Skyline Heroes
Genre: Rock
Who are Skyline Heroes?
Mixing the glamour of US emo heroes Panic1 At The Disco with a very British sense of rebellion, this Isle of Wight five piece represent the aggressive side of 4unsigned and the sound of a disgruntled youth in the UK today. Their polished tunes mix the sounds of disco death metal troopers Enter Shikari with a slick Americanised production style and tracks such as the amazing 'Young Guns' have already helped generate considerable interest in this hotly tipped young band...

Fox Cubs
Genre: Indie
Who are Fox Cubs?
The very definition of polished modern indie, Fox Cubs display a sharpened sense of sounds, epic hooks and subtle lyrical twists that escapes their chart based contemporaries. The evidence in hand, tracks 'Beasts Of England' and 'You Never Learn', easily equal the work of 2007's most popular alternative bands such as The Hoosiers or Pigeon Detectives, both of whom this feral fivepiece are already snapping at the heels of...

Futurecop!
Genre: Dance
Who is Futurecop!
In the race to recapture the genius of Daft Punk in their prime it may seem that the winners are the likes of Digitalism or Justice but both miss the mark when it comes to the joy of robopop. Futurecop! however, hits that nail on the head with a glorious collection of space-aged, eighties influenced dance tracks such as 'Super Saiyan' and 'It Came From Earth'…

Jackie Bad
Genre: Rock
Who are Jackie Bad?
The Oasis influence in Jackie Bad is obvious – not since the legendary Manchester band made their debut on the music scene did a bad hit the ground running with such velocity.

Miss Atlanta
Genre: Rock
Who are Miss Atlanta?

Molin Bianco
Genre: Indie
Who are Molin Bianco?
Taking their influences from all the right places - The Strokes, The Libertines, The Pogues and The Clash, Molin Bianco are still in the early stages of greatness but a talent for tunes is already evident and their rough demos hide unpolished gems such as easy hit 'I Know How It Feels', a future Top Ten indie record if we've ever heard one...
