Raintown Raintown are independent Pop/Country duo Paul Bain and Claire McArthur from Glasgow. Fusing the infectious elements of great pop songs with roots based instrumentation and a conversational writing style, Raintown, Paul Bain and Claire McArthur, are a contemporary twist on a modern country duo. Continuing the tradition of exciting new music to emerge from Glasgow, their catchy hooks and dynamic male/female harmonies are delivered with a passion and style that demands attention, while their carefully crafted lyrics articulate some very human emotions in a sincere, ‘heart on the sleeve’ kind of way. They have independently released their debut single, ‘Just One Kiss.’ A musically diverse and lyrically uplifting track that is steeped in the roots based instrumentation and conversational writing style of many of today’s Nashville hits, but distinct with the duo’s pop drenched harmonies and hook driven chorus.
Hot Damn We are HOT DAMN, A Pop Punk band hailing from the South Wales Valleys, We stay true to who we are and write songs about going out and hanging out with our friends and keeping it real, we are all about making people look on the bright side and put any trouble and the back burner and just feel good about themselves. We have already been described as "South Wales answer to Four Year Strong"
Irvine Irvine is a group of like-minded musicians who aim to put the heart and soul back into indie rock, by bringing back old fashioned sensibilities such as improvisation, dynamic contrast, and a healthy disdain for modern studio trickery.
Formed in 2006 by brothers Bob and Chris Thorpe, the band spent much of their time performing, writing and recording in London, England, before moving to Cape Town, South Africa, in 2009. With songs that are as memorable as they are intricate, voiced through sincere, unassuming lyrics, Irvine has developed a sound that has fused the art of the classic big chorus rock anthem with the experimental low-fi production and subtle aural anarchy of the authentic indie tradition.
The band’s emphasis on strong melody is balanced by the progressive undertones in their arrangements, rhythms and chord structures, revealing influences ranging from contemporary artists such as Jimmy Eat World and Cold War Kids to greats like Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. The intensity and improvisational energy of Irvine's live performances is a testament to this careful balance, constantly swaying between the beautifully melodic and the chaotically abstract.
In an industry obsessed with producing and selling little more than a fashionable image through disposable music, Irvine seeks to stand out as a band for those who truly love to listen.

Centralia DC In late 2008 Miles, Joe and Mark started a jamming band which they called "Play Dead", after writing a few songs they decided it was time to start holding auditions for vocals and bass.
after a fair few unsuccessful applicants Dave Anderson tried out and that was it, after one practice they had found a vocalist,
after writing about 4 songs together between september and december, it was time to look for a bassist, again there were unsuccessfull applicants which led to Miles' older brother Elliot taking a temporary postition as bassist until a permanent bassist in the form of Jay was found.
Centralia dc's music is heavy yet catchy which always whips the crowd into a frenzy, the stage presence is always captivating and energetic, you really get the sense these guys love what they do and they love to perform and please the crowd.

Magazine Gap “It shouldn’t work (but it does)”. Magazine Gap is perhaps an unlikely combination: an acclaimed folk-rock singer/songwriter, an R&B/hip-hop drumming sensation and record producer, a funk-hard rock bassist, a classically-trained jazz pianist and a blues guitarist. But they share a singular vision and passion for utilising musical genres to challenge themselves and entertain their audience with songs in slightly different directions, within a consistent and distinct overall sound, creating something fresh and exciting. They also carefully balance contemporary and classic sounds to create something timeless. Magazine Gap is an eclectic, trans-Atlantic, five-piece British band from London who explore a range of styles including pop, rock, jazz, blues, folk, country, R&B, Hip-Hop, soul, funk, with occasional Latin and African rhythms. Since officially forming in mid-2009, the band have twice crossed the pond to tour America including dates in New York City, Chicago, New Orleans, Houston & Los Angeles. In major recording studios in each of those cities, as well as back home in London, the band have recorded tracks for their debut album, “Light & Shade”. The title track has recently been licensed to a feature-length documentary film about counter-insurgency in Afghanistan to be released theatrically this summer. Does the UK finally have an answer to the Dave Matthews Band? From rich studio recordings to sensational live workouts, this London-based band has international potential, reaching audiences as far and wide as the musical influences which infuse their songs. The band takes their name from a road in Hong Kong, where three of the members grew up, and which runs from the mid-levels to The Peak...

Izzi Stone After having heard enough of the mindless dribble that plagues the airwaves of the UK, Izzi Stone formed in the early months of 2010 with the intent of making a final stand for music, and bringing it back to a age where it was ok to sing about partying, women and having a good time. All four members (Matt James – Vocals, Rob Gamble – Lead Guitar, Dylan Smith – Bass, Ralph Morris - Drums) share a genuine passion for real rock music, influenced by the greats of an area now just a memory for some. But do not be confused. This is no nostalgia train. This young bunch pack a sound drawing influence from the last 30 years of rock, but bring it kicking and screaming into a new age. Forget perms, make up and spandex, these guys are set solely on playing straight up rock’n’roll tunes that almost anyone with a passion for a well shredded solo and good old fashioned headbang can enjoy.
