FRIENDO

It would be great to breeze through life in the way Friendo's music does. Effortless charm rings out from softly chanted vocals, calmly thudding drums and shimmering guitar work. All is not so calm however, their style shifts into more restless territory sometimes. Still keeping in the same minimalist rock area however. This two dude, one girl trio hail from Canada and you will feel like Friendo are your friend, before you've even met them. All you need is the warm embrace of songs like "Callers" and the upbeat "Young Fellows" from their myspace page. They are a great new band! Get with it!

FAIR OHS

When i first started listening to Fair Ohs they made a right old racket. Their songs where pumped up garage punk that hardly lasted 30 seconds sometimes. Ive got their first tape EP to prove it! But you wouldnt believe me at all these days, they now play ultra catchy, dare i say it, pop punk (in the way that it doesnt conform but still sounds pleasing). The guitars sound really surfy with the addition of punchy drums and the vocals have really mellowed out to give way to some killer hooks and chilled out lyrics. So, it seems Fair Ohs have come along way, but i still love the old stuff just as much as the new and i know you do to. Its nice to have a variety within a band, it shows a good deal of talent. Its guitar pop, dear friends, as we all like it! "Fair enough" i hear you say!

TEENGIRL FANTASY

Teengirl Fantasy are a wet dream for anyone who enjoy insanely blissed out electronica combined with insane techno. They are nutz!! Its almost strange to think they make some of their music with electronic equipment, its in no way your average bleep scape or 8-bit jitter fest. It sounds like distorted waves crashing on a beach where the sand is made up of shredded 90s dance records. The kids are calling it Glo-Fi or something, but make your own mind up about it, check it out right now!

WOODS

This is one of my favourite bands in the whole wide woods of the world. I find their style quite refreshing. His voice is pretty original too, it stands out like a high pitched magical man! They make the kind of care free folky pop that can induce the urge to take clothes off and dance in the sunshine. They really have got something good going on! Fed up with gloom ridden music? Get some Woods down you! The doctors orders!

OLD BLOOD

Old Blood make that dirty kind of rock and roll that makes your cat want to run away. they got the punk sneer, they got the persistently punching drums and of course the distorted guitar that rocks out real hard! they dont need hi-fi, they are lo-fi din makers and its guaranteed to make you feel all rebellious just listening to them. This bunch hail from California so get what you can of them from their myspace. like a stain of old blood on clothes, they will leave a punk rock impression on your musical t-shirt.
