Coming together in and around the Bristol area in late 2006, electro rock band Medallist exist as a glorious anomaly in a musical era dominated by run of the mill 'indie bands' and fly by night 'next big things'. Haunting the Bristol scene for a couple of years now these five hipsters give artpop a positively Bristol flavour.


Driving beats and synth-laden dance rhythms are overlayed with snarling guitars and vocals, complete with sleazy sneer and sweet falsettos. Medallists sound is distinctive, but within this they encompass several styles, at times producing epic psychedelic/indie rock a la Kasabian, and at others sounding like the Klaxons' cooler, dirtier big brothers. Mixing early 90s transformer sound-effects with dark and brooding moments, sometimes resembling a future Bond theme, always hard to pin down, Medallist enjoy defying what an indie rock band 'Should' sound like.


With an album in the bag and a tour looming on the horizon scheduled for October/November 2008, lock your horses up, put your space suit on and prepare to be blasted into euphoric orbit.


Haunting the Bristol scene for a couple of years now these five hipsters give artpop a positively Bristol flavour with their buzzing synths and determinedly danceable approach. Perhaps you can't wait for another Klaxons release and Hot Chip make you sick, well Medallist may well satisfy that craving. As groove laden as the greatly missed Tom Vek was but also as rocking guitars as Bloc party ever got (early on). Recording their debut album currently in the den of iniquity.

Leggo My Demo

Aug 29 2010 3:27 AM

SUPPORT THE PROJECT THAT IS BRINGING INDEPENDENT MUSIC TO THE MASSES Leggomydemo.com, the site that ranks independent music artists in real-time to give deserving artists a chance to be heard, has made tremendous progress over the past year to expose deserving artists. The site, now in beta mode, has attracted a $30k Knight Foundation grant and over 1,000 interested producers who have an interest in independent artists. The goal of the project is to create a Pandora-like app that provides free internet radio of the best independent music... but the project needs one last push to complete development. The group has raised over $10k toward their $30k matching grant but needs to raise an additional $3k by their September deadline to release the grant and complete development. Founders have opened a last resort fundraiser at www.indiegogo.com/leggo to raise matching funds and offer supporters special radio access in the premier months ahead. <I>“If we raise the matching funds we will level the playing field against major record labels. If we don't, the project probably won't be completed.�</I>, says Chris Chrebet, original founder of Leggo My Demo.<I> “Right now we are reaching out more than ever to make this a reality.�</I> All independent artists who support Chris and the Leggo My Demo platform are encouraged to donate $9 for a special 3-month access to production quality independent music and free downloads of other artists. Corporate incentives are also available. Donations can be made at www.indiegogo.com/leggo TO SUPPORT THIS PROJECT REPOST THE TEXT ABOVE AND MAKE A DONATION!

Just a quick one to say how excellent you sounded at Start The Bus at the Fear of Fiction all dayer. Despite having to play a shorter set I reckon you made yourself plenty of new friends. Looking forward to the next gig.

Hey! Great sounding gig at Start the Bus the other week. Loved all the old tunes and was especially impressed with that catchy new one you did near the end of the set. Will look out for you at Harbour Fest and Bristol Fest.
