kids in cars

http://www.myspace.com/thekidsincars Kids in Cars hail from the quaint Shire of Leicester, England.
Having taken time to define their sound since the dew fall of spring 07, seeing if it fits, like a nice cloth cap, or toasty warm beanie. Kids believe they have now found 'that' sound. A combination of breakbeat, pop punk and garage indie neatly entwined as one. Kids in Cars are Dom Jewitt, Laura Wykes, Jon Freeman and James Stafford ..."we don't know where we're going...we can't see our the car" Kids 07

BronzeAge

BronzeAge are a Leicester, UK based 4 piece consisting of ex-members of Alt-punk band Public Relations Exercise. After P.R.E's demise the members spent their time licking wounds and getting on with being grown ups. However, the appeal of traveling miles for little money or thanks became too much and in 2009, BronzeAge was formed. The band’s sound is a distinct departure from their previous output; combining epic sound-scapes with angular indie riffs and dual vocal interplay. Early demos have now been recorded by Field Records owner and producer Tim Waterfield.

Grace Petrie

Grace Petrie comes from Leicester in the East Midlands, but can often be found further afield, particularly, recently, around the Nether Edge area of Sheffield. She writes indie folk rock songs (a couple with an acoustic punk twist), plays the guitar and sings with a voice that has been described by listeners as similar to Laura Marling, Kate Nash and nothing you’ve ever heard before. From the humble beginnings of small gigs in her hometown in 2006 and a home-recorded debut album, Grace quickly acquired a reputation as one of the best artists on the flourishing Leicester music scene...
