More Information

The National

The National

American quintet singing songs of love, loss and life, influenced by the likes of Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Joy Division and Tindersticks.

For more information, see the website

Spiritualized

Spiritualized

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.

Crystal Castles

Crystal Castles

Canadian electro from Toronto's boy-girl duo Crystal Castles, whose lo-fi approach to the genre makes their music both sweet and sincere whilst being every bit as punk as the rest. '...hit and run electropop, flailing, pulsing beeps smashed over an evil beat and driven onward by an incomprehensible shrieked vocal.' - Drowned In Sound.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

The Brian Jonestown Massacre

A psychedelic rock band founded in San Francisco, California in the early 90s, led by Anton Newcombe. They are most famous for their role in the 2004 documentary 'DiG!', which details their explosive onstage antics and their feud with fellow 60's psych-rock revivalists the Dandy Warhols. Describing their music Anton ( co-writer / vocalist ) says: ' This is not some mamby-pamby-pop-culture-vomit, regurgitating or emulating something else. These are whispers from the underworld and tears of joy from heaven. These are anthems for all time'.

Stars (1)

Stars (1)

Indie-rockers from Montreal, often associated with Broken Social Scene, making furious lo-fi, fragmented rock and twisted pop. Somewhere between The Shins and Modest Mouse via David Gedge's Cinerama.

Texan one-man band The Rocket Summer aka Bryce Avery performing indie pop and rock. The Rocket Summer have played on the Vans Warped and the Sleeping With Giants tours and gathered much critical praise for the albums Calendar Days, Hello, Good Friend and Do You Feel.

Friendly Fires

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, shown on 9th November 2007. Signed to Moshi Moshi they are a band subject to much media frenzy.

The Whip

The Whip

Deliciously dark electro-pop from Manchester four piece The Whip, whose music is a heady mix of disco beats and eighties synths. 'Cool metallic pop. Bunker-busting hooks…' - NME

Yeasayer

Yeasayer

Brookland-based psychedelic/alternative/indie/soul band made up of Anand Wilder, Chris Keating, Ira Wolf Tuton and Luke Fasano. '...wandering, dream-adelic arrangements with a starry-eyed affection for retro-rock of the 1970s – think the Fleetwood Macs of this world, alongside a smattering of other plastic-sleeved LPs you might have flicked through as a kid while your dad's back was turned.' - Drowned In Sound.
