Standard Fare
http://www.standardfare.co.uk/
Standard Fare are one of those bands. One of those bands you can't help falling in love with after you first hear them. But you all know that already don't you? They have wowed audience at home and abroad, including playing at SXSW during the past 12 months and the band have also performed at this years Latitude and Indietracks festivals to great acclaim.
Their debut LP "The Noyelle Beat" (released on Thee SPC) has picked rave reviews:
"A riot of hormones, cut-to-the-chase lyrics, bolshie girl-boy vocals and jingle-jangle propusion...The best and most loveable aspects of indie guitar music." - The Sunday Times
"An album that is as close to perfection as you could hope for." - Artrocker
"Is it one of the best albums I've heard so far this year? Hell yeah." - The Line Of Best Fit
Kid Canaveral
http://www.kidcanaveral.co.uk/
A quartet from Scotland that over the past couple of years have released a string of irristeable 7" singles. With punchy songs about dancing, drinking and love, Kid Canaveral are one of the best new bands that the UK has produced in the last few years.
The band have just released their debut LP 'Shouting At Wildlife' to widespread praise:
BBC Radio 1 Introducing...In Scotland ALBUM OF THE MONTH July 2010
"Once in a while a band comes along that just makes your heart sing - Abba, The B-52s, The Housemartins. All created gloriously melodic pop that filled you to bursting with happiness. Kid Canaveral do the same. If there's one album you buy this year by a band you don't know, then this should be the one." - DAILY RECORD
"Like the old adage that you're never further than six feet from a rat in a major city, the feeling with this debut from the St Andrews-formed act is that you are never more than 30 seconds from a hook. Taking the best principles of pop-punk - pogo-friendly rhythms, catchy choruses and at-times frantic instrumental interplay - the four-piece put singalong, instantly memorable tunes at the core of their sound." - IS THIS MUSIC? **** (four stars)
The Understudies
http://www.myspace.com/wearetheunderstudies
The Understudies are Brian, Graeme, Bree and Kris. They've been gaining a reputation on the London indiepop scene as something of a hidden treasure during the past 12-18 months. With a sharp guitar and heartfelt songs that, at their best, recall Belle and Sebastian, The Smiths and Butcher Boy.
"...with a natural warmth and almost super human honesty, The Understudies are truly a band to fall for. [They] are one of those bands that charm you from the heart outward as soon as you hear them. Its probably down to the mixture of the authenticity of the shy, frail vocals and the raw honesty in the songs - songs of real proper love.... Live favourite 'Chip pan glam' comes across like The Smiths 'Hand in glove' via a 50's edition of Coronation Street. With nourishment for the heart and for the hips...Fabulous" - BRILL DREAM
