Grammatics are a super-new Leeds contemporary indie-rock five-piece mixing brash trebly new-wave guitar with falsetto male/female vocals, swathes of organ and menacing cello lines
I Was A Cub Scout, a Nottinghamshire duo who write and release adrenalised, somersaulting rushes of pop-punk, married with a penchant for glittering electronica. Teenage Skin is one such money shot
Read Yellow is to music what Bob Ross was to painting...without the afros. However, we are currently working on the afros, as well as our next musical masterpiece
Sky Larkin are a hot-off-the-block trio from the dusty plains of Yorkshire who blast out joyous bursts of complicated-but-gorgeous pop, reminiscent of Rilo Kiley and The Breeders. Summit, is an exclusive (and perhaps best yet) recording for this compilation
Foreign Born live in Los Angeles, California. Firstly self-recording and self-releasing their first 12" single, after much touring in the US, Canada and the UK, they have now put the finishing touches on their debut album, "On the Wing Now", to be released in Spring 2007
Voltage Union are a punch-drunk beast of guitars and synths, churning with the complexity of a first date and the ferocity of the last
Disco Drive formed in Turin, Italy and been described as: The Clash queuing to get inside Studio 54 meets Ian MacKaye (Fugazi) unwrapping his birthday gift to find out it’s a Tito Puente album. They redefine the boundaries between noise and melody, rhythm and improvisation, pop and the avant-garde
Laura Groves, 19 years of age, lives in the town of Shipley. Here she writes songs for various instruments, some of which she can play and some of which she can't (but tries to anyway), and watches the interesting folk go by
: ( - pronounced "colon open-bracket" are a colective of drunks from Aberdeen Scotland, making kick ass electronic punk rock you can send MySpace bulletins to
They are Ghost Fleet. They are made up of 1 x Cathy Bass, 1 x Hayley Guitar, and 1 x Lady Laptop. They washed up on the shores of Leeds and formed from the shipwrecks of two ill-fated voyages. They sound like red wine and gin but not in the same glass. All their songs are in the scale of Fuck Off
Sometree come from Berlin, and their song is taken from their 3rd album 'Bending The Willow.' Opposing to all technical music laws, their songs build up, calm down again, change imperceptibly - and are always carried by persistently great melody arches
AnteAter is based in Crossgates and makes intense, electronic-based music. "Final Lekky" is four furious minutes of breaking circuits and twisted metal
Currently a trio formed within the Lions of SWE collective. Drunken rock on broken speakers, or the best thing you've ever heard
This Et Al uncover a world of savagery and disenchantment, a society rife with domestic abuse, police-corruption and drug-abuse, brilliantly encapsulated in uncompromising lyrics, soaring melodies, and heart-rending performances. Their debut LP 'Baby Machine' (FC Recordings/Cargo) is released in April
Black Wire are four young men based in Leeds. Sounds like? The hardest question of all, one which they can not answer today. Feel free to make your own judgements
This is only the start; part one of two compilations we are setting up for the first half of 2007
