Matt Woods

Matt Woods, 21, born in Birmingham and raise in Dothan Alabama, being the oldest of three always had musical influence in his life. At the early age of 10, Matt realized his love and talent for music by learning guitar and writing songs in his spare time. As time went on, he became more enthusiastic about his love for music and began continuously playing live shows. As he grew, so did his music. One day, I was writing about the simple things in life with a simple rhythm and eventually realized my words and music were becoming more and more intense.

Octane & DLR

A production force to be reckoned with, each of the pair honing their skills with 9 years in the making before joining forces. Each the perfectionist, combined they become much more than the sum of their parts. A mutual love of twisted bass textures, organic soundscapes and live recording. Pure originality in sound and production technique brings the pair truly into their own. With a barrage of releases via Renegade Hardware and Dispatch Recordings amongst others the future is set to be bright for the Leeds based duo.

InMe

InMe are a British heavy alternative rock group from Brentwood, Essex. They originally consisted of Dave McPherson (vocals/guitar), Joe Morgan (bass/backing vocals) and Simon Taylor (drums). The group formed in 1996 as 'Drowned' but changed their name to 'InMe' after signing with MFN in 2001 as they decided that there were too many bands with a similar name. Joe Morgan came up with the name after being asked where the music came from. When Music for Nations was dissolved in a large company buy out, InMe signed to V2 and have created their own label Pandora's Box.

Del Amitri

Del Amitri are a Pop-rock guitar band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980. They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name - early Del Amitri did not want to be classified and their existence was kept secret from the rest of the school.
