Emily Breeze

With her psychobilly bad-girl vibe Bristol girl Emily Breeze "comes on like Elvis, Nick Cave and Patti Smith playing a baptist preacher all rolled into one. Her striking bequiffed persona rocks, swaggers and plays holy southern hell out of a beautiful white guitar. Along with her partners in crime, drummer Dan and bassist John, she "plays songs of love and faillure with more sweat and energy than a hundred simpering indie boy bands," says Artrocker magazine. Stool Pigeon says they can be "schlocky, silly, derivative" but at the same time "bloody brilliant".

Ruckus Collective

From the dark depths of Bristol’s legendary underground music scene come five beatnik students and one garden centre sales assistant, with a flair for crushing grooves and poignant lyricism that ignites on stage in a manic explosion of relentless kinetic energy. Although existent in various forms since October 2006, it was not until early 2008 that the Ruckus Collective really took off, quickly earning a reputation as one of the city’s most exciting new bands.

Let's Tea Party

Let's Tea Party are Samuel, Richard and Jonathan. They live in a house together. They bicker, they banter but mostly they make noises. On stage they run about but fall over. Sometimes they play with violins, flutes, kazoos, loop pedals, cowbells but mostly just their voices and their souls. pop.bounce.

JetKing

JetKing are a Bristol-based band who play a blend of guitar-based indie mixed with
electronica. The band has a big and very diverse melting pot of influences and this goes some
way to explain why they are so different. Grooving bass, quirky guitars, analogue
electronica, BIG drums and strong vocals complete the sound. Originally a studio project only, the band launched itself into the live circuit in summer
