INNERCITY PIRATES
http://myspace.com/innercitypirates
"Speed Garage Indie... This band writes music that is equal parts spit and polish. Songs to scream to, songs to dance to, songs to cry to: they got 'em all, and a distinctive and instantly recognisable voice at the front..." - NME
Already Zane Lowe favourites, indie-dance Pirates share a single release this month with Lesser Panda. 'Ear Sex', from the single, rocks with a hard take on pop - a more garage-rock/pop take on New York's punk-funk grooves, spilling over with jingles, jangles, dance beats, synth growls and stomping stamping riffs whilst 'Discussion', is their more laid back effort, recalling The Sundays or The Concretes... - Artrocker
PAUL HAWKINS + THEE AWKWARD SILENCES
http://myspace.com/theeawkwardsilences
"Choppy organs pump whilst guitars scream and bleed over the near-spoken word vocals, intensely building with an attitude that's not a million miles from Nick Lowe's roots…" - Subba-Cultcha
"Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences are one of the highlights of the emerging UK anti-folk scene taking the classic vocal narrative and loops, combined with grunge guitars and shuddering drums to create a powerful story" - Student Radio Association
PANIC ATTRACT

"Like a hip-hop Sparklehorse" - WTNRradio.com
"a singular strand of music" - Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music
"an artist who you hear and immediately can see doing big things. The production is tight and stays interesting, and so do the words" - Beeb Blog
