The people behind the noise

Meet the team.

Three music obsessives, several cameras and absolutely no intention of standing quietly at the back.

James

Editor / Husband / Founder

Co-founder and resident chatterbox, James does the edits and runs the socials — deciding what goes out, when, and how loud it goes out. He's incapable of standing anywhere for more than a minute without starting a chin wag with whoever will listen. Carla chases the interviews and keeps him organised, which is just as well: left to his own devices he'd still be by the merch table talking to a stranger at closing time.

Carla

Editor / Wife / Photographer / Founder

Photographer, keyboard captain and lead writer for reviews and editorials, Carla is the reason there's something to read here the morning after a gig. She's a train of enthusiasm — once it leaves the station, it's not stopping. There's a strong brew within arm's reach at all times: Yorkshire Tea, boiled at 100 degrees and somehow lukewarm by the time she gets round to drinking it.

Harry Garlick

Photographer / Gig Chaser / Extra Pair of Eyes

Usually found somewhere between the barrier and the best light in the room, Harry is our camera-carrying accomplice with a knack for catching the split-second moments everyone else misses. Equal parts sharp eye, calm head and good-energy human — if there's sweat, movement or a guitarist pulling an outrageous face, Harry has probably already got the shot.
