RAP

Tired of The Home Counties, RAP are on the road once again. RAP is a project formed by Guy Gormley and Thomas Bush in London, 2009. With backgrounds in dance/metal/improvised musics, a shared desire to interrogate formative experiences and the conditions surrounding them led the group to pursue more traditional song forms. Their forays into pop music, approached from different angles, have been documented across five albums to date. Their sixth, Navigator, is due July 2026 via Jolly Discs.

Separately they have been steadily pursuing their solo projects under various guises. Thomas Bush has recently released Guld (Lost Domain) and Rejoining (Kasual Plastik). He has a tour forthcoming with Sam Bardsley and plays frequently across Europe. Guy Gormley has been developing the labels Lost Domain, Jolly Discs, and Wain Records as well as releasing his own music under various aliases. He has a records under his Hollow Acid and Doomed monikers forthcoming on Lost Domain
