The Rosie Taylor Project came together in a redbrick Victorian shambles in Leeds a few years ago. Their new album 'Twin Beds' was released on to widespread acclaim in March 2012 - Produced by Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Herman Dune) and with a guest vocal appearance from Wild Beasts' singer Tom Fleming, the band have honed their chamber pop sound, expect melancholy, pop gems worthy of their influences but also marking out their own sonic territory. With radio play on 6 Music, Radio 1, Radio 2 and XFM.

Their live performances, a marriage of the musical and the cinematic, are warm, intimate and memorable. Live shows have included appearances with Camera Obscura, Midlake, Jens Lekman and Jeffrey Lewis to name but a few.

Orca Team (USA)

The Orca Team are the sound of suave- they sound like a sonar echo, debonair but deep... 20,000 fathoms deep, underwater heartbeats, a surf twang but no baggies, dress to impress, keep out of the water- I'm seeing red velvet drapes as a backdrop, bruised knees and skinned ankles, The Orca Team are in a submarine into the azure marine of the dark deep waters of every doomed lover's heart, the dangerous curve on the highway, the band that Joe Meek dreamt of but tragically never found... they are your next favourite band - A Fog Of Ideas

Young Romance

Paolo and Claire are Young Romance. They write about love and doubt and dislocation, wrapping up their words in a layer of fuzz and distortion.

The Tuts

"West London three piece buzz like a female version of the Libertines. From the same town as the Ruts, with only a letter difference, the Tuts are a bundle of attitude and suss." - some website or other
