The Chapman Family + Support
After the huge success of The Chapman Family’s debut single’ ‘Kids’ earlier in the year, the Teeside quartet are back with a brand spanking new track entitled ‘Virgins’. Recorded with Dan Swift (Art Brut, Kasabian, The Futureheads) this second stand out single is due for release on 12th October through Electric Toaster. 'Kids' received critical acclaim across the board and gained fans at radio in the form of Zane, Lamacq, John Kennedy and a Record Of The Week nod from Chris Martin at NME radio. 2009 has already seen the band open the NME Radar tour, support Janes Addiction at a very special secret show and tour the UK and Europe as only they know how. If you’ve been unfortunate enough to miss their trademark live shows, then catch them over the next few months…

Good Shoes + Support
Much loved Morden natives Good Shoes are back at last with the announcement of a 26 date UK tour in November and December and a free download of a new song. Eschewing the ‘big’ production path that many of their peers have followed, Good Shoes have opted for a genuine DIY ethic on the follow up to 2007’s ‘Think Before You Speak’, which has now sold over 20,000 copies in the UK (and probably been downloaded twice as many times!), recording the new album over the course of the last year in various London basements and bedrooms. The first release is ‘The Way My Heartbeats’, available at www.goodshoes.co.uk from today. In addition, the band, who were the last ever to play at The London Astoria, will embark on their first full tour since their headlining show there at the end of 2007. “We’re trying to play every place in the country basically…we’re visiting towns we've been to loads of times and also places we've never been before! Nice intimate gigs are what we've been enjoying recently so hopefully the fun will carry on!”.

We Were Promised Jetpacks, Stagecoach + Support
We Were Promised Jetpacks’ youthful energy (their average age is 21) explodes thunderously as colossal choruses fall unfailingly into place. Every space is filled, tension bristling achingly in Thompson’s vocal delivery as the rest of the band crashes around him with a perfect balance of force and harmony. The romanticism and accessibility of a pure pop sensibility is never hidden too deep. Both ‘Roll Up Your Sleeves’ and lead-off single ‘Quiet Little Voices’ capture this beautifully, immediately. The product of Ken Thomas’ (Sigur Ros, Cocteau Twins, David Bowie etc.) studio mastery and Peter Katis’ (Frightened Rabbit, The Twilight Sad, The National etc.) mixing, the recording of These Four Walls was almost entirely live, with only minimal overdubs, and the band members’ collected passion and intuition is translated into a pure, precise form.

Johnny Foreigner, Internet Forever + Lady and the Lost Boys
In 2007 Johnny Foreigner burst out of Britain’s second city amongst a hurricane of thrilling New-Wave Fight-Pop, armed with a blistering array of melodious, discordant rackets that leave an immediate, indelible mark on the brain. In the words of the band themselves: “Our album came out, the music press decided we were HOT STUFF and loads of people bought it or robbed it off the internet and said yay this is good and started singing songs back at us. Some singles fell off the album, they got played on Teh Radio and Teh Television enough to make people think we’d Made It and now took helicopters everywhere. We got very flattered indeed and spent most of the summer playing in fields or to people marginally more drunk than ourselves. It was pretty spesh.” Now, in 2009, with literally hundreds of shows under their belts alongside the likes of Idlewild, Los Campesinos, Young Knives, Blood Red Shoes, The Subways, Hundred Reasons, Dananananaykroyd, Forward Russia and many more Johnny Foreigner are back with their Alex Newport (At The Drive-In, Meet Me In St. Louis) produced sophomore album “Grace And The Bigger Picture”. A relentless blast of inventive, exciting, angular art-pop, it’s an album that will ensure Johnny Foreigner won't be strangers to you for long.

Chew Lips+ Tiffany Page
There is nothing quite usual about Chew Lips. Not their way of making music, or their live shows, or indeed, their inception. After doing the Indie Band Shuffle in previous bands, in the spring of this year vocalist Tigs and multi-instrumentalists James Watkins and Will Sanderson eventually decided to start making music together, with only one edict: not to sound like Just Another Guitar Band. With only that in mind, the trio subsequently decamped to a friend’s studio to test the waters of the Chew Lips sound. “We had no idea what we wanted to sound like, only what we didn’t want to sound like”, says Tigs. “And I think that helped us. We didn’t know what we wanted to do, so we just did everything”. The result was the organic and purely accidental evolution of their current, electronically enhanced sound. Experimenting and improvising, they wrote 10 songs that first day.

Grammatics + Support
Leeds-based Grammatics formed in April 2006 with best friends Owen Brinley and Dominic Ord deciding to form a band after the demise of Owen’s previous band Colour of Fire. The line-up was pieced together with the addition of Rebecca Dumican and Rory O’Hara and Michael Repeat. They spent the next few months writing and rewriting songs. Perfectionists to the last, the band waited until that October to begin playing live. This paid off and their live performances quickly gained them a reputation as a band to look out for on the Leeds scene. The inclusion of their track “The Shipping Forecast” as the opening track of Leeds label Dance To The Radio’s “Something I Learned Today” compilation saw them start to gain attention nationwide. Meanwhile tensions within the band, who openly admit to their fondness for arguments, were making progress difficult and in May 2007 Michael left the band to work on other things. Recently the band have continued to build on their already formidable reputation. A Japanese EP released in 2007 has now sold out, as with their debut 7” release on Dance To The Radio.
