Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, aka Southend boy Sam Duckworth, has gone from strength to strength since the world sat up and took notice after an open mic session in late 2005 caught the attention of Radio One's Huw Stephens. Fusing softly punk vocals and simple acoustic melodies, GCWCF appears to have stumbled across a formula that has seen critics and fans alike, bowing at his feet.

Formed out of the ashes of the sadly missed Spacemen 3. Spiritualized have consistently made music that epitomises the phrase 'Junkie Cool'. Amazing songs about life, death, love, sex, drugs and the big guy upstairs. Live they are incredible and could have anything from a small horn section to a full orchestra to back them up, and a pretty cool light show too.

Charming pop from this cartoon-obsessed duo. Switching between sounding like English gents one moment, to Swedish popsters the next, The Boy Least Likely To make the simplest of music with the maximum of effect.

The artist formerly known as Manitoba, offering up a likeable blend of electronica and sunshine pop. Their live set sees them deliver a carnival-esque whirl of ridiculous melodies, effusive noise, stampeding beats alongside furiously harmonised vocals. Two drummers, visuals and whirling guitars and keyboards create a claustrophobic, mesmeric soundscape akin to My Bloody Valentine and the sprawling, bucolic tour de force, like early Mercury Rev.
