Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

New York indie five-piece who were one of last year's biggest word-of-mouth success stories. With effervescent, tuneful, inventive songs and singer Alec Ounsworth's distinctive yelp, they look set to go overground in 2006.

Guillemots

A quartet trying to rediscover a time when good tunes and chart success could go hand-in-hand with individuality and invention.

Boy Kill Boy

Currently supporting band of the moment Hard-Fi on a UK tour, East London's Boy Kill Boy have acquired a growing following over the last few months.

Dirty Pretty Things

The buzz around Carl Barat's post Libertines excursion has become almost deafening; hopefully 2006 will see the Dirty Pretty Things finally come to fruition.

Mystery Guests

Plus the BBC Radio 1 showcase will also have a couple of very special mystery bands performing.
