THE AUSTINS
The Austins are a rock and roll band formed in South Manchester in the summer of 2009. United by their love of good music, the four members of the outfit combine inspiration with raw energy to create a unique sound. With a respect for all that has come before, The Austins offer a modern take on the classic guitar/bass/drums sound, with nods to guitar pop, blues rock, and post-punk within their music.

DEADTAPES
Deadtapes are Alex Redhead [Bass/Vox], Dug McLeod [Drums/Vox] and Glaz [Vox/Guitar]. Deadtapes formed in the winter of 2009 and are currently supporting Mark Burgess [ChameleonsVox] on a string of UK live dates. Deadtapes band members have an extensive back catologue with Manchester bands. They received Radio 1 airplay and John Kennedy XFM single of the week in London whilst signed to Ugly Man Records. During this period they were label mates with [Elbow/I am Kloot].

UNCONSCIOUS JUNGLE
Unconscious Jungle are a Manchester based 5 piece with a sound combining elements of folk, psychedelia, 20th century dance themes and choral harmonies. In between discussion of tea drinking preference and etiquette and eating home-made delights a la Luke's mum, the band practices in a cosy garage in south Manchester and lay down their tracks in a sordid demi mansion in Preston. The band name, stemmed from a spiritual rum-induced word game deep in the Amazon rainforest, is a symbol of the intimate connections between the earth and our consciousness. We hope you like our sound.

KATMANDU
We formed at the beginning of 2010 during The Big Freeze - which was annoying for all involved, but we trudged through and have brought you some tunes straight off the gypsy wagon to entertain your ears. We hope to instill our own take on traditional gypsy music and fuse it with some of that modern indie good stuff. Our influences range from Django Reinhardt to The Brian Jonestown Massacre, before landing at the feet of some old school Muse.
