Iggy and the Stooges

Really no different than The Stooges, but the artist name changed to Iggy and the Stooges (to make frontman Iggy Pop's name more conspicuous as he was clearly the most recognizable name in the band) for the 1973 album Raw Power and the live document of songs culled from two shows (including their final live performance in their original incarnation in February 1974) called Metallic K.O. Otherwise, see the biography for The Stooges for more information on the band.

The Strange Boys

Playing 1960s Nuggets that belie their age, the Strange Boys quickly inserted themselves in Austin’s garage rock and pop revival of the mid millennium alongside bands like The Black and The Ugly Beats. Beginning as a duo in 2001, the Dallas group congealed into its current quartet of brothers Ryan and Philip Sambol alongside Matt Hammer and Greg Enlow in 2004. The following year brought the release of their appropriately titled debut EP, States Newest Noise Makers, Ryan’s slurred, slacker vocals texturing their classic riffs and rhythms.

The Perils

The Perils In these troubled times of economic recession and downturn – like Batman and The Boy Wonder – this hi-octane Brighton 4 piece, known as The Perils, have come to our rescue and provided the perfect antidote. Their first feat of heroism comes in the shape of their debut single “Be Your Peril” to be released March 11th. Already gaining the attention from the likes of BBC 6music’s Tom Robinson, the single creates the perfect platform for the band’s forthcoming album of hook laden rock: “Good People Do Bad Things”, out April 13th on Militant Entertainment.

The Villagers

The villagers are a singer-songwriter duo (of which, by the way, you almost always only see one member so that's a bit vague) whose music is mostly about love, but in a fairly non-cheesy focussed way.
Although they already have released several records - both on vinyl and cd's - so far their songs remain non-officially "published", hence they don't have any videoclips or anything.
