Ricky Spontane

Taken from their Facebook page (not that it does them justice because they're a much loved band originally from Liverpool that were too lazy to take over the world!) - "Post punk quirk with a modicum of yelp. Their sentiment and melodies will walk with you always. Hometown: Made originally in Liverpool but they now prowl the world." Taken from band website - "The Liverpudlian garage punk behemoths it's okay to snog during your first date" (NME)

They rivalled the Beatles early in their career, playing in the same areas of Hamburg, Germany and Liverpool, England.

Eugene McGuinness

Eugene McGuinness (born 1986 in London, England) is an alternative rock singer/songwriter/guitarist. He is signed to domino records. After The Early Learnings Of - a mini album of 8 songs - was released to great critical acclaim last year on Domino’s Publishing Label Double Six, Eugene headed to the studio to make his first full album proper for Domino. The result is twelve utterly charming pop tracks, which skip between boundaries with gleeful abandon and an acidic sense of humour.

Nasher

I was born in Liverpool, Merseyside, in the year of "Beatlemania" and first took an interest in music when my dad bought me my first two albums, "The Beatles 66-70" and "Ziggy Stardust". I spent many hours in the front room of my house playing "air guitar" and could not decide whether I wanted to be George Harrison or Mick Ronson, a tough choice for a 10 year old, I think you will agree. At the age of eleven I borrowed a beaten-up guitar from a friends dad and my cousin Mark O’Toole, later of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, taught me my first chords and I was hooked.

The Fall of Kings

Epic Liverpool / Wirral based sound collective. The Fall Of Kings (TFOK) are quickly establishing their mark on their local music scene, word is spreading and the word is Very Good! Based in and around Liverpool TFOK sound nothing like the 'scouse rock' bands that are so well known to the city. Instead they are creating a unique flavor for each song whilst hopefully building a recognisable sound all of their own.They have this to say for themselves: "we tried creating something different, something better. Then we just gave up and started playing some F***ing good tunes"
