Indie-funk five piece The Foals, who make an irresistible blend of electronic-pop, dirty disco and pulsating indie-tech. Punked up, funked out and most definitely music to get down and boogie to. '…one of the hottest new bands in indie - they deserve your immediate and total adulation.' - NME

Darling of the music press whose quiet, slow dreamy songs blend trip-hop breaks with folky guitar and haunting vocals. First noticed by dance music supremo William Orbit when a suitably inebriated Orton sang on his 'Strange Cargo' albums. There is a definite 70s folk influence, (Neil Young, Rickie Lee Jones and Joni Mitchell), which has effortlessly moved to the noughties.

British Sea Power are Yan, Noble Hamilton, Woody and Eamon. The band began life in Cumbria, 2001, and after a few relocations gained an enormous reputation in Brighton and then Europe, as tour supports to such greats as Interpol and The Flaming Lips. By the end of 2004, they were known worldwide, receiving acclaim as 'the best band in Britain' (Sunday Times) and attaining the Time Out award for Live Band Of The Year.

A kaleidoscope of cut and paste sounds and old skool beats, combined with some chilled vocals, The Go! Team have been building up legions of avid fans over the last year or so. The fact that a fifteen minute power failure in the middle of their headlining set on Glastonbury's John Peel stage failed to deter any of the crowd should tell you all you need to know about their live performances. Imagine Saint Etienne and Grandmaster Flash playing recorders and other school-music-cupboard instruments and you're somewhere close. Superb.

Easily one of the best unsigned alternative bands in the UK. With Radio 1 airtime already under their belts and an amazing show at the Great Escape, White Lies belt out the kind of massively epic, chart-topping pop The Killers should still be making. Backed by the management team that are responsible for the Kaiser Chiefs.
