Thomas Headon WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER | SPOTIFY 20-year old Thomas Headon was born in London. At age 5 his family moved to Melbourne, Australia, where he grew up. As a young teenager he started posting cover versions of his favourite songs on Youtube, which helped him to start building an international fanbase. Influenced by the likes of The 1975, Coldplay, Harry Styles, Tyler The Creator and Rex Orange County, Thomas also started writing and producing original songs. In 2019 he moved back to London to pursue his career in music and released his self- written and self-produced debut single Grace in September 2019, followed by Clean Me Up. His debut EP The Greatest Hits gained over 22 million streams already. As a follow up, Thomas released his second EP in September 2020. The Goodbye EP included the singles Loving You, Focus, UrbanAngel1999 and Cut And Bleach My Hair. All tracks received high praises and plays from radio, including tripleJ unearthed and BBC Radio1. In late 2020 he was one of the first artists to curate Spotifyʼs Our Generation playlist and triple j named him a "seriously impressive force in pop music" and a "star on the rise." Thomas sold out his first ever headline shows in London, two nights at Heaven (1000 capacity each). The shows will be part of his 17-date UK tour, now rescheduled to November 2021, for which most dates are sold out already. While being back in Australia earlier this year, he was able to play not only a few festival gigs but also his first ever headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney. His last single Bored, a feature with American singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine was released in March 2021 and was called "a pretty cute song" by his own mother. With a constantly growing loyal and highly engaged fanbase on social media and more music to be released later this summer not even a lockdown can stop him. fanclubwallet WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM | TWITTER | SPOTIFY | SOUNDCLOUD When Hannah Judge sings "I went to bed and didn't get out for ten months," she isn't kidding. Three days after releasing breakthrough track, "Car Crash in G Major, "Judge, who makes punchy, idiosyncratic bedroom pop under the moniker fanclubwallet, suffered a Crohn's disease flare up, sending the Ottawa-based artist into hospital and ultimately leaving her bedridden in her childhood home. Yet far from letting her disability leave her inert, Judge met the moment by creating fanclubwallet's charming, delightfully DIY debut EP, Hurt is Boring. Crafted between hospital visits by Judge and her producer/gradeschool bestie, Michael Watson, Hurt is Boring perfectly captures the innate balance of our stunted reality by tackling big feelings through the lens of emotional distance. "It's about taking the good with the bad," Judge, whose illness is now in remission, explains. "You can't really appreciate one without the other." Opening with the aforementioned "Car Crash in G Major," a jaunty, metaphorical take on the final weeks of a doomed relationship which already boasts over 1.5 million streams on Spotify, the EP includes five new, yet equally indie-darling-soundtrack ready tracks. Throughout, Judge offers catchy, fresh takes on life's melodramatic moments, a style she winkingly describes as "writing emo shit that doesn't sound emo." For a case-in-point, look no further than the plaintive power-pop of lead single, "C'mon Be Cool," which perfectly sums up the feeling of moving beyond a moment when your friends are stuck in the past. "I feel like a lot of people might have felt this way during the pandemic," Judge says of the song's theme. "You're isolated, your life has changed so much in a year, and you realize that maybe everyone else's lives have not changed in the same manner." Named in honor of a Dennis the Menace wallet that belonged to her father, fanclubwallet began as a catch-all for Judge's lo-fi musical musings, created using children's keyboards in an effort to directly conjure her intended sound in as uncomplicated a manner as possible. In early 2020, a well-received cover of The Talking Head's "This Must Be the Place," gave Judge the confidence to release a steady stream of singles. With each successive track, fanclubwallet carefully carved out a dedicated following (including super agent Tom Windish, who asked to manage the up and coming act) while finding placement on such esteemed playlists as Spotify's New Music Friday and Lorem. With Hurt is Boring, fanclubwallet is set to charm a generation that's been stuck at home, evaluating old relationships and generally being bored of being bored. As Judge sagely points out on the EP's titular closing track, "Hurt is boring, but so is happiness. And I think that I like one more than the other."
