Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! A double headliner of winking, witty art-pop at The Cube. War Against Sleep's Duncan Fleming wrestles Cave-esque dark crooning with irresistible psych-pop melodies, while Emily Breeze’s indie-noir is seductive yet melancholic, uncanny yet anthemic… Patti Smith meets Pulp in paradoxical femme fatale form. Two of Bristol’s best underground songwriters here for sure! "

War Against Sleep
“Duncan Fleming is a genius of a songwriter walking a razor sharp tightrope between deranged humour and classic pop music. War Against Sleep is his ongoing battle against the absurd waking dream that passes for life, in which he plunders the hidden treasures of a thousand charity shop records, writing songs that tingle the spine, move the soul and lift the spirit.”
