From Norwich UK, the band has an impressive pedigree featuring members of UK punk bands Infa-Riot, Braindance and Special Duties.Their music is closest to the street punk genre with big singalong choruses, tinged with glam riffs, channeling their inner, Slade and Sweet influences.The band formed in June 2021 in an unmanned studio during the height of the Covid pandemic. A little known rule meant that it was perfectly legal to rehearse together but not to visit each other's homes for tea and biscuits. Strange times indeed.To date the band has released one single the ‘Peepshow EP' and a stellar album ‘Bit on the Side', both recorded at Perry Vale studios in London with legendary producer Pat Collier (Vibrators) Both releases showcase the bands high energy anthemic music which can be sourced digitally from Bandcamp, Spotify, YouTube Amazon and iTunes.The band has played shows with the likes of UK Subs, Evil Conduct, GBH, casualties, Cockney Rejects,Last Resort and the Drowns and have also played Rebellion Festival for the last three years, culminating in an impressive performance to a packed Club Casbah venue in 2024. They have ventured into mainland Europe e.g. Belgium and Germany playing at the sold out ‘Once a Punk Always a Punk' Festival in Belgium and the famous Don't Panic venue in Essen and have more shows in Europe in the pipeline.They have just started work on their new album “Second time around”.Have fun out there. Pop over to the website (www.onthehuh.org) it has lots of links to other bands stuff and venues as well as a link to an ever evolving Spotify playlist of Norwich bands material compiled by pod producer Reuben Andrews called La musique de Norwich.chin chin

The moniker 'yer blooze' of English multi-instrumentalist Dylan Clarke may originate from a White album deep cut but this influence is far from alone within his sonic palette.Bringing together sounds from his local scene (noise, ambient, psyche and English folk) yer blooze also weaves in personal taste from genres such as Prog rock, and gypsy jazz within indie rock and neo-psych structures.  Self spun choral harmonies atop natural acoustic instrumentation bolsters elated melodic moments that coalesce with and against strident and brash distortion. Pop over to the website (www.onthehuh.org) it has lots of links to other bands stuff and venues as well as a link to an ever evolving Spotify playlist of Norwich bands material compiled by pod producer Reuben Andrews called La musique de Norwich.chin chin

Karma Sheen are the very embodiment of joyous music - they are special believe me. Insightful charming guests to chat through on this Summer special episode to close out season 1 of On the Huh ...  go well Bio of Karma Sheen's Album Join them and allow yourself to embark on a musical odyssey through the entrancing tapestry of Karma Sheen's self titled album. It weaves together the cultural threads of 21st-century London, drawing its inspiration from the vibrant fusion of the South Asian diaspora and the resounding echoes of the city's soundscape. Born from the roots of Pakistan and nurtured amidst the bustling rhythms of London, this album emerges as a poetic testament to the harmonious collision of tradition and contemporary sound.Within each of the movements of Karma Sheen, you'll find a rich and historical collection of ragas, each a radiant gem in the mosaic of sound. The raga, Jog, like a meandering river, offers a contemplative journey through its delicate notes, while Malkauns, with its midnight hues, envelops the listener in a mysterious embrace. Bageshree, akin to a blossoming garden, paints a vivid landscape of emotions, and Mian Ki Malhar, like raindrops on a parched earth, evokes a sense of rejuvenation. These ragas were taught to us by the custodians of the Shaam Chaurasi Gharana, Ustaad Latafat Ali Khan and Ustaad Shafqat Ali Khan.They carry within them a lineage that spans over six centuries, a treasure trove of heritage. As the melodic vines of Karma Sheen unfurl, they pay homage to the spirit of 60s and 70s London — an era of fervent fashion, boundless freedom of expression, and an unapologetic attitude. Their album invites you to be inspired, to look within your own heritage and translate it into the language of your present. It celebrates authenticity, urging you to embrace your roots and infuse them into your own minds' garden.The album is more than a mere collection of songs; it is an immersive experience, an intricate labyrinth of sounds that beckon you to lose yourself within its layers. The purpose of this sonic journey is to cast a mesmerizing spell upon your senses, to envelop you in a realm where time slows and the ethereal melodies transport you to a moment suspended in eternity. With each listen, you'll find yourself submerged in a symphony that defies the boundaries of the mundane, inviting you to explore the depths of sound and emotion.The band said "for us, this album isn't just music; it's a vessel for exploration, a mirror reflecting the intricate dance between our past and present and an invitation to immerse yourself in the beauty of harmonious diversity".Link to the album here Karma Sheen - Album by Karma Sheen | SpotifyLink to their You Tube here Karma Sheen - YouTubePop over to the website (onthehuh.org) it has lots of links to other bands stuff and venues as well as a link to an ever evolving Spotify playlist of Norwich bands material compiled by pod producer Reuben Andrews called La musique de Norwich.chin chin
