Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (formerly punctuated Godspeed You Black Emperor! and abbreviated to GY!BE, GYBE, or just Godspeed) are a Canadian band based in Montreal, Quebec. Formed in 1994 in Montreal, Canada, the band has been highly influential within the post-rock genre. Working with orchestrated arrangements, the nine-piece group created tracks with wide dynamic ranges, a highly evocative use of instrumentation and sounds and uncompromising long form compositions. Their engrossing use of art and visuals in both album packaging and live performances creates an enigmatic aura.

The Bon Scotts

Melbourne septet The Bon Scotts are not an AC/DC covers band but a bittersweet mix of playful melodies, arresting percussion and sing-along choruses. The Bon Scotts defy notions of plain and normal, melding traditional folk instruments with an endearing and satirical voice. Laced with irony and hype, their unconventional hooks and distinct sound have put them at the forefront of the new folk revival.

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.
