Neil's Children

The Self Preservation Society

Neil's Children

They're causing an amazing stir everywhere. They had the standout track on the NME 2004 'cool-list' CD by a mile and they've just signed to Alan McGee's Poptones label. Oh and they hate Models.  Raw guitar, psychedelic tinged punk, they sound like early Cure, Wire and Adam and the Ants.  Looking like Grange Hill punks, they must be seen as well as heard.

Rebus

Rebus

They're all over Reading like a rash and soon to go a lot further. Steve Lamacq loves their debut single Daylight Fading, has played it on his BBC 6 Music show and XFM have been falling over themselves to plug it.  Described as "a musical amphetamine hit" and the "deranged love child of Joy Division and the Voidoids" by Josaka.com the single (out on their own SugarRush Label) has been described a throbbing blast of disco-cum-garage-punk that magically attaches strings to your feet and makes them dance.

Elle Milano

Fast, Furious and so unbelievably catchy. Elle Milano write what have been described as the most perfect pop songs you will hear whose sound has been likened to a tempestuous marriage between Blur and Robert Smith.  Ultra cool, without even trying.  Guitars, noise and great songs.
