The Pinecone Kids were born this year and with downs syndrome. As a result they go around asking people if they would like to buy pinecones. Straight outta east London gutters they play gritty grungey noisy madness, but also soft soothing sonnets of ambience. Essentially, the Pinecone Kids are a clan, a consortium, and they will infect you with their Pinecone insanity. The Pinecone Kids on Soundcloud

The Psyche Out Musikland Big Band is a 7-piece rock band, originally from High Wycombe, with members now also resident in Portsmouth and Leicester. In an age where the word 'eclectic' is a by-word for journalistic laziness, TPOMBB creates a genuinely unusual form of music, seamlessly shifting from foreboding post-rock into euphoric instrumental highs and occasional outbursts of hardcore punk. The result is often quite emotionally moving.
