Laura Marling

Painfully honest and hauntingly beautiful acoustic folk-pop from Reading's Laura Marling. 'Lyrics that carry an Eastenders-like weight of the world way beyond her...years, and a voice to lift hearts with its chestnut croak and rich, soaring, Emmy Lou-Harris tones.' - Drowned In Sound

Goldie Lookin' Chain

With more razzle-dazzle jewellery than Mr T, this novelty rap act from South Wales manage to make The Streets' Mike Skinner appear positively middle-class. The 15 chavs that make up GLC were somehow signed to independent label EastWest on the dubious strength of a handful of tracks that had been burnt to CDR and passed around the pubs of Newport. Now, armed with songs about smoking weed, shagging monkeys and, erm, 'cider enemas', they are headlining gigs around the UK.

Phoenix (Paris)

Indie pop gets a French twist with this superb quartet. Although more obscure than their hugely successful label mates Air, you may have heard them on the Oscar-winning soundtrack for 'Lost In Translation'. It's quirky, sexy pop with an added dash of Parisian chic.

Kid Carpet

He's a one-man electronic band, playing broken-hearted modern music, with wit and style (and a few props). He recently appeared on the new ITV music show 'Earshot', playing a one-day tour of London. That's right, multiple shows in one town on the same day! Live he plays an electro-pop cover of Van Halen's 'Jump' that features voice samples from Ivor Cutler. And his single 'Sh*t Dope' samples the 80's Children's TV programme Choc-a-bloc. Expect dodgy samples, carboot sale keyboards, kids toys, plastic guitar solos, dodgy singing, pathos aplenty and sellotape.
