MITTENS (Boston, MA)
Breezy hooks and crisp vocal harmonies inside the kind of melodic jangle that rides on a generational crosscurrent of the Kinks, Jonathan Richman, Papas Fritas, and Brendan Benson.
'Vintage pop… catchy rhythms, handclaps, and sickeningly memorable melodies' (Red Blondehead)

KOWALSKI (Bangor, Co Down)
...is collectively 73 years old, approximately 66 metres of cable,1 bass,1 keyboard,2 guitars,a drum kit and four members who go by the names; Louis, Tom, Paddy and Daniel.
They're one of the brightest young things to emerge out of Ireland in the past year and manage to create marvellously dynamic tunes that the likes of Modest Mouse, Death Cab etc wouldn't be ashamed of.
