The Sheepdogs

This band won the contest to be the first unsigned artist to be featured on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine. From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo.

Mineral

"Mineral" could refer to at least four bands, an emo band from Houston, Texas, Armenian rock music veterans from Jermuk and another one from Boston. 1) Mineral formed in 1994 and like other young bands, they toured constantly, virtually living in their van. The band's first release, the 7 inch "Gloria"/"Parking Lot" 7", was released on Audio Concept by Kerry McDonald from Christie Front Drive (the record was later re-released by Caulfield Records). Through a few rabid fans, that 7" found its way into the hands of crank! and Mineral later decided to release their records on the label.

Morning Lane

Morning Lane is a 4 piece London-based rock band formed from a desire to write music with emotion and real substance that would stand out from the vacuous pop of many of their contemporaries. Far from 'every song sounding the same as the last one', Morning Lane's sound draws on influences as diverse as U2, Placebo, Incubus, Snow Patrol, and The Flaming Lips, yet remaining refreshingly unique. With their songs attracting airplay in the UK and featuring on TV series.
