- The Good Intentions are an award-winning Liverpool based alt-folk-Americana band.

London-based Joe Warricker‘s looks are somewhat deceptive, and the casual observer could be forgiven for instantly labelling him as just another super-cute indie kid. However, hang around long enough to hear him sing and Joe Warricker will just as quickly turn your expectations upside down with a voice that QX Magazine described as being that of “a black soul diva”.

The Good Intentions are a five-piece band from Liverpool playing Americana, folk/country music, using guitars, banjo, stand-up bass, mandolin, autoharp, lapsteel and harmonies. 
Laura James was surrounded by the music of her father, blues musician Chris James, from a young age andfound herself falling comfortably into songwriting and performing. . 
Acollectíve is Acollectíve.
Acollectíve is the resonating echoes of quacking ducks in a sealed room, also known as a band, a dual-headed machine of construction-yard-philosophy which consumes every scrap encountered, from banged-up Folk to burned-down Middle-Eastern-Funk, breaking hips and shaking hearts along the way.
Acollectíve is a 7-piece supergroup of some of the most popular indie musicians in Israel, fronted by Idan Rabinovici and Roy Rieck. Formed in 2008, it started out as a spontaneous musical gathering on the main boulevard of Tel-Aviv in protest of the insufficient number of spontaneous musical gatherings. Like many protests, this too was misinterpreted, quickly becoming a weekly cult gathering, leading inexplicably yet inevitably to the founding of the band.
Acollectíve were soon playing to packed-out audiences, establishing a loyal fan-base, and gaining critical acclaim and extensive airplay in Israel – all this without any support or plan of any sort. Since 2009 the band have toured and lived between Israel, France and the UK, quickly earning a local following and a reputation for show-stopping concerts, wherever they are.
Acollectíve are a mesmerising live experience, a mayhem of whisky, sweat, and a seemingly infinite arsenal of genres and musical instruments – mixing up boogied-folk, electronic-jazz and a Middle Eastern-bluesy twang. Their distinctive captivating sound and energetic stage presence has led to support slots for Okkervil River and Jose Gonzalez, amongst others, and even a recording session at the Manic Street Preachers’ private studio, courtesy of the band. Acollectíve are currently recording their next album, for release in early 2011.
Acollectíve is Acollectíve. Words are nice. Music is better. Join the fun.
