Higher Frequency is a North London based band mixing elements of electronic music, disco house and funk with traditional songwriting, edgy guitars and captivating melodies. Bored with the typical power-trio rock cliche and determined not to be yet another indie/dance guitar band, they aim at producing music that can make people move but at the same time be very expressive. www.myspace.com/higher.frequency

Talkshow Boy

Talkshow Boy describes his music as "Hyperactive Glitch Pop", and you couldn't think of a better name for it. Listening to one of his albums is like watching a bunch of rats on speed eat their way through a wall of fairy floss, or riding on the back of a killer whale 2,000 feet below the surface. The only thing surpassing his recordings in sheer energy levels are his live performances, in which he walks about the entire venue interacting with the audience, when he's not rolling around on the floor or dancing like a madman.

Pulse

There are multiple groups going by the name of "Pulse". 1."From New Haven, Connecticut, The Pulse evolved out of The Bram Rigg Set and The Shags, and were originally known as The Pulse Of Burritt Bradley. The track, Burritt Bradley, is a surreal slice of psychedelic madness, which can also be found on the Beyond The Calico Wall (LP & CD) compilation. By contrast, their album is a furious heavy rock affair and rated highly by some collectors. Tommy Violante left in 1969, although the band soldiered on until '72, playing mostly rehashed Cream-type stuff."
