The Lost Levels

The Lost Levels are a 4 piece Indie band from Norwich, Norfolk, in England. They play an Electro Pop style and are known for their 'Nintendo' or 'gaming' styled tunes. They released their self entitled EP in 2006 and their new single "Never The First" is due to be released later this year. The Lost Levels have been described as the following; “Imagine plugging proper, classic British pop into your old Gameboy and injecting it with the music from Super Mario Brothers. Then think of something even better; you're about half way there”

Duologue

DUOLOGUE are a London based band that combine live instruments with electronics. Their live show fuses vocals, guitars, keyboards, violins and a laptop to create an intense and unique performance. They began as a two-piece, writing songs and developing their sound before finding like-minded musicians to take this idea to the stage and now perform a set where everything, including the electronics is done live.

Bottomless Pit

Bottomless Pit was formed in the fall of 2005 by erstwhile Silkworm members Tim Midgett and Andy Cohen. Their longtime friends Chris Manfrin (Seam) and Brian Orchard (.22) complete the quartet. 2007 finds the group playing "their blues" - soulful, emotionally intense, and often transcendent postpunk that is as inviting as it is bracing. "Hammer of the Gods" is the first Bottomless Pit album. It is the first release from New Jersey's Comedy Minus One records. It was released November 6, 2007.
