Artist: Geoff Courts

Multi instrumentalist stalwart of the UK alternative scene, I started in the early 00's with Sour Grape Project, and then spent the best parts of the next two decades touring the UK and Europe - and occasionally beyond - with Punk Rock 'Post Alles' angry alt pioneers, Djevara. 

After several years on guitar in Djevara, so many bassists came and went on the road to 'Success', at some point (around the same time the drummer also left) I said 'Fuck It, I'll do it Myself'.  [FIIDIM]

I went on to develop a fairly unique sound, albeit with an approach influenced by many others. Aggresive yet delicate and well thought through, utilising both guitar and bass, holding down the low-end, but also getting the ocasional solo in. I loved working with the ferocious drums and devastating vocals that propelled Djevara into latent iconic status in the UK underground scene that, like so many bands, never fully realised commercial success yet retained all important creative control and credulity. I've proudly and firmly taken that approach forward to the somtimes annoyance of my other bandmates. I still try to be as noisy as possible. 

Curently active in TIRS and working on (The) Silent Mind.
