The Finnlys

The Finnlys are a four piece band from the massive city of Leeds. They write songs that are so close to the heart, yet a million miles away from the truth. Songs that can lead you step by step through growing up if you will, just take the time to listen.
The bands live shows are where they excell most. Bringing in fans old and new to some of the best venues around. The Finnlys with their laddish mentality and boyish charm are fast becoming a band people want to see... and more importantly hear, listening to a sound that defines youth and love for every moment.

Drowners

Hometown: New York. Band lineup: Matt Hitt (vocals, guitar), Jack Ridley (guitar), Erik Snyder (bass), and David Rubin (drums). We can't tell yet if Drowners are a typical New York band or a typical London one. They're said by some to be part of the ongoing Britpop renaissance (Blur and Pulp reforming, new bands like Blackeye forming), but really they have more in common with the early-noughties CBGBs revival.

Jookabox

Jookabox, the name of Indianapolis native David "Moose" Adamson's musical project, presents the result of an evolution from his former collaboration: "Grampall Jookabox." When David was in grade school, his uncle took note of his developing interest in hip-hop and loaned him a four-track. They mixed tracks together and the young Adamson would write rhymes to sing over them, including a double-boombox sequel to Fu-Schnicken's "What's Up Doc (Can We Rock?)" called "Sufferin' Succotash (I Got Whiplash)" At first the beats came from instrumental sides of cassette singles...
