The Skylight Crowd

There are bands out there that are on the cutting edge, breaking new ground and pushing musical boundaries. While The Skylight Crowd certainly wishes those bands luck, they definitely don’t fall into that category.

“If we’re really honest with ourselves, our sound is fundamentally based on the music we like,” smiles singer Keith Porter. “Bands like Counting Crows, Train and Hootie and the Blowfish are the reason we exist. We’ve been influenced by that genre for fifteen years, and now we’re creating music that would fit into that world.”

Scowlin Owl

Scowlin Owl are an all-female folk band, low on twee but big on drama and vocal harmonies. They’re influenced by mythic storytellers from the classic (Dylan, Baez) to the contemporary (Decemberists, Midlake). Any story or concept which inspires them may become a song - their setlist includes tunes about the 2004 tsunami, creepy preachers, frozen cavemen, the Japanese John Wayne, the childlike love of waterslides and what Dolly Parton’s Jolene may have said in her defence.

The Ditty Bops

The Ditty Bops is a band from Los Angeles, California that play a blend of folk, bluegrass, jazz, swing music, ragtime and musical theater. They are headed by Abby DeWald (vocals and acoustic guitar) and Amanda Barrett (vocals, mandolin and dulcimer). They are noted for their excellent harmonies and generally playful style and tempo. The Ditty Bops formed in New York City, when Abby and Amanda were on a hunt for a friend's lost cat.

Whole Schebang

A young band with five primary players scattered around East London making some d.i.y. folkpop music. Formed in late 2006 as a duo to explore open-mic night hotspots with guitars in hand, they have gone on to acquire a drummer, flugelhornist/flautist and bassist. What you can hear here is their recorded music to date - four collections of songs: 'A house and everything in it', 'Supermalt EP', 'Will it grow back? EP' and the latest offering 'Stranger Than The Weather'. The latter shows the band testing out their fullest sound yet and is replete with big harmonies and a string-section.
