Bear Driver

They write songs compulsively and they travel the world in a Volkswagon van. Their debut EP 'Paws and Claws' was released on May 23rd 2009. On 1st June it was announced that they had won a slot to play End of the Road festival.

Wet Wings
Wet Wings are Lucy and Darian. They are from New Zealand and make music that is consoling, uneasy, weird, familiar, harmonic, dissonant, soporific, hyperventilating and {other adjectives}.
Cuushe
Cuushe, who is greatly inspired by music like Board of Canada, L’altra, started out her musical career as a member in a collage pop band, and eventually ventured into solo-project works in 2003. Using her mesmerizing airy vocals as the main instrument, Cuushe composes pop-infused electronic music that is lovable and yet uniquely different from any other song-based pop sounds out there. Together with the delicate lyrics penned by her, the multi-talented cuushe beautifully projects a subtle musical world that is carefully wrapped with sensitive emotion and fragile memories.
Pascal Pinon
Pascal Pinon are the twins Jófríður and Ásthildur, two girls from Reykjavík, Iceland. When they were only fourteen they got together with two of their friends and decided to start a band. Using the instruments they had, Pascal Pinon worked in the twins' bedroom. At the same place they played their first gig: calling it 'The Friendly Concert'. Only a few months later Pascal Pinon had already played various local venues and started to record their first album.
