Paul Hawkins & Thee Awkward Silences
Dark, creeping and melodramatic. fuzzy synths, lurching bass lines and chilling vocals. Its like some kind of Jack the Ripper back alley vaudevillian nightmare.

Docksud
Emotional, sweeping shoegaze with yearning and wailing vocals and engulfing guitars emitting spine-tingling melodies.
www.myspace.com/docksud
Blue Condition
Swampy psychedelic blues that echo Cream and Hendrix. Finger tangling leads and dirty bass lines, dig out the whisky and wait for that purple haze.
