Exit Calm - http://www.myspace.com/exitcalm
.. “Exit Calm are so far out in front of the rest of the competition at present it`s frightening. In fact, you can almost imagine bands forming in their wake as we speak.” (DROWNED IN SOUND)
" with ragged vocals and swathes of widescreen guitar effects reminiscent of early verve, south yorkshires four-piece Exit Calm have a penchant for all things epic" (Q MAGAZINE)
"You will witness something that leaves you speechless and transfixed." (GIGWISE.COM)
“Unashamedly epic, their effects-laden sound adds a wide-eyed romantic edge that is alluringly easy to lose yourself in.” (THE METRO)
"epic new single from Exit calm - were on our own" - huw stephens - (RADIO 1)

A Certain Shade -http://www.myspace.com/feelacs - Chill out to some fantastic regge hopefully in the sunny shunshine!

Hitchcock Confrirmed for the second year! www.myspacemusic.com/hitchcockmusic
"Hitchcock are possibly, probably the most exciting new band you`ll hear this year. Their lush, warm blend of electronica and indie sensibilities makes them just the refreshing blast of energy this summer needs. Think the Cocteau Twins jamming with Daft Punk in The Prodigy`s studio, with Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder making the tea. Growling basslines, soaring hooks and vocals you`ll find yourself singing all weekend – this is a band who will be equally at home on festival main stages or in grotty little after hours clubs." (Mickey McMonagle – Sunday Mail)
"I can see this being huge on our dance floors, it`s good to hear a band making something fresh and different" (DJ Dan - Promoter & DJ of Propaganda and Ramshackle)
‘Brave music made by people who never gave a fuck about what a&r people wanted. Hard hitting beats and unique vocal melodies. A bit dancey with the odd tip of the hat to 80’s synth styling – like Moby meets Scarface. Tunes!’ (Tom Clarke – The Enemy)
