Rescued By Wolves

Rescued by Wolves are the death throes of melodic guitar music. Their sound can best be described as a mixture of Post-Punk's hard edge and urgency with the lulling melodies of mid-90's shoegaze/dreampop. Brothers Loz and Joe plus longtime friends Andy and KK come from completely different musical camps, but the same musical city. Their shared vision of forming a stripped-down, stark and visceral rock band has been realised and their different influences have collided with a deranged kind of success.

Billy No Fear

Billy No Fear was formed in early 2009, originally calling themselves Coat & Curtains. After being sued by a haberdashery in Norwich, the band were forced to change their name. The trio consists of Philip Elbourne, Jo Marsh and Emily-Ruth Warren, French students at the University of Chester, who since graduating have moved in together and adopted a pet goat (Billy). Their genre of music has been defined as "Folk Abba", but they deny this, preferring to describe their style as 'Kinetic Folk' because of their cheeky dance routines and hypnotising hand movements.

At the age of eleven I borrowed a beaten-up guitar from a friends dad and my cousin Mark O’Toole, later of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, taught me my first chords and I was hooked.

Sal is the new Welsh band phenomenon – simple as that. A four-piece rock/punk outfit, they kick out with energetic, emotional and incredibly catchy songs that still retain a keen edge. The songs look at life, the words deal in dreams, and the music makes you care and not care, all at the same time. Sal have worked extensively with producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, INME) to create a fresh, punky...
