Kotki Dwa are a three-piece band hailing from the green pastures of Milton Keynes and Aylesbury, in England consisting of Alex Ostrowski, his younger brother Tristan and Tom Walker. They write and play pretty little songs that make the hair tingle. The sound they create is akin to a man and his robot playing a loving trio with a jukebox. In 2005 they released their debut album "Nostonesthrow" and their "Youwantfromsky" EP.
Laboratory Noise formed in the winter of 2005, band members are based in the cities of Leeds, Bradford and Manchester.

The band is: Paul McNulty (guitars & vocals), Paul Griffin (guitars), Ben Cleverley (guitars), Adam Watson (synths), Andy Ramsden (drums & vocals), Dom Sheard (bass) & Kerry Ramsay (vocals & percussion).

The Wind Up Birds are a Leeds based band, who have been in existence since 2003. The band take their name from a book by Japanese author Haruki Murakami. They have played in various venues across Yorkshire with a sound which has been described as angular post punk.

They deal with subjects such as life, death, love, loss, saving the world, drinking, working class inertia and cats.
