The Rubberbandits

Straddling the comedy and music worlds like a tracksuit wearing colossus, Limerick's Rubberbandits have manipulated and bullied their way to a level far beyond either their talent or intellect. Songs like "Bag of Glue", "Too Many Gee" and "Up Da Ra" have made them the 12th most popular MySpace page in the whole of Ireland. With prank phone calls, songs and riotous live shows Rubberbandits have emerged as the country's surrealists beyond compare. Comedic genius or verbal diarrhoea, decide for yourselves.

Spector

"They've been dubbed 'East London's answer to The Strokes' or 'Dalston's Kaiser Chiefs', Spector's melancholic widescreen pop owes as much to the likes of Roxy Music and Pulp and has more than a touch of the New Romantic about it." - BBC Sound Of 2012

The Raincoats

The Raincoats were formed by Ana Da Silva, and Gina Birch in 1977, signed to Rough Trade records, and released their seminal self titled debut album in 1979. They went on to release a further 3 albums before breaking up in 1984, but decided to reform in 1993 following a meeting with Kurt Cobain who had stated that they were his favourite band of all time. While in London in 1992 Kurt had sought out Ana, wrote about the meeting on Nirvana's 'Incesticide' album, and wrote the sleeve notes for the reissue of their first 3 albums. The Raincoats were due to support Nirvana on their 1994 U.K tour, but sadly Kurt died the week before the tour was due to begin. They also number Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Robert Wyatt amongst their fans. The Raincoats have subsequently released one more album, an E.P, and 2 singles and recently toured North America.

Throwing Up

A four piece alternative band from London that don't take themselves too seriously. "Throwing Up make super cool snarly stripped-down punk that sounds to these ears like a catchy post-grunge echo of DC's Chalk Circle mixed with a bit of that lo-fi Messthetics-style hustle bustle". Maximumrocknroll
