Medallist

Medallist's FREE live ep is available via their myspace. Coming together in and around the Bristol area in late 2006, electro rock band Medallist exist as a glorious anomaly in a musical era dominated by run of the mill 'indie bands' and fly by night 'next big things'. Haunting the Bristol scene for a couple of years now these five hipsters give artpop a positively Bristol flavour. Driving beats and synth-laden dance rhythms are overlayed with snarling guitars and vocals, complete with sleazy sneer and sweet falsettos.

Hal Flavin

Hal Flavin, a three-bodied creature and imaginary friend, was formed in Luxembourg by two revenants from Europe's largest capitals and a ferocious indigen... The electropop they create on stage using machines, guitars, synths, voice and bass is influenced by both Wave and Funk. All at once visceral and binary, distant, danceable and stylized, their ambiguous sound is intended to soothe the alienated.

Superpowerless

Superpowerless is 20 year old electro artist Oliver Hindle from
Leeds (England). In Oliver’s own words, Superpowerless is ‘Game Boy-fueled adventure-core’ but is probably easier to describe as video-game influenced electro-pop with pop punk guitar. He started out playing drums for a number of small high school pop-punk bands, which never got to gigging stage. He then learned guitar and started writing solo songs while playing in bands with friends. Oliver was then introduced to electronic music which would influence his musical direction.
