The Boy Least Likely To

Charming pop from this cartoon-obsessed duo. Switching between sounding like English gents one moment, to Swedish popsters the next, The Boy Least Likely To make the simplest of music with the maximum of effect. 'A homespun blend of tender country folk, Beach Boys melodies and ramshackle disco that sounds like Belle and Sebastian mucking about in the rec room.’ – RollingStone.

The Broken Family Band

A band from Cambridge with a disturbing take on country rock. Dark lyrics mix with uplifting music to create an oddly moving experience. 'From hangovers to messy relationships, this will be the soundtrack to any emotional minefield you should want to stumble through this year'- www.dosomethingpretty.com

Dan Sartain

A wonderfully raw mix of mod-rock, blues, punk and Elvis-esque rockabilly. Dan Sartain sounds like Johnny Cash would if he’d been in the Sex Pistols or Gene Vincent if he’d been in The Libertines. A gnarly mix of unrefined, ramshackle blues, distinctively punky riffs and Sartain’s devil-worship drawl. ‘Join Dan Sartain? Forget that: I want to be Dan Sartain.’ – Drowned in Sound

J. Tillman

Drummer and backing vocalist of Fleet Foxes and a solo act in his own right. Drawing comparisons with the likes of Nick Drake, Will Oldham, Jason Molina and Elliot Smith. His blues-influenced songs are defined by his beautiful yet disconsolate voice and devastatingly poignant prose, accented by gorgeous, spare arrangements.

The Lost Brothers

Malcolm Middleton

Born and raised in Falkirk, Scotland, Malcolm Middleton first found fame as a prominent member of Scottish lo-fi folk group Arab Strap. Middleton's solo career, which he ran alongside Arab Strap until their split in 2006, has provided a perfect outlet for his personal, harrowing and heartfelt songwriting. 'While his morale languishes somewhere in a cold Falkirk bedsit, melodically his songs whoop from mountain peaks.' – Observer Music Monthly.

Mumford & Sons

West London quartet Mumford & Sons create classic, bluegrass-inspired folkster songs, that has quickly created a buzz across the British media. As peers of Laura Marling and Noah and The Whale, vocalist Marcus Mumford is a wonderfully wise and weathered songwriter in his own right. The band's debut EP, 'Lend Me Your Eyes' was released in July 2008, through Chess Club Recordings.

Okkervil River

'As in great theater, most get ruined by heartbreak or choose suicide rather than exist without the passion they can never have. Okkervil River plays loose and fast with literary concepts. The quartet's 'Black Sheep Boy' adopts its character from the Tim Hardin song and deposits him into weeping folk-rock fables about cursed fates, scarred emotions and marooned lives.' - Chicago Tribune.

Papercuts

Papercuts is Jason Quever's cathedral of sound, a place for the desperate worship of all things analog and devotion to the musicianship of the old world. A marriage of timeless songs, richly textured studio sounds, classic rock/pop hookery, and focused narratives -- all delivered with Quever's warm voiceand wonderfully layered melodies.

The Horrors

Bridging the unseen gap between mod, goth and punk music, The Horrors have burst onto the scene, spurting a no-nonsense mix of London rock and theatrical punk. Putting as much effort into their dramatic stage shows as they do their immaculate appearances, The Horrors make camp, catchy music that would do a Tim Burton soundtrack proud.

Tenebrous Liar

Dark and demented roots-flavoured avant rock which recalls Shellac, Liars and Nirvana at their most bloody-minded.
