Individually and as a band their energy is unharnessable and their songs are top draw.

Next up were Leicester based five-piece Autohype with their own unique brand of Indie-Dance-Rock. Sporting an impressive list of festival appearances and headline slots (Glastonbudget and Dublin Castle to name but a few), it’s easy to see why they have been attracting such positive attention. Musically it’s a contemporary, up-tempo mixture of Indie-Rock and Dance; with catchy riffs, sharp dancey beats and atmospheric synths all combining for a sound that sits somewhere between Does It Offend You Yeah?, Elle Milano and The Editors. A strong performance at The Rainbow saw them go down well with the crowd, and flagged them as a band with some real potential in this competition and beyond.
AutoHype at the Maze, Sunday 3rd February 2008.
Leicester indie band Autohype put on a beltin'ly good show at the Maze in Nottingham. Playing a heat in the Mindvox Battle of the Bands, the indie kids played their latest songs, including their dance anthem "Any Chance" and recently recorded "Stronger than Anyone".
Sparkling stage performance, well blended guitar riffs and synth sounds, created a characteristic sound which will mark out the 'Hypes as being one of the leading proponents of the art of indie.
Throwing themselves into the challenge, the five lads mopped the floor with the other bands. Only a few days earlier, AutoHype played Yates in Nottingham and clearly outshone all the other bands for originality and x-factor star quality. Watch their MySpace for new releases as a string of new songs will be coming out over the next few weeks."
