Terrorvision

Terrorvision were formed in Bradford, (or more accurately the small town of Keighley) West Yorkshire, England in 1987, originally with the moniker "The Spoilt Bratz". After a undeniably wise name change, the band released their first album "Formaldehyde" in 1992. Although showing their obvious Heavy Metal influences, there was a sense of humour and pop leaning which could not be hidden, particularly in their breakthrough single "My House". It was those pop quirks which informed their breakthrough second album "How To Make Friends And Influence People".

Jack McManus

Jack McManus. A piano man in the vein of Elton John or Billy Joel, with a chestful of choons and choruses to help you feel cheery. Jack is preparing to release his debut album ‘Either Side of Midnight’ which is out on Polydor Records on May 5th and is preceded by debut single ‘Bang On The Piano’ on April 21st. Many people are comparing Jack to a young Billie Joel or Elton John and I can see why.

Two Minute Noodles

Casually swinging drums duo with a large organ, joyfully crafting memorable disco lounge pop. Members of Quack Quack, CHOPS, Casino Volante and Propulsion Family Picnic. Two Minute Noodles create a merrymaking mix that revolves around drums and organ. The resulting sound is something akin to a party full of French people from the Sixties. In a Hitchcock movie. In a pub. With ridiculous analogies being bandied about
