Next up are Last Gang, and although their musical influences are worn predominantly on their sleeves, their whole presence displays an air of confidence that merely eschews the 'when' not 'if' to their arrival into the big league.
While their potential was evident six months ago, one felt that they may have been swept away with the tide of bands steeped in classic British post-punk tradition. But, of course, there is one major sticking point that Last Gang have over most of their rivals in that every song could be a single in its own right. From the opening 'Show Me' and Kristian Walker's and Matt Smith's Jones-to-Strummer call-and-response vocal stylings on the tale of drunken shenanigans that is 'Beat Of Blue' - a ska-laced punk-pop ditty that simply begs to be shouted at football stadiums from Peterhead to Portsmouth - Last Gang could very well be the last line in classic anglicised day-in-the-life summaries for quite some time.

Jimmy the Squirrel is a 5 piece ska punk band from London/Nottingham, taking influences from ska, punk and reggae bands from all over the world. Having played together since February 2005 the band's sound has evolved through punk and ska into a more stripped down ska/reggae/punk sound in the vein of Bedouin Soundclash, Babar Luck, and the King Blues. Jimmy's formative months saw regular gigs and parties in Nottingham which branched out to other cities and areas as the band's confidence and momentum grew, taking in gigs with The Big, King Blues, Catch-It Kebabs, Fandangle, P. O Box and Mouthwash, and a tour with Babar Luck along the way
Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too!
The subtle dynamics in their songwriting of JOHN and JEHN and the balance between chaos and beauty and the mastery of heartbreaking melodies Expect beautifully skewed hymns in the key of Serge Gainsbourg. http://www. myspace. com/johnjehn
Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it. www. myspace. com/theresearch
