the much-missed Mark Lamarr show on BBC Radio Over the years people have said…
Their biggest appeal is that they manage to stay true to American folk music’s rich lineage, while throwing in enough curve balls to piss off the folk puritanicals. AMERICANA UK
They gnarl and twist together elements of bluegrass, rockabilly, country and blues and spew forth a
sound that is instantly recognisable as their own. What may be overlooked is the fact that the Curst
Sons are damn fine songwriters as well as potent lyricists.
If it is true that the Devil has all the best tunes, then he must undoubtedly have nicked some of them from The Curst Sons. Ken Brown FATEA One of the best, if most unlikely, acts to come out of Brighton – hands down – this brilliant trio plays bluegrass, gospel and rockabilly as if their lives and loves depended on it, mixing Americana classicswith tuneful originals full of superior lyrics. Time Out Got everybody jumpin’- a great band. Jonnie Walker BBC RADIO 2 I’ll tell you what that was absolutely fantastic. If you look out the window and there’s a slight breeze that’s God nodding, and that’s a pretty good revue. Mark Lamarr BBC RADIO 2
They’ve got humour and soul and there’s absolutely nothing else like them. MORNING STAR
The Curst Sons never fail to deliver a foot-stompin’, barnstorming performance of such intensity you’re left grinning like an idiot by the end! Hastings Independent Press

Formed in deepest darkest Dorset come The Two Man Travelling Medicine Show Formed in 2017 in the tiny village of Witchampton in Dorset. The band have built up a fiercely loyal following on the south coast with their explosive live shows. Think The Libertines had a fight with The Pogues. Currently recording their third album of original material. This follows on form their two critically acclaimed albums ‘Weeding out the wicked’ and ‘Going nowhere fast’. Massive radio support for both these releases with multiple plays all over the globe. Banjos, fiddles put to glorious uplifting Melodies with dark, disturbed lyrics. They’re about to release their third album in September 2023 called ‘Folkadelica’. Recorded entirely on 16 track in a barn in Dorset. This album flirts with grief, love, pub fights, and even politics with the first single ‘I’m so angry I could vote’ being released in August. A Snake’s A Snake” is a Bob Dylan meets the country version of The Beach Boys kind of tune. With the carefree vibe of summer surfer music and the classic country western instruments, this track is nothing short of a toe tapping classic. Folk music has never met any kind funk like this. With banjos, violins, and tambourines galore, “A Snake’s A Snake” features a repetitive and catchy hook will have you humming along in no time. ‘Indie Guru’ blog Quirky and light hearted yet tinged with sadness, this tune is a tale of frustration and hope. Utterly unique from start to finish. ‘Purple Melon’ Music blog

FFO: The Raconteurs, Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie, Cream, The Band, Credence Clearwater Revival.
Almost 20 years ago in the sleepy town of Wimborne, Dorset the country pubs began rattling to the
thundering riffs of Rich Peacock, the relentless bass of Olly Hopper-Pay and the Bonham-esque drumming
of Peter Giles- Clams were born. Within 18 months Clams were signed to Andy Ross (of Food Records
fame) new label Boss Music and the industry started getting their ears blown by the riffs Metal Hammer
commented that “Dave Grohl would sell his left testicle for".
