This is the first of what we hope will be a regular feature in conjunction with Rocklinks.co.uk the home of Unsigned Bands.

Nathaniel Sutton was born in Edmonton Alberta in Canada in 1983 and first took up guitar in high school. Having mastered the instrument over the next few years, Sutton decided to learn to play drums eventually leading to the start of his musical career, playing in covers bands.

With some sort of musical apprenticeship under his belt, Sutton soon found that he had more to offer than playing other band’s songs and made the decision to write and record his own material. As a self styled ‘one man band’ he would not only write his own material, but also play, sing and record the track’s himself.

Drawing on inspirations such as Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr. /Sebadoh/Folk Implosion), Eric Bachman (Crooked Fingers/ Archers of Loaf), Tim Kasher (Cursive/ The Good Life) and  Isaac Brock ( Modest Mouse), Nathaniel Sutton’s first album Dramatic Scene was born. He is currently working on a second album. Visit Nathaniel Sutton’s MySpace page here.

Cabaret Rat is another ‘one man band’, featuring the voice, instrumentals and song writing skills of Matt Prosac. Originally from Blackpool, Prosac would front several band’s in the nineties, but eventually decided to go it alone in 2005.

Prosac draws on his experiences in the musical savvy North West of England combining his love of punk music, junk food, booze and sex, with his musical inspirations such as Adam and the Ants, KLF, Ministry and Front 242, he recorded his first album in 2005  entitled Infected Milk. This album features the track Lets Watch Porn, apparently based on a true story about a date that was going oh so well.

This was followed in 2007 with the brilliantly titled album, Scaring Little Albert. Matt is currently working on a third album Walking With Sharks.
