More Information

Delphic

Delphic

Possibly the most exciting new band to come out of Manchester, Delphic's sound straddles genres, flowing between the stadium britpop of Oasis and the electro-pop of New Order, with a taste of Klaxons - 'electronic music played with a full band setup', as they describe it. Driving, tumultuous and emotive, this is a new chapter in Manchester music.

Crystal Castles

Crystal Castles

Canadian electro from Toronto's boy-girl duo Crystal Castles, whose lo-fi approach to the genre makes their music both sweet and sincere whilst being every bit as punk as the rest. '...hit and run electropop, flailing, pulsing beeps smashed over an evil beat and driven onward by an incomprehensible shrieked vocal.' - Drowned In Sound.

Stunning electronica loaded with samples, glitches and effects by Michael Angelakos. His is without a doubt a sound to watch out for, and likely to provoke emotion upon intense emotion, from euphoria to joy to pain.

Broadway Calls

Since forming in the unlikely locale of Rainier, Oregon, four years ago this trio of childhood friends - singer Ty Vaughn, bassist Matt Koenig and drummer Josh Baird – have been touring constantly, and fine-tuning their unique blend of melodic pop-punk. Broadway Calls are influenced as much by classic punk acts like the Ramones and the Buzzcocks as they are by more modern acts such as Jawbreaker and Green Day.
