Aural Window

Hailing from Melbourne Australia, Aural Window has been steadily building a loyal army of fans. The band came together as five musicians who wanted to write music that is heavy and emotional, yet melodic and memorable. Aural Window’s influences stretch from classics like Guns N’ Roses and The Beatles to post-hardcore bands like Saosin and Secret and Whisper. The band released their sophomore EP, Cocoon and Epitropos, in 2010, receiving much acclaim for their patented blend of melodic furor within a post-hardcore dynamic.

Nick Moss

Chicago blues is now synonymous with guitarist Nick Moss. Though the golden era of Chicago blues is long past with many of its key players deceased or retired, this young Chicagoan stands tallest in the current generation of blues performers that honor the letter and spirit of the great urban African-American music.

Strangers Family Band

Formed in Orlando, FL in the summer of 2007, Strangers Family Band—a five-piece consisting of members in their early twenties—gained recognition and a following from their intense live shows and unique take on psychedelia. The experience transports the listener from ominous vaudevillian progressions ('Beware The Autumn People') to ukulele strummed pop a'la Sgt. Pepper ('No One Sees Her') to North Indian raga-influenced drone ('Strange Transmission') like an uninterrupted stream of consciousness.

boolfight

Native from France, Boolfight is an alternative rock trio that took advantage of a few years spent in California to mix various influences and create a truly personal sound that is at the same time not scared of being pop. In 2004, the band thus recorded a self-titled EP in San Francisco - some demos had made it to the ears of producers Steve Bradley (No Doubt) and Dave Tweedie of Chocolate O'Brian, who recognized a strong potential.

Palmstruck

As an ambitious band mixing accessible songs with elements of experimental soundscapes, the result is “pretty much unrelated to anything else going on in Manchester” (Cath Aubergine, manchestermusic.co.uk). Founding members Rigg (vox/guitars/piano), Kip (synths/programming) and Al (drums & percussion) along with Mark (guitars/noise) and Jimi (bass) have sculpted the band’s current, and most impressive, form.

Stone Parade

The voicemail is simple "Just past the laundromat then turn left, you'll hear us when you get there". Alex is a man of few words. Inside a poorly lit factory, behind walls of guitars, old paintings and broken amps I find drummer Billy Handley hanging out his washing and cleaning up dirty dishes which have been left on the sink against his wishes. He's not a happy camper as his sign above the sink clearly states "Wash up your own stuff morons!" You see...
