Noisy three piece from East London. Debut album coming out on Underused Records. Dead good.

★ Pocketbooks ★
"Indie-pop of the highest order" - Penny Black Music

★ Magoo ★
Yay! 20 years in and Magoo are back. With a new record, their first in 6 years, imminent - it's reassuring to hear they are still making beautifully crafted guitar pop music.

Over the years they've released records on Noisebox Records, Chemikal Underground, Beggars Banquet, Fierce Panda, Global Warming, Series 8 Records, Elefant Records. Wowsa.

From Denmark. With Love. And loud guitars and irresistible pop tunes.

★ Milky Wimpshake ★
Milky Wimpshake are a pop punk band from Newcastle Upon Tyne. The band was formed in the early 1990s as part of the Slampt Underground Organisation scene. Recent releases have been on Fortuna Pop. Essential bloody listening.

★ Sparky's Magic Piano ★
The return, after a few years, of Sparky's Magic Piano. Sunshine pop music with a beautiful blend of electropop and dreamy guitars.

★ Charles Of The Ritz ★
From the North. An EP is coming soon on Odd Box. "They had all of our analogue gear peaking well into the red. The sound of the Mary Chain giving the Television Personalities a serious kicking" Green Door Studio

★ Methodist Centre ★
Releasing records on the uber awesome Invisible Spies imprint. Two drummers. Tons of great tunes. Super punky.

★ The Middle Ones ★
They made one of THE records of 2011. They're spell binding to watch. Gentle guitars, giggles and generally great with gorgeous harmonies.

★ Martha ★
From County Durham. Martha are super ace power pop punkers. They're gonna steal your heart. Or smash your head in with their super catchy songs.

★ Anguish Sandwich ★
A power trio from Northampton. Debut 7" coming on Odd Box soon. They're a riot.

★ The Give It Ups ★
2012 is the year of The Give It Ups. It is. Look it up. With a few releases already on Odd Box they are threatening to drop their debut album before the year is out. Part Punk. Part Pop. Super fucking awesome.

★ The Blanche Hudson Weekend ★
From Leeds. Taking the guitar drenched feedback sound and twisting it with beats, samples and girl group goodness. New single and album coming soon on Odd Box.

★ Standard Fare ★
Two cracking albums. A host of winning singles. And some of the best guitar pop of recent times. Standard Fare, from Yorkshire, are Andy, Dan and Emma. Male/Female vocals intertwine to beguiling effect.
