Top Artist 2012

Jungle by Night

Jungle by Night is a young and swinging, promising band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Friends, family and former strangers form a nine-headed ensemble, which is the talk of the town at this moment. Being different from the slipstream of young bands that find their inspiration in British and American pop, Jungle by Night is inspired by music away from the mainstream. Their music is a mixture of Afrobeat from Nigeria and Jazz from Ethiopia, played with a Western rock attitude.

Boy And Bear

Boy & Bear was four separate bands until they decided to leave their respective collectives and represent one 'a-little-bit-better' band. After performing as Dave Hosking during 2008 the band decided to re-name the project and embrace a new direction and sound of 70's folk rock. Boy & Bear is a Sydney based band built on the collaboration of three front men of separate bands. The combination of three songwriters has resulted in songs that refuse to stay within the boundaries of one genre... Boy & Bear are launching their new single, Mexican Mavis at Spectrum on October 21st.

We Are Knights

We Are Knights are a new band hailing from France. They are a three-piece band comprising of Jean-Marc Battalier, Guilhem Hatt and Gaelle Malandrone. With every track they produce this band impress me whether it’s a stripped down slow track with a compelling beat or a pulsating electronic track with punching sounds. The band have recently been part of the album Kituné Parisien II with their track Tears featuring at track number nine on the reputable Kitsuné compilation. It is a very impressive track which is already one of my favourite synth tracks so far this year.
