Falling and Laughing are two piece indiepop band from Birmingham, UK. Well, I say indiepop, but I also kind of think that every band should have it’s own completely made up genre though just to show what a pointless exercise the whole slicing of music into little bits is. Plus it’s fun coming up with daft genre names - come up with one for your band (or if you’re not in a band, form one, come up with a daft genre name and start plotting what instrument you’ll play in them)! So let’s try that again. Falling and Laughing are a two piece chordgazing band from Birmingham, UK.

Tracklist:
01 Lights Out Birmingham
02 Compilations of Sweden

Ace Bushy Striptease started in Birmingham in October 2007 with thoughts of becoming a twee/progressive pop band.

Pete Green has recently put together a full band to explode the myth that he’s just a singer/songwriter. When I say, just, I don’t mean just.
