Billy Bloodaxe's tracks are a regular on the Tokyo Indie Ipod and they are so good that Tokyo Indie's main man Sam, a die hard Geordie, is willing to overlook the fact that he is Mackem scum. Billy's tunes mix an etheral gothic atmosphere with some sharp synth-pop stylings and 8-bit Sega Megadrive stabs. Still working the unsigned band circuit in the North East of England, it is clear that if these tracks got the recording and production they deserve then the sound would be so much richer. Billy has kindly made all his tracks available to download:

Personal favourite "Dear Pale Dane" (showcased on Tom Robison's BBC 6 Music show) conjours up images of Robert Smith stumbling round Hamlet's castle, perfect for these snappingly cold winter nights. Tokyo Indie hopes of big things from this young chap.
