Sensible Sam & Japan

Sensible Sam & Japan are a 5-piece band based in London. Their indie-pop takes inspiration from Bowie to Magnetic Fields via Talking Heads. They combine guitars and keys with uke, mandolin, synths and melodica to create music that would blind a deaf man. The boys have known each other for so long they sometimes claim to have invented pop music. But as they were born in the 80’s it is more likely that they were conceived by it.

The Yearlings

Roots/alt. country duo The Yearlings combine warm harmonies with delicate flat-picking and sparse country blues to create songs that are at once haunting and soothing. Hailing from Adelaide, The Yearlings have pushed new limits in Australia's Roots/Alt. country scene. Robyn Chalklen and Chris Parkinson have wasted no time in getting down to the business of making music since meeting at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in 2000. Their successful self-titled debut album (released on Reckless Records in 2003) was recorded live in 8 hours and long-listed for an ARIA nomination.

Hazmat Modine

One of New York’s most original bands, HAZMAT MODINE delivers a rustic, deliriously Dionysian blend of whorehouse Blues, Reggae, Klezmer, Country and Gypsy-tinged music. The band features the dueling harmonicas of front-man Wade Schuman and his sparring partner Randy Weinstein, funky tuba powerhouse Joseph Daly, virtuoso guitarists Bob Jay, Jon Sholle, and Dan Hovey, and drummer Scott Veenstra. HAZMAT holds down a smoldering groove behind Schuman’s raspy, bluesy voice and passionately energetic stage presence.

Greg Holden

Being in the right place at the right time is possibly one of the most important things to remember in the world we live in today. Building your own success is essential but most people who succeed nowadays have at some point in their life experienced a certain element of luck to give them the kick start they need and deserve. Greg Holden is no exception. Having only begun his solo journey in June 2007, he has had his fair share of luck to help him along the way.

AR

There are at least two bands or artists under this name: 1) An English Metal Band (also shown as -AR-)

1) -AR- (www.myspace.com/arworld)
Fashioned by the unremitting horror that pervades Cambridge and the surrounding areas AR is a four piece Metal band that brooks no compromise. Heavy, loud and ironclad they have been under a self-imposed confinement for two years, during which time they have been grinding fragmentary lyrics and shattered riffs into a taught, dynamic set.
