A highly stylized portrait of Margaret Thatcher looming like a giant over the landscape, holding a sword in each hand, and covered in Fat Cats. A group of striking miners in the foreground is being harrassed by police. The scene is deliberately reminiscent of the famous frontispiece to Hobbes' Leviathan by Abraham Bosse, but this is more in the style of Molly Crabapple, for she is the artist here. Old Blue Witch
A cartoon depiction of a black woman with green lips and grey eyes, with long flowing purple hair, naked from the waist up, covering herself mostly with her arms, staring directly at you, surrounded by a brown ring of thorns with little men caught in them. Sleeping Beauty
A beautiful young blonde woman in a white and blue shift stands in a forest, looking to the right, with a tree and a pond immediately behind her. She is holding a large glass of red wine. Sweet Sister Starlight
A black and white photo of a three piece band, with Wayne in the middle, on guitar, wearing a trilby, looking at Hezron on the right, who is playing fiddle, wearing a flat cap, with Paul, on electric upright bass on the left. Paul is hatless. The whole thing is at a rakish angle, so Paul appears to be lower than Hezron is. Live At Monkey Chews
A young man dressed all in black, with a black hat, is playing an acoustic guitar and staring intently at his left hand. There is a high stool behind him to the left. Bless Your Heart

Fit and the Conniptions

Fit and the Conniptions pull no punches, take no prisoners, hold no bars, suffer no fools and need no introduction. Led by bassist and songwriter Wayne Myers, né guitarist and songwriter Wayne Myers, they have been knocking around the more interesting corners of London eclectica since 2006. Now four albums in, their sound has evolved from the solo lo-fi project of Bless Your Heart, through the bluesy folk-rock period of Sleeping Beauty and Sweet Sister Starlight, to the unashamedly guitar-free anti-folk-punk bass / drums / fiddle / banjo trio of the latest release, Old Blue Witch.
