The Streets -

The Streets - or Mike Skinner as he's known to his friends - playing an 'extraordinary mix of garage, rap and anything else he can get his hands on' (NME). Whether you love or hate the music, it's originality and impact on the scene is undeniable. His debut album 'Original Pirate Material' was a brilliant blend of urban poetry, cut-up beats and a wicked sense of humour. For many artists, this initial success would have been an unbearable burden, but Skinner returned in late 2003 with the outstanding 'A Grand Don't Come For Free'. An urban concept album, the street-slang lyricism of the original record was complemented with a new found level of emotional maturity. He has raised the bar again, but can he go higher?

The Young Knives -

A three-pronged vocal attack and catchy guitars & drums are the bread and butter of The Young Knives, formerly known as The Pony Club. Quirky, spazzy and poppy, the threesome are as eccentric as they are prolific.

For more information, see the website

Audio Bullys -

Very much cut from the same cloth as The Streets, the Audio Bullys mix hip-hop and funky house with a punk DIY ethic.

For more information, see the website

Friendly Fires -

Friendly Fires lie somewhere between the poppiness of Snap!, the funkiness of Prince, and the electronic dance-iness of Daft Punk Friendly Fires were the first unsigned band ever to play Transmission on Channel 4 which aired on 9th November 2007. Signed to Moshi Moshi they are a band subject to much media frenzy.
