POLAR CAPS

Since only launching in the summer of 2011 Polar Caps has already made a visible impact on the underground scene, with the successful release of 'Solutions' mastered by Grammy award winner Matt Shane and the debut music video for 'Will You...' reaching over 10,000 views in the first few months alone. This has lead to ever growing popularity on music blogs and forums.

Recently gaining a clothing endorsement and sharing the stage with the likes of Example, The Cribs and DJ Fresh, it seems 2013 is set to be a memorable year for Polar Caps and anyone involved.


BEAR CAVALRY

Classically difficult to pigeonhole, this perfectly formed package, which acts as a taster to the debut album due summer 2013, combines all the intense anthemic musicality of Everything Everything, whilst still retaining the cheekily laid-back charms akin to Vampire Weekend…. Chuck in the odd Field Music-esque breakdown, fuzzing riffs and Foals-y phraseology of vocalist Louis Pinder, and you’ve got something pretty special - and an obvious progression on all that’s come before…

Previously championed by the likes of Rocksound who branded them ‘cheery summery math-rock akin to Foals and Tall Ships’, Edith Bowman and Steve Lamacq… Even Skrillex has got in on the act, loving their off-kilter cover of his hit ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’ so much that he used it to in his live sets. Meanwhile, Nick Grimshaw, Annie Mac, Kissy Sell Out, John Kennedy and Tom Robinson have all pledged their allegiance too – not bad for a band only a couple of years in the making.

THE DIVERS

"The London quartet’s chalky, easy-on-the-ears rock style recalls some of my teenage loves: Pearl Jam, Bush and, later, Matchbox 20. That’s not to say they’re simply a ’90s throwback, though – there’s plenty more to them than that" - Some Of It Was True

"Marking a return to the fundamentals of the great US guitar bands of the 90s and beyond – think Bush, Elliott Smith, Death Cab, perhaps a teensy weensy bit of Jeff Buckley..." - Killing Moon


BRIGHTLIGHT CITY

‘Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed'
C.S Lewis
