NO CARS

“Drinks are spilt. Gobs are creaking open. There’s a girl group on stage – and Japan certainly seems to be their point of origin – but do human beings this uncomplicated really still exist?
Once you get over their innocence, the second most striking thing about No Cars is their gimmick; it’s a sheet music stand in front of the stage. On it are about 10 cards with illustrations on them.
After each song, they pull the cards off to reveal cartoons, maps… weird doodles. Which may well be very ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ – but it’s twisted too. The band play 1950s heartbreak classics with the odd screaming breakdown thrown in to keep the punks happy. Japanese bands are well known for ripping off the West and making it seem fresh – but this is actually moving.” – ARTROCKER MAGAZINE

‘The missing link between Prince, Talking Heads, and Q and Not U’…British/Nigerian singer/songwriter Yinka Oyewole carves out his own unique musical niche, adapting funk in a similar way to The Black Keys have adapted blues. Packed with insistent grooves, unrelenting hooks and super soulful vocals it’s music to be felt as well as heard.
Mr Yinka Oyewole’s influences include Sly Stone, David Bowie, Funkadelic and Elvis Costello. Yinka also draws upon his Nigerian heritage (very evident in the syncopated rhythms), weaving excellent storytelling with insistent grooves, unrelenting hooks and super soulful vocals!
