“Straight outta Ladbroke Grove here comes a chirpy meltdown of dub, punk and rockers with more than a nod Clashwards in their socially conscious lyrics. Even Bristol gets a namecheck for a certain supermarket contretemps up the road.”

“Tandem's contemporary, yet traditionally informed sound, newly complete with electronic injection, is hard to ignore. Dave Malkin (guitar and vocals) and Henry Webster (fiddle) were brought together by a shared love of traditional music. They were joined by composer and electronic musician Ben Corrigan in 2013 to release their debut album'From Good Stock'. Their theatrical and virtuosic performances have gained them recognition as a live band, constantly pushing the boundaries of a traditionally inspired sound.”

“They took their name from a Macedonian wedding dance tune, they have violin and accordion in the acoustic line-up but with a beatbox in the sound, and maybe a cello, Ushti Baba have more tricks up their ten sleeves than you might expect.”
