Sounds Like: PEANUT ALBINOS
'Imagine a band that look like a bunch of old-fashioned tinkers, who play skiffle banjo, mandolin and brushed drums with a masterful depth of dark gothic and celtic soul, but are mercifully devoid of any carousing Irish accents... Peanut Albinos, in soft, battered, slept-in suits and hats, have an English take on longing, regret and coming to terms with consequences, all while making you think you are in a late night lock-in with Tom Waits on the Kilburn High Road.'

PLUMTUCKER
After a red-letter 2007, featuring the honour of being selected as one of the top-5 Texas Singer-Songwriters of the Year, tours through top national and international venues, and glowing press, Plumtucker (aka David Lutes) is well into an even more exciting 2008. Plumtucker’s acclaimed live performances and stellar studio work are an eclectic, seamless blend of styles that, though loosely termed “folk-rock,†really defy genre.
"Plumtucker ignores genres while fusing jazz, pop, rock, Americana and anything else that fits, and everything seems to fit."

OWEN TROMANS
As the leader of San Lorenzo Owen Tromans has toured with Idlewild and gained support from the radio shows of Steve Lamacq and John Peel. Away from the band, Owen has been producing diverse and consistently engaging solo records for a while now. Lyrically rooted in English suburbia and the countryside that lies beyond, Owens music manages to combine what Time Out London called "uncluttered and intensely beautiful ballads with fiery, guitar-based music."
