Karl Phillips & The Midnight Ramblers

When is a band not a band? Perhaps when it's made up of disparate members whose combined musical heritage touches on orchestral, jazz, ska and, er, grime. With so many influences, and a frontman who "was never really into music" it's any wonder the four-piece ever got together. But here they stand ready to reveal the ingredients in their melting pot of ideas. Moving outside the M25 to Wellingborough may not sound like the first step on the MC career ladder.

Ocean Colour Scene

Falling between the energetic pop/rock of mod revival and the psychedelic experimentations of Traffic, Ocean Colour Scene came to be one of the leading bands of the traditionalist, post- Britpop of the mid-'90s. Although they had formed in in the late '80s and had several hits during the height of Madchester in the early '90s, the band didn't earn a large following until 1996, when their second album, Moseley Shoals, became a multi-platinum success story in the U.K.
