The Veils are a London based indie/alternative rock band, fronted by charismatic lead singer/songwriter,Finn Andrews. Drowned In Sound said recently of Andrews' live performance "it reminds us less of Brett Anderson orNick Cave, and more of people’s accounts of watching Ian Curtis, at once uncomfortable and impossible to look away". August Brown of The LA Times recently described their live show as "probably the most moving, unsettling and unexpectedly haunting thing I've seen in rock music this year."
Foreign Born is an American folk rock band. They began in San Francisco during the late summer months of 2003, but soon relocated to Los Angeles. They self-released their first 12" single ("We Had Pleasure" b/w "Escape"), and then their debut EP "In the Remote Woods" via StarTime International Records. While touring the US and UK with Rogue Wave, Jason Collette, Cold War Kids, Giant Drag and We Are Scientists, they recorded their first full length album, On the Wing Now, in the fall/winter of 2005, self-released 500 or so copies that they sold on the previously mentioned tours, and officially released the album with Dim Mak on August 21, 2007. They were featured in Spin Magazine in October 2007.
