Bad Wolf: So many other bands scamper around their genres like little lost puppies, Bad Wolf mean business; they let rip and take you on a rocket trip with a full-throttle howl at the moon!
"When they turn berserker, they sound like Matt Bellamy chained to a monster truck being dragged around a derby" (NME)

Billy Bones; “If The Pogues and Gogol Bordello had dirty rough sex with Arcade Fire in the toilet of a dry docked old sailing ship themed pub and the filthy sprogs that popped out 9 months on were hand reared by The Clash and Hunter S Thompson, in a shit caravan decorated inside by Tim Burton parked on some wasteground upstairs in the Hawley Arms, and…. those sprogs grew up into a band, the chances are that the band would be named Billy Bones” (Daily Mail). http://billybonesband.com
Symphonic Pictures: A colourful mix of slow burning electronica, recalling Stereolab or Gruff Ryhs at their most hypnotic. The band list a spectrum of influences including experimental, pop, shoegaze, avant garde, art rock and new wave. This leftfield mix forgets their place in psychedelic space while engaging melody and structure. http://symphonicpictures.com * http://.facebook.com/
The Last Of The Troubadours; An ambitious South London quartet loaded with tunes, swagger and edge. With a debut EP ‘Sooner The Better’ claiming cool feedback from luminaries like Edwyn Collins and early attention in all the right places, this sharp dressed and mod possessed outfit could be your new heroes. http://
Within weeks of forming, Blue Lip Feel recorded their 6-track EP ‘Shallow Getaway’, showcasing their distinctive, crunching sound. It’s 2011 release led to slots with national media darlings like Tribes, Kassidy and Various Cruelties. They then returned to the studio and refined their style further through ‘Glitterbox EP’ (March 2012). Outspoken, brash and confident, Blue Lip Feel see themselves as the antidote to the safe and mundane landfill littering our music scene. "This, my friends is one band to watch out for, as they rapidly accelerate up from the underground into the music ether." (WhatCulture)
The Rimes: “Not genre fuelled, but music driven.’ This pride of the Midlands outfit are on the rise courtesy of their Sixties tinged power pop and fervent fan base packing out venues and creating an early buzz. http://therimes.co.uk
