More Information

Oasis

Oasis

'Beatlesque' melodies combined with attitude and arrogance akin to The Rolling Stones made this Madchester quintet one of the most important bands of the 90s. Catapulted to fame in 1994 with their debut album, 'Definitely Maybe', the Gallagher brothers fell effortlessly into the rock'n'roll lifestyle of sex, drink and drugs, offending everyone they met along the way. Famed for their temper tantrums as much as their music, their antics have made them Britpop's favourite bad boys and a godsend for the press. Love them or hate them, you can't deny their ability to write a damn good pop tune.

Snow Patrol

Snow Patrol

Belfast alt-rockers who've dominated the UK indie rock scene since their breakthrough success with the album Final Straw and the single 'Run' reaching #3 in 2003. From there, Snow Patrol have taken their sound into powerpop territory and even scored a place on the soundtrack to Spiderman 3 with their hit song 'Signal Fire'.

Elbow

Elbow

Gritty romantic realism from this melancholic and emotional guitar-based band from Manchester, England. Nominated for Best British Newcomer at the 2002 Brit Awards and triumphant winners of the 2008 Nationwide Mercury Music Prize.

James

James

Champions of the Madchester era, and famous for anthems such as Sit Down and She's A Star, James are one of the classic bands of the British music scene. Now reformed after a five year hiatus, James are back and better than ever.

Biffy Clyro

Biffy Clyro

Quite possibly one of the most exciting bands in Britain, Scots trio Simon Neil (guitar/vocals), Ben Johnston (drums/vocals) and James Johnston (bass/vocals) combine moments of extreme aggression with achingly tender guitar pickings and passionately lovelorn lyricism.

For more information, see the website

Ocean Colour Scene

Ocean Colour Scene

Nineties indie pop band whose sixties retro sound coupled with their obvious individual talents and collective knack of reaching the heart and soul of the nation's music buying public has certainly paid off.
