Biographies
Dirty Love Project originally formed on a dark and dank night in February 2006, in a side street of Stoke-on-Trent.
The band gelled quickly in practices and soon began their first few tentative gigs, selling out many local venues.
It was then in the summer of the same year that Lewis was drafted in to add a second guitar to the already existent line-up of Rob (Bass) , George (Drums) , Dan (Vocals) , and Tom (Guitar) , in order to create more dimension and freedom in the band’s music and form the incarnation that stands/staggers before you now.
The band continued to gig relentlessly over the next set of months, gathering a strong local following and supporting bands from the Rumble Strips to GoodBooks, with a band ethos to always provide their audience with the tightest and most energetic performance they could accomplish - a reflection both of their extensive practicing and their quality song craft.

Dr. Robotnik is Simon Batten. He writes and produces all his music in his spare room in between studying Languages and International Studies.
He got his first Casio keyboard around the age of 7, graduating to piano then guitar, bass and drums.
He was in the local bands Georgia and The River, playing bass, singing and songwriting in both.
The Robotnik tracks started out as a side project, initially to make rap instrumentals for a friend.
Gradually he started to turn some of these into more song-based tracks seeking to meld classic melodies with decent beats.

Flinders is a musical brainchild of a Galway native with a passion for music and all things creative, Philip Flynn.
An avid fan of various styles of music from his youth, in 2000 he began to compose on a more regular and serious basis and first committed some of his works to tape in that same year.
Playing a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, his thoughts began to extend to an idea of music beyond the understandable limitations of those two instruments.
A product of both grunge and brit-pop, and influenced by aspects of each, together with acoustic-guitar based music with integrity, (Elliot Smith, Iron and Wine), as well as the more avant garde work of the likes of The Notwist, he looks to balance the use of technology, distortion and melody.
Anxious to distance himself from the singer/songwriter 'curse', so tarnished at present in Ireland, 2005 saw him really begin to establish what it is that he was trying to do.
Experimenting with a unique style of music, blending looped vocals and guitar parts with a pulsating rhythms, hypnotic baselines and a soaring lead vocal line, Flinders discovered that there was a way to use his particular song-writing skills to maximum advantage.
Throughout 2006, he honed his ability as a live performer with a slew of live performances in Dublin, Ireland.
Performing his work live has proved to be a unique challenge to the musician himself, and requires all of the usual characteristics of a live performance together with pin-point timing and accurate harminisation.
The performance is made possible by the use of a number of Pedals, including the RC-20 XL Loop Station.
The intention of Flinders is ensure that the music stays just the right side of experimental, thus allowing it to be as accessible as possible to those wish to listen to it.
In April of this year, Flinders entered the studio and recorded his first E.P entitled "The Ground Floor".
Over four days, the E.P was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Les Keye and was released to the general public on May 11th 2007.
The E.P is available in independent record stores in Ireland and Digitally all over the world on I-Tunes and Indiestore.com
The remainder of 2007 will see Flinders promote his E.P though playing live, radio appearances and is currently available for support bookings throughout Ireland and the U.K by contacting [email protected]
Flinders appears on Unsigned Talent 2007 with his song "Boxes Burning".
=================================
Goodbye Stereo is a four piece indie/pop band created by good friends Danny Colson, Sam Woodford, Ben Tippetts and Paul Egan in late 2006.
However, prior to this Danny and Sam have been writing and performing together for sometime.
Since acquiring Ben & Paul the band as a unit have built up a substantial fan base that is ever growing and have performed at many venues gaining great experience and respect from other artists.
Listen carefully to the lyrics as many of you will be able to relate in some way as all their music is based upon experiences we all have to face and all come across sometime in our existence.
“A band that has everything! Great vocals, intricate lyrics with true meaning and melodic riffs that will have you humming for days after“ Xan Phillips (Original 106fm).
“A band with true potential....Definitely one to look out for!“ Summer (A&R Gut Records).
Goodbye Stereo are featured on Unsigned Talent 2007 with their song "I'm A Robot".

Static Field began when two friends, Graham (Instruments) and Roz (Vocals and Arrangements) got together in dimly lit studios in the heart of the Kent countryside.After recording several tracks, they began to do the occasional live show using various musicians, depending on who was available at the time.
In 2005, one of their songs appeared on a compilation album titled "Innovation" which was released by Chromium Records.
In 2006, a friend suggested they start a MySpace page, once they had it up and running they were surprised by the amount of interest it had received, which urged them to form a more permanent band.

Sunfall On Echoes ... the name is derived from the music that inspired it's two founding members; Robb and Jaa Bury, to compose.
Formed in 2006 in Salt Lake City, Utah, the two musicians set out to make music that would combine elements of neoclassical, folk and blues with nature and atmosphere.
The concept of the project was simple; to look at the changes of the world with it's hopes, desires, ugliness and beauty and adapt it into a living art form that would instill their listeners with the same emotions that the world around them had brought.
Although loosely based, their self-titled effort was to be a conceptual release; using the idea of change as the motivation.
With tracks like "Winter's Swansong", "The Circumstance of Change" and the album's focal point "A Pagan Love Cycle"; life and death, the rise and fall of true love, and the constant realization that once was may never be again had been born into an art both alive and tangible.
The music of Sunfall On Echoes has been heard on regular rotation on the Pagan Radio Network.
Their song “A Pagan Love Cycle Part II (Life Brought To The Desert Of Their Souls)†is to be featured on the upcoming compilation: “Nachste Ostara- Thee Art Of Music Collection IIâ€.
Sunfall On Echoes are featured on Unsigned Talent 2007 with their song "A Pagan Love Cycle Part III (The Ghost Of Yesternight)".

The Novellos formed in late 2006 after a few disastrous name sakes and a lot more pints of beer.
After regular weekly practice in Dan's conservatory and writing initial songs in Ye Old White Lion, all has gone smoothly since, playing their first gig in early February.
A late addition to the group arrived in the form of "Scoob", the resident singing dog, joining the band soon after their first gig.
Through the highs and the lows of hangovers, the band has managed to turn out an ever expanding set of contrasting material.
The Novellos are looking to mix up old styles into new sounds and make some nice tunes at the same time.
The band are currently in the studio turning out new material for the upcoming EP "Echoes and X-Rays", the first part of which is now available on Demo.
The Novellos are featured on Unsigned Talent 2007 with their song "The Lady Is Not For Turning".
