each of which are bound to own the stage once they can get back out on

Jockstrap

Jockstrap’s music is created by chucking disparate noises at each other —

whether that’s old-school balladry, disintegrating classical strings,
electronic bleeps and squelches or a monstrously mutated vocal — and

capturing the sparks. The duo of Taylor Skye and Georgia Ellery (the latter

plays violin in Black Country, New Road, another exciting new outfit) met

at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and they put all that learned

knowledge to thrilling use in entirely unconventional ways. Their latest
EP, Wicked City, was superb — it’ll be fascinating to see how it all plays

out live.
