Spaceheads

UK duo Spaceheads have released 7 albums on such labels as Merge, BiP_HOp, Pandemonium Rdz. Andy Diagram (trumpet) and Richard Harrison (drums), take their unique sound, based on live trumpet loops, drums and electronics, to greater sonic extremes.
Lazy grooves and thick harmonised trumpet chords; sleazy deep beat brass and crushed up metallic drumbeats. Spaceheads mix the raw emotional sound of breath with the banging of wood on skin, and push it through the blips, crackle and distortion of pixelated electronic noise.

Portman

There are at least two artists named Portman: 1. Portman grew out of the ashes of pop punk band Dutch*Oven from Stamford, UK in February '04. In the two years since then playing gigs here and there up and down the county has developed the band, and with this the bands sound has grown and matured into a sort of piano driven melodic pop rock. With souring harmonies, and sprinkling tinkling guitars. Often compared to the likes of Copeland and Something Corporate.

Oh No Ono

Oh No Ono is an experimental pop quintet from the tiny Danish town of Aalborg. Their music, intricate and otherworldly, defies conventions and expectations (and sometimes gravity). The ten dense, hypertextured sour-sweet-sad opuses found on their US debut album, Eggs, are truly breathtaking to behold; the band creates bewitching pop symphonies that unfold themselves more with each successive listen.
