Archivist
There are two bands named Archivist. One [1] from Montreal (long live Marie-Joseph Angélique) and one [2] from Belgium (long live King Leopold III). (1) It has become a common place to credit the deathly cold of Montreal’s lengthy winter season for the hot-chronology of creative outpour that has entered the global music scene from Canada’s tiny heart-shaped island. Archivist’s debut release Learning to Live on Poison, does not present an exception to this particular rule, though it will inevitably be accused of challenging a great many others.

The Body Electric
Not this Body Electric. The Body Electric's first show, in December 2005, featured, in part, two drummers, a rhodes keyboard, a Spanish guitar, a mandolin, a violin, a banjo, a melodica and a glockenspiel. This seemingly unlikely combination of sounds was harnessed into a powerful pop performance that foreshadowed what the ever-evolving collective had in store.
The band was originally conceived as a full power space rock outfit and inadvertent tribute to Issac Asimov by singer/guitarist Sam Cooper (formerly of local act Francophone) in summer 2005.

Circle Takes the Square
Circle Takes the Square (often abbreviated CTTS) is a band from Savannah, Georgia, USA. The band formed in 2001 as a four-piece and after their first two releases they lost a guitarist but gained another in late 2004. What listeners tend to notice first about the band is the loud screaming of both male and female vocals that often function in a kind of call and response. Skillful, chaotic drumming coupled with intense, highly technical bass/guitar work have served to separate the band from most others in the screamo genre.

Smallwhitelight
Just another band from the UK? Have a listen, there may be more to this lot than you think. 'Their epic, psychedelic indie-rock suits a bigger stage, and all in black before a sequence of film projections they effortlessly convey the sense of an Event. Shades of Radiohead, electric Dylan and a skinny English Queens of the Stone Age converge, but the light shines through.' - The Fly Magazine

hunz
Hunz is a three-piece electronic pop band, spearheaded by Brisbane-based electronic musician and producer, Hans Van Vliet. With a background in music programming and motion design, Hans pulls his notes out of a binary soup of ones and zeroes, hand-crafting synth patches and beats from scratch. The result is a mix of pulsating, glitchy electronics and ethereal vocals that hint at the sinister, but succumb to the pleasure of pop hooks instead.
