Minus Jack

I’m sure that most people from Bradford will still think of Minus Jack as those little kids with guitars. However you may not have realised, but these boys have grown up!.. Oh, and what little beauties they have become. Since they formed in 2006, Minus Jack have come a long, long way. Not only have they been featured on Radio 1 as Annie Mac’s house band, they have also supported ‘Pete And The Pirates’, ‘The Kabeedies’ and Indie legends ‘Ash’.

Friendo

Friendo is a three-piece, guitar-driven band largely inspired by ‘90s experimental rock, ‘70s punk and ‘60s pop. Their songs range anywhere from breezy, effortless jams, to pulse-pounding post-punk outbursts. The multi-instrumentalist members love to mix harmony with noise, creating their own seasonal landscape. Michael (Women, Azeda Booth, Monkey) has been drumming since he was a child, playing in bands, and eventually wanted to explore the melodic side of music and songwriting by singing and playing on the guitar.

Horse Shoes

Some boys in Florida making beautiful pop songs. Their sound can be described like Stone Roses taking trip through time with the time machine ending up in swinging '60s. If you like the sound of The Clientele, Beachwood Sparks, The Tyde, Talulah Gosh, Stars, you're in the right place. These Americans are the other sons of Sarah Records, with a sound clearly influenced by Field Mice, or even very similar to contemporary bands such as Air France. Shelflife and has signed for 2009. http://www.myspace.com/horseshoesmusic

The Hounds Below

The Hounds Below, a new band formed by Jason Stollsteimer formerly the front man of the von bondies, shine new light on a classic sound. Focusing on the beauty rather than the volume of the song, the band creates a melodic landscape that layers a lush, early rock-and-roll vibe over spacey guitars and an atmospheric-sounding organ. Bonding over a mutual appreciation of old and new music alike--everything from Phoenix to Buddy Holly--the Hounds Below have a sound that spans decades, yet is distinctively their own.
