WE SAY

Afro-beat influences are inspiring music makers across the UK at the moment, from recent features Seye to Little Comets, and Roots Too Deep shows the fantastic Bwani Juntion at their best in all their afro inspired indie glory. Produced by Paul Savage (Franz Ferdinand, Brakes, Mogwai, Teenage Fanclub), the Edinburgh-born band are already recipients of the 'Best Breakthrough Act' at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards and are nominated for 'Scottish Album of the Year'. Having headlined the BBC Introducing stage at T in the Park last year, recorded a session for Huw Stephens and supported The Vaccines and Little Comets, they are now slated for a raft of festivals, with sets lined up at Latitude, The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City and T in the Park, among others. They've attracted support from Radio 1 (Introducing), 6Music, NME, Artrocker, and The Sun.
