Fields

There are at least 5 bands named Fields: 1) Fields were an Anglo-Icelandic electronic/indie band formed in London comprising Nick Peill (Vocals/Acoustic Guitar/Keyboards), Þórunn Antonía (Vocals/Keyboards/Synths), Henry Spenner (Vocals/Drums), Matty Derham (Bass Guitar) and Jamie Putnam (Electric Guitar). In early 2006 the band played their first live shows. This sparked a furious bidding war amongst UK record companies. They eventually signed a unique deal with Atlantic Records which allows them to keep releasing records through their own Black Lab Records set-up as well as Atlantic.

The Soundcarriers

The Soundcarriers were formed in Nottingham, where founder members Adam, Pish and Dorian have played together since childhood, switching instruments and roles and generally ignoring the conventions of what it means to be a band. Leonore completes the bands line-up adding subtle, gentle vocals and harmonies. The debut album from this Nottingham-based band is psychedelic in the less well-trodden way: jazz-influenced, free-thinking and utterly spaced out.

Team Turnip

Team Turnip is a musical endeavour based in Edinburgh. Its MO is simple: to create highly melodic songs, peppered with harmonies and saddled with caustic, bittersweet lyrics. Team Turnip has coined the phrase "sour-pop" to assist in the description of its output. More specifically it is a mix of indie-pop with elements of folk and chamber pop. The instruments used vary wildly and nothing is considered unusable. TT hopes you all enjoy.

The Notes

The Notes are based in Southampton at the moment, studying at separate universities, the subjects being Popular Music and Record Production, and English. The band wrote and recorded these songs very recently in their living room using a drum machine, two guitars (1 pitch shifted), a voice and a pen. Tumblr blogger yvynyl has this to say about The Notes: "Take The XX’s slow, dark n’ sexy, turn up the tempo a notch, but keeps the lights low and the candles burning and you have London’s brand new band The Notes.

Any Trouble

Any Trouble are a British rock band, originating from Crewe, England, best known for the early 1980s recordings. The band reformed in 2007. Any Trouble was an underappreciated bright spot on Stiff Records, a label which had no shortage of talented artists. Bandleader Clive Gregson's appearance, hardened love songs, and vocal style may have led to comparisons to Elvis Costello, but they were no second-rate rip-off -- each of their four albums revealed a songwriter of unique talent and a more-than-capable band to execute the songs.
