Introducing: Looks Like Miaou (FR)
Extremely pleased to announce that BV will be releasing the first LP from French duo Looks Like Miaou later this month.

Martyr Privates' 'Native Son' clip premieres at... →
It's here! It's finally here.
You can order the new Martyr Privates 7” now, and it’ll ship early next week.

Introducing: Martyr Privates
Forming in early 2011, Martyr Privates were conceived holed up in a storage shed in the Brisbane suburb of Milton while half of the city (and most of Milton) was underwater. There they wrote a collection of songs that would eventually become their debut 7”, due for release on Bon Voyage in February 2012. The 7” is a double A-side of slow-release repetition and pharm-house blues.
