The Coral

The Coral are a British band formed in 1996 from Meols on the Wirral (near Liverpool) that play an unusual style of music mixing psychedelic pop/rock, old fashioned country, folk music and modern rock. Their music is often used in the soundtrack to TV adverts and programmes making their music well known even though the band itself is still outside of the mainstream. Although they have a fan base in the North American market, and a rather large following in their home country, they have yet to achieve a mainstream audience.

Kotki Dwa

Kotki Dwa are a three-piece band hailing from the green pastures of Milton Keynes and Aylesbury, in England consisting of Alex Ostrowski, his younger brother Tristan and Tom Walker. They write and play pretty little songs that make the hair tingle. The sound they create is akin to a man and his robot playing a loving trio with a jukebox. In 2005 they released their debut album "Nostonesthrow" and their "Youwantfromsky" EP.

The Hours

There are many places this biography of The Hours could begin. It could begin in Sheffield, England at the tail end of punk, where a ten-year old Antony Genn is standing at the stage door of The Top Rank waiting for The Clash to turn up so he can grab Joe Strummer's autograph. Then again, it could begin over a decade later as the same Antony Genn settles into a swivel chair and clocks in for his first day producing Joe Strummer's solo album.

Millions

There are there at least two bands using this name: 1) The experimental / drone project of David Suss, from NYC. 2) The Chicago noise rock band. Millions guitarists Scott Flaster and Corey Lyons are quarreling musical twins whose differences set the tension on which Millions' sound is based. Flaster and Lyons' dueling guitars create a codependent relationship of angst and grandeur - the neurotic impatience of Black Flag scraping up against the anthemic melodies of King Crimson. Driven by this tension, the sound of Millions is that of vicious mood swings. On Gather Scatter,

Hot Panda

Formed in January 2006, Hot Panda hails from Edmonton, Canada, and was formed after Chris Connelly and Maghan Campbell returned from living abroad in Oslo, Norway. Invigorated by the Scandinavian music scene, the two snatched up Mike Robertson and Keith Olsen and started producing their rowdy mash-up between the UK's pop-loving supergrass, the rawness of Iggy Pop, and the gritty danciness of Ukraine's Gogol Bordello.
