=================The Artists================
At Mostly Toast we like to work with musicians we like in various capacities. Here are a few of the artists we are working with at the moment or have worked with in the past.
Box Kid
www.myspace.com/boxkidband
"Electro reggae pop -CSS stylee electropop mixed with the winsome quality of Feist in the female vocal. Subtle acoustic stripped down reggae/soul, he sounds like a grittier Finlay Quaye with sou... Read Morelful harmonies. Box Kid keep it skipping about all over the place. highly skilled genre weaving songwriters." Bugbear Promotions (London)
To Sophia
www.myspace.com/tosophia
Acoustic drum 'n' bass when we're live, according the lovely Meg (cheers Meg), and..."There's traces of Massive Attack's brooding claustrophobia, hints of Portishead's sonic intricacy and...vocals - soulful, potent, vaulting between seductress and antagonist, and delivering some awe-inspiring lyrics which are 'literary' in the best possible sense" according to David Sue of the good old MEN.

"A spine tingling evening that guarantees you will sleep with one eye open"The Met Arts Association.

Band Members: The Mostly Toast Catalogue:

Box Kid - Mostly Acoustic EP (Live @ Venue45 08.05.08) (£5.00 + £2.00 p&p)

Box Kid are one of the freshest new talents in Manchester. Recently signed to Mostly Toast this recording was made at a Mostly Toast night at Venue45 and we are recording a studio EP that will be due for release sometime in the new year. The tracklisting is: Dance With Me, 80's Day, In Your World, We Are The Tides, Come To My House.

Ragtime Sam - Reaching For The Blues (£8.00 + £2.00 p&p)

In February 2008 Sam completed recording his debut album 'Reaching for the Blues' featuring eleven tracks that capture the essence of his music. As with his live performance the album demonstrates a wide range of styles and techniques and is a exciting blend of different examples of Ragtime and Blues. Featuring instrumentals and songs from such performers as Sam McGee and Blind Willi Johnson as well as a vast array of original compositions.

Rex Stinson - Precious Child (£3.99 + £2.00 p&p)

Rex Stinson is a singer songwriter from a band called the Strawberry Story who recieved airplay from John Peel in the 80's. Rex is a little older now however and felt his new material was better released to the world in a different guise, hence his debut solo album. This album is heavily influenced by the particularly tough times Rex is going through at the moment. Rex has a terminally ill 4 year old daughter named Ruby and the writing of this album has helped him a great deal over the past few months. All the profits from this album will go to a hospice called Derian House who have been a great support to Rex and his family.

Robert John - Mostly Acoustic EP (Live @ Venue45 08.02.08) (£3.00 + £2.00 p&p)

This recording was made by Mostly Toast at Mostly Acoustic at Venue 45 on 8th February 2008. The tracklisting for this 3 track EP is: Homesick Bluesman, Inside Out and Blues For You.
