Hans Island

Hans Island are an Indie/Garage/Psychedelic band from the towns of Kearsley and Farnworth, close to Manchester and Bolton. Utilising methods unseen in modern indie music such as delay and tamborines, Hans Island smashed onto the Manchester indie scene in early 2006 - claiming the internationally acclaimed prize 'Salford Battle of The Bands 2006'. This earned them immediate national fame with an early famous listener, fellow Manc Richard Ashcroft, shouting the first cries of "sign em up".

Cyril Snear

Three and a half recluses make up Cyril Snear; a band that draws its influences from its harsh surroundings on the dangerous borders of Didsbury & Burnage. Afflicted with aggressive cases of cabin fever, they must venture out and make there delicious noise in as many towns and cities as possible....

Xray Eyeballs

"XRay Eyeballs is OJ and Carly (from NYC rockers Golden Triangle) new drum machine driven dark punk project. Bathed in reverb, low fi sheen, and weirdo grit, XRay Eyeballs sounds like two drifter kids covered in makeup and glitter trying to escape a dead city skyline proclaiming their love for each other as the world just passes them by. Creeped out and charming all at once. If the world died but the songs kept playing." - SDREED, Night-People Records
