Chinatown – Wild Nothing
http://www.myspace.com/wildnothing
NEW MUSICAL CRUSH ALERT. Swooning, luscious summergaze with a great all encompassing chorus, catchy as hell guitar picks and an overall sense of assured bonhomie.

Pumpkin Eye – Curly Hair
http://www.myspace.com/wearecurlyhair
Like any good sounding indie pop, the sheen of clappy, strummy, horny laissez faire belies a sure fire ear for a pop hook and a host of larger influences at work.

Walk Me To The Sea – Hallo… I love You!
http://www.myspace.com/halloiloveyou
I’m not sure I can beat their own description as ‘deliciously cloudless skypop’, so I’m gonna leave this slab of faux dumb synth pop at that. Oh.

Shut Out The Moon – Spark
http://www.myspace.com/sparkthemusic
Really hard to define this sound – definitely pop, but with TFF chiming guitars, Queen operatic keyboards and a stupidly catchy chorus.

21st Century Love – Ollie Wride
http://www.myspace.com/olliewridemusic
Finely crafted sugar pop with all the right influences showing through – The Buggles, Daft Punk, and, dare I say it, Whitney before she got all cracky.

Let’s Start Marching – The Agitator
http://www.myspace.com/theagitatormusic
Rabble rousing marching pop with a sparse, elemental raw energy to it that will get you hopping in your seat.

Breathe In – The James Warner Prophecies
http://www.myspace.com/thejameswarnerprophecies
Heartfelt pop tinged rock with a nod to Biffy & a tip of the hat to the Pixies, Weezer etc.

I Feel Alright – Blaze Blackheart
http://www.myspace.com/blazeblackheart
What starts out as a sparkling 80′s inflected synth and drum pattern evolves into a slick party tune with some excellent ‘gentleman rhymer’ lyrics over the top.

Dolly – The Vanitites
http://www.myspace.com/thevanities
Scuzzy, skiffly, bluesy guitar driven pop with a belly of fire and barely hidden intent to pillage.

Pink Radio – Hares
http://www.myspace.com/haresband
Formed by ex members of The Holloways, this is a slice of skewed pop with a dark undercurrent and a tendency to folk.
