More Information

The Zutons

The Zutons

From Liverpool UK with a glam-rock-boogie-vibe, this band are from the same stable that produced The Coral. However their second album "Tired Of Hanging' Around", showcases a new, heavier, beefier sound. Expect an improved, confident musicianship of five people with more soul than previously demonstrated on their debut record, during which they were still finding their feet. Frustrated but energised, jet-lagged yet raring to go, The Zutons are back with a big, ballsy album brimming with urgent saxophone and meaty riffs; swampy rhythms and pop to jump around to.

Twisted Wheel

Twisted Wheel

Indie band from Manchester and winners of Xfm Manchester’s Uploaded 2007. 'Gobby frontmen might be a manc cliché, but then so are ace bands' say NME, and they may well be right as Twisted Wheel have made their mark as tour supports for Oasis - but will they be the successors to the rock'n'roll giants?

The Sunshine Underground

The Sunshine Underground

Described by themselves as simply 'a party band', Leeds band The Sunshine Underground are a fine mix of indie and dance music infused with electronic beats and bleeps, funky bass lines and epic, rousing choruses. With a particular dislike of playing big venues they prefer small, late night gigs, encouraging a houseparty atmosphere. Admitting themselves that making the same kind of music gets boring, The Sunshine Underground have a different offering in every track and, in their own words are '...four lads writing music because they want to and playing it to other people because they want to hear it'.

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.

Red Light Company

Red Light Company

Red Light Company were created by vocalist and guitarist Richard Frenneaux. Following a childhood that saw him move from London to Australia to Aberdeen to New Zealand before finally settling back in the UK as a teenager, Richard developed an intense interest in pop culture. Drawing on the international experiences and his love of David Bowie, The Clash and high fashion, Richard determined to create a band that aspired to grandeur and expressed a belief in high art as a populist force, disillusioned by the prevailing culture of ordinariness he found amongst the popular bands on his return to the country of his birth. 'Red Light Company storm into contention with an Arcade Fire-like blast of intense emotion.' - The Sunday Times. 'Britain's premiere new exponents of elegiac pop-metal.' - The Guardian.

Whiskycats

A five piece band from Manchester serving up a fun mix of funk, jazz, pop and latin music. 'That is by a country mile the best record I've heard in three months doing this show, just fantastic... Is that all we've got by them? Cos I want more'- Phil Jupitus.
