Sounds XP vs Lost Music
Two webzines battle for musical supremacy! Spin it on....

THE SEQUINS (Coventry)
..have produced two wonderful heartfelt pop singles in the shape of Nobody Dreams About Me and Patients. Think Orange Juice, The Smiths and The Wedding Present and you are halfway there! This will be the band's London launch for their debut long player, The Death Of Style and sees a welcome return to the capital for the band.
this is immutable yet frail pop that makes my heart beat faster and faster - Drowned In Sound

THE LAUREL COLLECTIVE (London)
Hailing from Scotland, England, Wales, Nigeria and Italy, The Laurel Collective are 7 genre trashing indie pop mavericks who play a simmering stew of musical influences. Formed from the ashes of two very different bands,their sound is united by the contrasting soul of singers Martin Sakutu and the heart on sleeve indie pop of Bob Tollast. Their passion for new sounds, from samba punk to indie southern rock is all underpinned by classic good old fashioned melody.

MY SAD CAPTAINS (London)
Recent signings to Fortuna Pop!, My Sad Captains released their debut single Bad Decisions to much acclaim. Sounds XP wrote that it was the 'sound of a perfect summer, all hooks, harmonies and handclaps.'
'simply sublime...american rock, touched with country lashes and occasional fiery noise outbursts. All this is backed up with brilliant songs too.' - Let's Go Baboon.

INTERNATIONAL JETSETTERS (Oxford)
Featuring an ex member of Ride and one member of the currently reformed Jesus and Mary Chain line-up the International Jetsetters take no prisoners with their blend of shoegazing, dream pop and hints of the psychedelic sound once possessed by the likes of My Bloody Valentine and Spacemen Three.
'hark, wonderfully, back to that late-80s halcyon period of shimmering shoe-gazing noise and searing narcotic
drone-pop, pretty, honey-dipped 60s melodies drenched in oceanic swells of guitar noise...' - Oxfordbands.com
