Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, or Sam to his friends, has to be filed under one of BSM's best. Doing something a little bit different to a lot of people around right now, Sam mixes delicate guitar melodies with intelligent lyrics, electronic drum beats and any other noises he can get out of his laptop.

Hailing from Southend, possibly the most unlikely of all rock n roll launch pads, there is definitely a maturity well beyond his years, which is clear from the very first time you listen to one of his Postal Service crossed with Damien Rice-esque masterpieces.

Sam can often be found clutching his guitar and laptop computer on one of the countries many Mega Bus routes. Surely the most punk rock touring transport choice in the world?
