Bad Wolf: So many other bands scamper around their genres like little lost puppies, Bad Wolf mean
business; they let rip and take you on a rocket trip with a full-throttle howl at the moon! "When they turn
berserker, they sound like Matt Bellamy chained to a monster truck being dragged around a derby" (NME)
http://badwolfband.net @UKBadWolf New single, 'Too Much Too Young' http://youtu.be/FO_KPcuPlRY deserves to be massive.

Billy Bones; "If The Pogues and Gogol Bordello had dirty rough sex with Arcade Fire in the toilet of a dry
docked old sailing ship themed pub and the filthy sprogs that popped out 9 months on were hand reared
by The Clash and Hunter S Thompson, in a shit caravan decorated inside by Tim Burton parked on some
wasteground upstairs in the Hawley Arms, and.... those sprogs grew up into a band, the chances are that
the band would be named Billy Bones" http://billybonesband.com

Symphonic Pictures: A colourful mix of slow burning electronica, recalling Stereolab or Gruff Ryhs at their
most hypnotic. The band list a spectrum of influences including experimental, pop, shoegaze, avant garde,
art rock and new wave. This leftfield mix forgets their place in psychedelic space while engaging melody
and structure. http://symphonicpictures.com * http://.facebook.com/symphonicpictures

The Last Of The Troubadours; An ambitious South London quartet loaded with tunes, swagger and edge.
With a debut EP 'Sooner The Better' claiming cool feedback from luminaries like Edwyn Collins and early
attention in all the right places, this sharp dressed and mod possessed outfit could be your new heroes.

Within weeks of forming, Blue Lip Feel recorded their 6-track EP 'Shallow Getaway', showcasing their
distinctive, crunching sound. It's 2011 release led to slots with national media darlings like Tribes, Kassidy
and Various Cruelties. They then returned to the studio and refined their style further through 'Glitterbox
EP' (March 2012). Outspoken, brash and confident, Blue Lip Feel see themselves as the antidote to the
safe and mundane landfill littering our music scene. "This, my friends is one band to watch out for, as they
rapidly accelerate up from the underground into the music ether." (WhatCulture)

The Rimes: "Not genre fuelled, but music driven.' This pride of the Midlands outfit are on the rise
courtesy of their Sixties tinged power pop and fervent fan base packing out venues and creating an early
buzz. http://therimes.co.uk
