Fusing older folk and blues guitar styles and melodies, with modern party rhythms, mucky synth licks and an uplifting pop sensibility, Inspector Tapehead is a recording project and stripped-back live experience, engineered to move hearts and hinds. The group brings together former Adam Beattie’s Consultants Chris Croasdale (guitar) and Roy Shearer (drums/percussion) with Jonnie Common of Down the Tiny Steps (keyboards). Released debut album Duress Code via Edinburgh-based indie Song, By Toad in August 2010.
