SEVEN YEARS ON
http://www.myspace.com/sevenyearsonAttempting to sum up a band like Seven Years On in a few catchy paragraphs is much like trying to nail jelly to a wall (admittedly I've never tried the jelly thing, but I would imagine it to be quite difficult). It's even harder when it's a band that manages to twist their vastly different musical backgrounds into compelling music that manages to be dark, pretty and melodic. Rest assured that there's a little bit of scuffed up pop goodness in the mix, fighting it out with noisy guitars and taut rhythms.
JETKING
http://www.myspace.com/jetkingukThe music is a mish-mash of very diverse influences, but if you like Kasabian, Beck, Primal Scream, or The Charlatans, chances are you'll like them. Its a gutsy, powerful sound with a quirky edge and reactions from audiences have been very positive.

THE HEYS
http://www.myspace.com/theheysBorn from a love of The Kinks, the Stones, The Who and The Jam, this British 4-piece wear their influences on their sleeves; Mod, Motown, Northern Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Punk attitude. The Heys have everything that a great guitar-pop band should have, three minutes of fuzzy major chords, full, rich bass, shouty, ominpresent backing vocals and an impossibly addictive chorus.
THE SCREENBEATS
http://www.myspace.com/thescreenbeatsCombining the style & poise of the Small Faces with a stringent DIY work ethic, with over 80 gigs under their belt, expect a rivetting live show, - the band’s debut EP ’Troubled Scene’ released under their former moniker of The Shake received airplay on XFM as well as coverage in the NME, where they were tipped as one of the bands of the week by James Jam. Check them out as soon as you can - they won’t wait for you...
