“Formed from the ashes of various notable Glasgow bands, The Recovery! Have come quite far since their live debut in June 2011, and have supported the likes of Transit, Cancer Bats and Title Fight, as well as headlining Glasgow s world famous King Tuts this past summer. If you can imagine Cancer Bats and Every Time I Die getting into a fight with a well-dressed man who has excellent melodic sensibilities then the result would be The Recovery!.”

Jenny Wilson has been the critics’ darling since her solo debut with Love and Youth in 2005. Lost reels: Bad waters is an independent project stemming from her latest album Blazing, released in 2011. Sophie Winqvist was educated at the Danish Film School and is currently filming a horror movie in Bollywood. Elin Maria Johansson is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm, she is one of the driving forces behind Gylleboverket in Österlen, Sweden; a former scrap yard converted into a creative scene for artists. The video has been produced with support from the top tiers of the Danish film industry and was shot on location in Copenhagen.”

“Blurring the boundary between art-metal and neo-classical, Japanese post-rockers Mono hailing from Tokyo, have long established themselves as the leading voice of epic majestic noise. For over 12 years in fact. Their instrumental compositions are powerful, sweeping studies in the limits of the musical spectrum; from rumbling subsonic lows to dizzying harmonic highs.”

Sun Industries was founded in the early 21st Century by an alliance of individuals with an interest in deep space exploration and the research into the possibilities of interdimensional and intertemporal travel. Funded entirely by unnamed private investors, their motives and future revenue streams are shrouded in mystery, however, their stated manifesto is a) ‘To spread positivity and enlightenment through electronic noise’ b) ‘To create democracy and harmony through newly-discovered sonic tapestries’ c) ‘To break down barriers, physical and metaphysical, via rhythmic and kinetic means’.”

“Rising stars Eli and Fur have announced the latest release on their own label NYX Records. ‘Tonight’ it’s a super cool slice of electronica with a massive pop sensibility and was co-produced by south London outfit Breton ’s artistic wing BretonLABS who’ve also delivered a stunning remix. Detroit born artist and producer Jimmy Edgar’s on-the-money remix has already had rave reviews across the blogosphere.”

Writes rhylnewswire.com: “Prestatyn band Cold Committee may only be four months old but they can already count Liam Gallagher as a fan and are about to embark on a nationwide tour with his blessing. A chance encounter on Facebook with a friend of the former Oasis frontman led the Prestatyn guitar band to a deal that could be their big break in the music industry.”

The Nankeens come from sunny Eccles, and make guitar music that’s unarguably powerful. Nodding to formidable walls of sound like Arcade Fire, at the same time there’s more than an hint of punk’s wonderfully to the point ethic. In keeping with that, we’ll let the tracks themselves do the talking.”

“Having just released the limited-edition, colored Body of Work 7” on Saddle Creek this week, The Mynabirds commemorate the occasion with the accompanying video for “Body of Work.” With syncopated beats and playful thumps, layered on top of Laura Burhenn’s gospel inspired tone, Burhenn illustrates a playfulness as she combines nature and art in the video.”

Arc & Stones is a rock group originating from Brooklyn, NY. The band, comprised of members Dan Pellarin and Ben Cramer, is set to release their debut EP, Arc & Stones EP, February 12, 2013. The EP was produced and mixed by established producer Jeremy Griffith at Singing Serpent Studios in the heart of NYC. Each of the five songs display distinctive attributes of the band. From loud anthems to intimate ballads, the EP showcases a recognizable yet progressive sound. With both members only in their early 20’s, the band is eager to establish a name for themselves throughout the NYC music circuit as well as a national touring act. Already, they’ve graced the stage at major venues such as the Bowery Electric, Arlene’s Grocery, the Red Lion and the Bitter End.”

“These tracks reveal Teleman’s innate ability for songwriting. The band’s simple, sonorous brew of guitar, drum and synths is not at all unusual, but with it they craft exquisite pop songs that instantly spark your musical curiosity. With ‘Cristina’ already receiving radio plays from 6Music’s Steve Lamacq, Tom Ravenscroft and Marc Riley, Teleman are proving themselves worthy of close attention.”

“Australian wunderkinds Snakadaktal have teamed up with the esteemed UK label, Young & Lost Club to make their introduction to the UK. Free download “Chimera” will be their debut, followed by their official UK release on 4th February with AA-single ‘Air’ & ‘Dance Bear’, also with Young & Lost Club. Clocking in at 5minutes in length ‘Chimera’ is a slightly epic introduction to the UK, but it serves as the perfect initiation to Snakadaktal’s dream like quality; with ethereal vocals falling and soothing over Foals meets Explosions In The Sky-esque musical backdrop.”

“Italian duo F.O.O.S. formed back in 2010 with the specific intent to develop a hybrid genre of rock with strong electronic elements. In such a short space of time, the band, comprised of members Simone and Fabrizio, have managed to develop a unique sound which has generated significant interest. Having begun the project in Italy, F.O.O.S. decided to move to the UK in 2011 to record their first EP, ‘Love In The 21st Century’.”

“Bedfordshire based band the CC Smugglers have their debut album coming out called ‘New Roots Music’ released February 25th on Cabin Records. The album is packed with up-tempo country blues songs, tinged with a rock ‘n’ roll spirit and highly influenced by the likes of The Avett Brothers, Punch Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Seasick Steve and Doc Watson to name a few.”

Dead Cars are four unfashionable men who orbited each other awkwardly for severayears, lamenting the fact that pop just ain’t witty any more. They agreed that, shouthey hypothetically form a band, it would probably be kinda smart and way awesome. They gave in to that awesome early in 2011, strapping ripped up synthbass to punk guitars and geeky smart-ass lyrics.”
