Hard-to-pin-down threesome Hot Club De Paris, are a mixture of modern pop and indie bringing a new spin on the classic britpop band of the mid nineties and the post punk of the eighties. Formed in 2004, and after practising harmonies like there was no tomorrow, Paul Rafferty, Matthew Smith and Alasdair Smith got a record deal and have been touring ever since. Some say they sound like the BeachBoys - throw in a bit of Pulp, Dexy's Midnight Runners and the Arctic Monkeys and you may be getting close.

Euphoric and atmospheric rock from indie-types Sky Larkin. Having toured with The Gossip, Broken Social Scene and iForward Russia!, this Leeds based trio are most certainly ones to watch. '...a glorious mixture of stupendous pop melodies, pleasing-to-the-eye personnel and a host of quirks to boot.' - Drowned In Sound.
