More Information

Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys

Raw, young, honest and perceptive quartet from Sheffield, combining bemusement, catchy instrumental loops and a little endearing provocation. Genuinely witty lyrics put to music which is simultaneously brash, gentle, danceable and downright tuneful.

The Prodigy

The Prodigy

One of the biggest innovators in commercial dance music since 1990, musical genius Liam Howlett and his colleagues were at the forefront of the rave explosion ('Experience'), early techno/trance/dance crossovers ('Jilted Generation') and rap/punk,techno fusion ('Fat Of the Land'). Known for their stunning lightshows and MCing when playing live, The Prodigy will take your brain to another dimension.

Maximo Park

Maximo Park

Rock band from Newcastle whose tightly-wound songs are biting, contemporary takes on the familiar feelings of being trapped in a small town and desperately needing to escape. The tunes vibrate with contained energy, and the anger more than occasionally spills out into faster, harder pop-rock.

Ian Brown

Ian Brown

Former Stone Roses frontman pursuing his groove-edged funky solo career. The monkey man of Britpop is still flying high while those around him have crashed and burned; Ian's stars have never burned brighter.

The Courteeners

The Courteeners

Manchester's The Courteeners both look and sound as though they've come straight out of another time and place, and yet, somehow, are bang up to date. Think Babyshambles meets The Smiths and you'll be somewhere close to their gritty, electrifying sound. 'NME strongly advises that you do put your life in the hands of this rock 'n' roll band'.

Enter Shikari

Enter Shikari

Post-hardcore four-piece with electronic-trance influences. Hailing from St Albans, the band have become known for their relentless touring and their innovative sound, fusing hardcore-metal with dance music. '...one of the most exciting, brutal and explosive live bands on Britain's screamo / post hardcore scene.' - LastFm

Eagles Of Death Metal

Eagles Of Death Metal

Despite their beginnings in 1998, EODM did not release an album until 2004, due to Josh Homme's dedication to his other band Queens Of The Stone Age. Following the debut release, however, much publicity was to be seen as a number of television productions snapped up their songs for use as soundtracks. The band released their thrid album, Heart On, in 2008. The premise for the group is simple: it's born of Jesse Hughes' desire to write music that sounds like the Eagles crossed with Death Metal.

The Rakes

The Rakes

The Rakes formed in 2002, coming together as a foursome of childhood friends and kindred spirits, and went on to release three critically acclaimed albums; the first Capture/Release in 2005, followed by Ten New Messages in 2007 and Klang (2009). The band split in October 2009.
