The Good Natured – “Be My Animal”: SXSW 2011 Showcasing Artist


My name is Sarah McIntosh, I’m a 19 year old singer/songwriter, and I go under the name of “The Good Natured”. When playing live I’m supported by my two band members. National UK press such as The Guardian compare me to the likes of a young Kate Bush. In the last 2 years The Good Natured have played approximately 150 gigs around the UK, culminating recently in a live recording session at BBC Maida Vale studios for Huw Stephens’ Radio 1 show. We have also played outside the UK in Paris, at La Fleche D’or. This summer we played the Isle of Wight, Latitude and V festivals and have just returned from playing CMJ in New York. In summer 2009 I was approached by Harvest Music Publishing USA to license some material to them. Presently I am managed by Simon Bobbett who has been approached by Polydor, A&M, and Asylum records in the UK and Atlantic records in New York. In March 2010, a remix of one of my songs was released on a complilation by French Label “Kitsune” (Kitsune Maison 9). It was also released on their compilation for Japan (Gildas and Masaya Tokyo) and I have also have my EP released in Japan through Fastcut Records. I released my debut single ‘Your Body Is A Machine’ in July and am about to release my second single ‘Be My Animal/Prisoner’, a double AA side.

Unknown Artist – It’s A Pity [HQ] [Smash Dubs]


Check this out dubheads! If you’re into your reggae classics but also like the new-school beats, then you need to get this record now! Featuring the oldies “It’s a pity” and “Police in Helicopter”, with a little Dubstep twist to it. Don’t worry, the only difference is that both the beats and the bass have been beefed up a bit so they can match the Dubstep vibes — no nasty wobbles or filthy basslines! You can still get that original roots feeling from it.
