Cue Fanfare

Not only just a Prefab Sprout song any more, Cue Fanfare is one of the finest band from Bristol you can meet on your music player. Balanced between new wave and sophisti-pop, the band of Rowena Dugdale introduces itself to our little kingdom and fans. Rowena and the talented guitarist Rob Williams carries on a musical journey interrupted with their previous band Santa Dog, a little cult on the indie tribe thanks to their album Kittyhawk.

Radio Spectacular!!!

Phebe and Harry met in 2005 on MySpace and five months later Harry had moved from Bundaberg to Adelaide so they could be together. Harry had been in Brisbane hardcore band Slain of Myself and was a keen piano and guitar player. Phebe had no previous musical endevours, other than the few years of recorder she did in primary school. They did their first gig in 2007 after getting air play on community radio stations like Adelaide's Three D. They have played with the likes of Tim & Jean, The John Steel Singers, Jonathan Boulet, That 1 Guy, Lovers Electric, Kid Confucius.

Kiddo

There are three artists with this name: (1) KiDDO sound like a musical ménage à trois between The Strokes, U2 and The Killers. More fun than a High School Musical Sing-along at a silent disco, these purveyors of riff-laden indie-pop are probably the sound of tomorrow… if the sound of tomorrow turns out to be riff-laden indie-pop. Which they reckon it will. “KiDDO have a fine line in maximum rock and roll, enough hooks to hang tonight’s huge curtains on and anthems that burrow into the brain” – NME

Verbal Warning

VERBAL Warning’s early eighties incarnation built themselves an uncompromising reputation in the Nottingham area and played with some of the big bands of the day.
Chumbawumba, Conflict, Flux of Pink Indians, Rudimentary Peni, Napalm Death and The Subhumans all shared bills with the original Warning.
Paul, switching to bass, decided to resurrect the band in 2005 and, after using the modern technology of the Internet to find Ian on drums and Lee on guitar, soon it was decided a singer was needed and an old mate of Paul's, John was bought in on vocals.

Hal

There are several artists using this name: 1) Ultra-hooky, dramatic vocal harmony-drenched tunes. Echoes of the Beatles, Harry Nilsson, the Beach Boys, and Phil Spector are everywhere. Hal go beyond imitation and use their influences, as a good band should, as guides and not blueprints. Tim Sendra-All Music Guide.
Dublin 3-piece, Hal, formed in 2003 and were signed by Jeff Travis to Rough Trade Records in 2004. Their eponymous debut album was produced by Tears for Fears’ Ian Stanley, and released to critical acclaim in 2005, producing two UK and Irish top 40 chart hits.

Fishboy

Fishboy is a four-piece eccentric indie pop band from Denton, TX that began as the bedroom solo project of front man Eric Michener. He was given the nickname on a middle-school field trip after a dare to pluck and swallow a fish at the Dallas World Aquarium. Six years and several shoe boxes full of cassette tapes later, Michener moved from the suburbs to the Texas rock-and-roll Mecca of Denton with a handful of low budget recordings released by the close-knit Austin music collective Business Deal Records.

Bearsuit

Bearsuit are an indie band from Norwich, UK. They currently release records on the Fantastic Plastic and Fortuna Pop! labels in the UK and Micro Indie and Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records in the US. They have also released records under their own Bearslut label, and many of their early 7 inch singles were released through the Sickroom Gramaphonic Collective (Sickroom GC). Like many other band in this genre...

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.
