Fragile Creatures
Fragile Creatures are a rock band from Brighton on a mission to restore Britain's reputation for original guitar music. They are about to release their debut album ...And Other Wild things, the first release from new local label BrightonsFinestPresents due in early 2016. Well known for being 'melodic, off-kilter and extremely catchy' Fragile Creatures have combined the very best of classic American and British pop and rock into beautifully crafted songs that will move you to the dance-floor and stick in your head. Get an exclusive first listen to the album on BrightonsFinest.com.
Fragile Creatures will be launching their new album as they headline this month’s SPECTRUM
Stowaways, the lead track from the album, has already gained over 120,000 plays on Soundcloud and was recently picked as BBC Introducing South's 'Track Of The Day' played at Drivetime on BBC Sussex / Surrey. These guys are certainly ones to watch in 2016.

'The band has successfully reminded the UK of the beauty of original guitar pop music...at the same time revealing the uniqueness that they bring to such a broad genre' Sound And Motion Magazine Oct 2012

Captain Lovelace

Travelling in Norway inspired Beattie’s music. She simply keeps taking an intuitive folk ride along the seaside. The simplicity of the guitar is mixed with a personal poetry and slight melancholy. Follow the woo-hoo instructions and create your own computer program.
