Acoustic Ladyland
“Acoustic Ladyland return with a ferocious, slash-and-burn, minimalist sound that already makes this a contender for alt. jazz album of the year.”
***** TIME OUT
Andrea Kenny and the Cavalry
Arcady Bliss
In a world where the airwaves, TV and computer screens are crammed with glitzy, vacuous faux-pop Arcady Bliss offers the alternative of hand-crafted songs with heart and soul.

Their infectious rhythms and grooves paired with great brass and vocals bring the feel of summer almost within grasp." - Digitalgig.co.uk
Becky Falls
Bull See Red
"By far one of the best recent punk albums released"
SubbaCultcha
Cue Fanfare
A heady mix of intricately woven chiming guitars, English-rose vocals and songs which explore yearning, loss, and strange mythical beasts.
Dawn Chorus Ignites
"Expansive, deep and really quite beautiful tracks that pay homage to the likes of Slowdive and MBV, without every relying on their influence too much. Distant Noise goes from strength to strength." EP review Small Fish Records
Doll and the Kicks
"Doll & The Kicks pull off some damn hard sugary rock that scratches like it's the biggest bitch in the playground."
THE SOURCE

Flash Bang Band
"Flash Bang Band sound like a grittier supertramp. Out of time and out of place. I Like!" Subba-Cultcha
The Jawbone Band
"biting lyrics as sharp as the solo-ing that leaves the audience cheering into their plastic cups, wondering how such magic can be made on a Monday evening. They really were that good." Water Rats review
Josie and the Love Cats
“This band has admirable songcraft … Bursting with boho idiosynchrasies … fronted by a keyboard straddling neo-diva.” (24/7 Magazine)
Julia Biel
'her mesmerizing voice and magnetic stage presence should encourage many to follow where she leads... about to hit the big time' THE GUARDIAN

Super talented multi instrumentalist. She likes to make music with a BOSS RC-50 loop pedal and very high heels.
She's also just recorded guest vocals on the new King Blues album Save The World, Get The Girl
Klay
They play with their influences very clearly displayed, like the angular guitars and jerky rhythms of Biffy Clyro and the epic, sweeping quality of Explosions in the Sky... Excellent, angular British alt-rock debut. 4/5 Subba -Cultcha
Le Chat Noir
"...she pounds harder and faster than any female drummer I've ever seen. Think The Kills, The Ravonettes and every other male/female two-piece and double the 'f*** me' ratio... drumsticks flew, Teddys blood was spilt, guitars were thrown and even trousers were split in the best example of dirty garage blues rock'n'roll I've seen in a long time! Moles Club live review
Lucy Ward
Finalist in the BBC Young Folk Musician Awards 2009. "Lucy Ward is set to be one of the great song interpreters of the new generation of folk artists”
Maybe Myrtle Tyrtle
"Their aural sunshine mixes bluesy rockabilly with skiffle interludes and filters it through a
feelgood fairground sound in a woozy triumph. Intoxicating." The Crack
Melosa
Footstomping crowd pleasers. Skanking reggae ska grooves = Happy smiley people!
New Rising
"Jay Carter stands head and shoulders above so many of the singer-songwriters working the circuit. His effortless groove and red wine vocals never cease to delight."
(Guitarist magazine)
Papaphone
"Diverse sound and evolved a rampart of different emotions, which makes it beautiful, creative and amazing." Space Junkies Magazine
Paul Besselle and Slipdown Dog
“The Beauty of Neil Young, The Angst of Nine Inch Nails, The Poetic Vigour of Bob Dylan... Awesom, I was hangin on his every word" Simon Dobson, European Composer of the Year

This is not nu jazz, acid jazz, Jamie jazz, Parky jazz, Brit jazz, beardo jazz,post-jazz or twee jazz. It's dream jazz." Paul Morley, Observer Music Monthly

The Thujones
Trouble and Mischief
T-Toe

On one hand its funny ‘cos it’s a trombone,
on the other hand, ‘cos it’s a trombone its actually pretty serious."
Spirit of Gravity, Brighton
Victoria Hume
Nothing short of sublime (The Troubadour)
Vid Warren
"Effortlessly brilliant. Frankly extraordinary."
