CANNONBALL JANE ( New York, NY)

A mind-bendingly brilliant mix of hip-hop samples and 60s girl grouppop, like a one woman Go! Team or a sassier Saint Etienne. 'Cannonball Jane has grabbed greedy fistfuls of pop history; Girl group pop, buzzing garage, Motown, doo-wop, freak-beat, hip-hop, drum and bass and smooshed them together with generous helpings of wit and charm.' – Kittenpainting

THE CHEMISTRY EXPERIMENT ( Nottingham)

With two albums to their name, this East Midlands quintet's music encompasses genres as diverse as prog-rock, folktronica and disco
against a backdrop of lush, orchestral pop and a pinch of Pulp’s
northern glamour.

'Strange, gargantuan rhythms, weird instrumentation and a singer who sounds like Kurt Wagner trapped beneath two feet of snow... as beautiful and crazy as The Arcade Fire' (NME)

FINLAY ( London)

East End noiseniks inspired by Eric's Trip, Silver Jews, Sonic Youth, Pavement and Pixies, mixing skewed alt.rock with achingly melodic lo-fimeanderings.

'Devotees of that knife-edge strip between madness and genius should turn their attention here' (NME)

THE GRESHAM FLYERS ( London)

A sextet who are the hybrid of their diverse geographical backgrounds (north, midlands, south and Slough) and the best bits of your record collection, all sprinkled with a little sugar - David Gedge fronting an unruly combination of Sparks and Pulp. Classy, energetic pop, boy/ girl singers, handclaps, and hooks you can hang your duffel coat on.

SILVER SPRINGS (London)

Beautifully played avant-noise Americana with a Galaxie 500
influence, featuring Amos and Katie from Tompaulin.
"A spot on take on the melancholy beauty previously modelled by The
Silver Jews and Palace" (Crud)

THE LOVES ( Cardiff)

Mixing pop psychedelia and C86 indie with a dash of Jack Daniels and beatnik cool.

'A wide-eyed retro-chic indie-pop sextet that sound like Belle and Sebastian playing at being The Stooges.' – NME

FANFARLO ( London)

Fragile, romantic orchestral pop.in thrall to Sufjan Stevens, Olivia Tremor Control and Arcade Fire.

'Like a more scaled-down, vulnerable Arcade Fire, and with achingly mournful vocals... each track a mini-symphony.' (Tasty)
