Sideways Glance

'Sideways Glance is a 5 piece indie/pop band hailing from Worcester, England. Singer Paul got together with Mark and started writing songs together back in college days, this soon progressed into wanting a full band and, with a few line up changes, evolved into the perfect blend of musicians they are today. Paul's intelligent and often humourous lyrics, Matt’s unmistakable catchy riffs, soul inspired bass work from Winston, Marks acoustic rhythm guitar and Andy tieing it all in on the drums produces music of rare quality and originality.

Pocket Venus

Pocket Venus are a rock band from Conwy in North Wales. The band's sound has been difficult to pigeonhole as they have such a diverse range of sounds, however, many critics have compared the group to classic rock bands such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin for the progressive rock dynamics and comparisons of the precise orchestration and song writing techniques of bands like The Verve and Spiritualized were also abundant in reviews.

Menswear

Menswe@r were a short-lived Britpop band in the mid 1990s from Camden in London. They signed their record deal after their fifth gig, appearing on the cover of Melody Maker (in an article about Camden club night Blow Up) before they had recorded a note. They were featured in a Select article about the mod revival when the project was still purely in the imaginations of Chris Gentry and Johnny Dean. Their dress sense was Mod (tight fitting suits etc) whilst their music was influenced by both Blur's second album Modern Life Is Rubbish and Elastica.
