Red Ax Jam (Jared Rood, Paul-Peter Merron, Josiah Gladwell, Nima Chatrizeh and Max Davey) is a new London based Blues Rock influenced band. If you crossed The Black Keys and B.R.M.C. you would eventually find Red Ax Jam at the bottom of your pint glass.”

Fitz and The Tantrums are giving away a second FREE 5-song EP recorded live at the House of Blues in Boston! The EP includes three live versions of “News 4 U,” “Pickin’ Up The Pieces,” and “Breakin’ The Chains of Love” plus two live cover songs of “Sweet Dreams” (originally by the Eurythmics) and “Steady As She Goes” (originally by The Raconteurs).”

Karima Francis releases her stirring new single ‘Glory Days’, August 6th on Mercury, self-penned and produced by Flood (U2, PJ Harvey,Depeche Mode, Nick Cave). ‘Glory Days’ is the rousing, emotionally charged centrepiece from the Blackpool born singer-songwriter’s extraordinary new album ‘The Remedy’ which expresses – in just a few words – exactly where she’s coming from; ‘They are weak but strong,” she sings, “who fail but carry on.'”

Weatherbird are 18 and their first single topped the Amazon Hot New Releases charts. They are releasing their 2nd single “Give It All To Me” on 6th Aug.”

Me have spent the last twelve months in and out of the UK, supporting Kasabian, Evanescence and Death From Above 1979 as well as touring with Panic! At The Disco, Twin Atlantic and King Charles. They have also squeezed in shows at The Great Escape, Camden Crawl and The Reeperbahn Festival in Germany. The band’s six track debut mini album ‘Another Story High’ was recorded with renowned producer Simon ‘Barny’ Barnicott (Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Temper Trap) and is a release that suggests ME’s debut long player will confirm their status as one of the most exciting new rock bands to appear this side of the millennium.”

“Monday 16th July 2012 sees this wandering poet’s dramatic entrance to the scene: with the release of Saint Max and the Fanatics‘ debut EP “Saint Max and the Fanatics”, recorded at Glasgow’s all-analogue Green Door Studio. Harking back to luminaries as varied as Bowie, Madness and Morrissey, Saint Max’s sound is born to an eclectic family of influences. It is bound together, however, by a razor sharp delivery which simply cannot be ignored.”

My Tiger My Timing make infectious new wave electro-pop with a darker undercurrent. Always upbeat, but never too sweetly happy, but never veering too much to the dark side. It’s the perfect balance which has seen them build a impressive fan-base and wholly justified hype that began with their debut single and is with them now on the eve of debut album release. Having stuck by their D.I.Y ethos 100%, My Tiger My Timing have self released five singles on their own label Snakes & Ladders, which have collectively won them press pieces in – among others – NME, Dazed & Confused, The Stool Pigeon, Clash and this Sunday a coveted One to Watch piece in The Observer. Their music has been play-listed on XFM and 6Music, played on Radio 1 and filled many venues on headlining European tours, on support slots with the likes of contemporaries Crystal Castles and Metronomy and at various festivals including Glastonbury playing the John Peel Stage.”
