More Information

Noah & The Whale

Noah & The Whale

Energetic popsters from London whose proficient songs and live sets employ beautiful harmonies and elements of folk and bluegrass to good effect. Their hit song '5 Years' Time' is sufficient to reel in any potential fan, as their packed-out gigs would suggest.

The King Blues

The King Blues

'Conscious rudeboy ska' outfit The King Blues began life as a duo, expanding to a sextet and signing to Field Recordings by 2007. The band take a raw, punk attitude to ska, with autobiographical songs and 'a commitment to politics and resistance'.

The Young Knives

The Young Knives

A three-pronged vocal attack and catchy guitars & drums are the bread and butter of The Young Knives, formerly known as The Pony Club. Quirky, spazzy and poppy, the threesome are as eccentric as they are prolific.

Frank Turner

Frank Turner

Million Dead singer turned folk troubador Frank Turner. His solo career began where Million Dead left off, and since then he has achieved cult status as a singer-songwriter. Dive Dive have often served has his backing band and appear on his records, and Chris T-T is now also a backing musician for Turner. In March 2008, he released Love, Ire and Song, his second album, to fantastic acclaim.

Esser

Replacing regular guitar with samples, Esser's live show is a collection of very slick sampling and huge drum beats with plenty of extra percussion on top. Similar to early Beck in many ways, except replace that American Scientologist drawl with very English punctuation and dry humour and you can see why Esser is causing a stir.

Beardyman

Beardyman

Mouth-play from human beatbox extraordinaire and winner of the UK beatboxing crown for two years running.

Nine Black Alps

Nine Black Alps

Nine Black Alps have come a long way, as is self-evident in the release of their second album, 'Love/Hate' in August of 2007 on Island Records. Sam, David, James and Martin have promised, apparently, to 'furrow their brows, vent their spleens and bleed their hearts into the production of a glorious technicolour audiophonic dreamscape'. Whether or not they mop up afterwards, it's onwards and upwards for the Manchester quartet.

Karima Francis

Karima Francis

Manchesters hottest property at the moment is young Karima Francis. Treading a line that brings memories of Van Morrison, Jeff Buckley, Tracey Chapman and Joan Armatrading.

Dananananaykroyd

Dananananaykroyd

This Glasgow six-piece formed in January 2006. Drawing on influences from Rocket from the Crypt and Sonic Youth to Jim O'Rourke and Stereolab, they have dubbed their raw brand of music 'Fight Pop'.

Baddies

Baddies

Formed from the ashes of previous bands in and around Southend, Essex, Baddies are 4 friends on a mission to make you listen, and listen you will. Theirs is a sound that flits effortlessly from Talking Heads to Queens Of The Stone Age in the blink of an eye.

The Boxer Rebellion

The Boxer Rebellion

Full throttle, emotional four-piece indie pop band in the vein of Coldplay, Travis and Radiohead.

For more information, see the website

The Rascals (1)

The Rascals (1)

Formed from the ashes of Little Flames, the Liverpool psych-pop quintet who supported the Coral and Arctic Monkeys. Upbeat and reflective indie-pop with an abrasive edge.

Detroit Social Club

Detroit Social Club

The most retro sounding band in the UK Indie Charts by far, Detroit Social Club's gospel influenced, folkish rock'n'roll will transport you to a crowded, sun-soaked festival field in the 1970s. A well-baked, analogue sounding group that have been quick to make waves on the UK music scene and are bound to make more.

Johnny Foreigner

Johnny Foreigner

Boy-girl yelpy vocals, busted up charity shop kids keyboards and Sonic Youth steam-train guitars' - The Fly. 'Wielding Pavement-esque spec-rock as artfully as they siphon Pixies' eyeball-splitting roar. They're simply sticking up two fists at the bore-rock masses' - NME.
