The Harlots
Rock n Roll 4 piece straight out of London town. Loads of energy and plenty of hit singles up their sleeves.
In 2 years have performed at Camdens legendary Koko twice, toured across Europe and smashed the London circuit.
Just finished recording the debut album with Top 10 producer Rory Atwell (Palma Violets/Vaccines) .
“Top 5 best gigs at the club in the last ten years” (DEATH DISCO)
“Huge energy, like The Vaccines and The Strokes in their early days” (UML)
----------------------------------------------------
Kazo
Four young men from Stockport near Manchester who are playing it the old fashioned way. Learning their trade like the best bands did in the 60’s, playing gigs, where ever they can, crafting their live shows. Think early Led Zeppelin, mixed with The Red Hot Chilli Peppers with a sprinkling of Radiohead and you have some idea of what the guys are about.
In just under a year Kazo have been featured on countless radio stations in the UK, including the coveted ‘future classic’ slot on the North West’s largest rock station Real Radio XS performed at festivals and gigs around Manchester including an after show party for Noel Gallagher in Liverpool.
“Kazo’s songs stand by themselves. They’re dynamic and unequivocally unique. …. a band to watch out for.” - Dan Broad (Producer ofHappy Mondays, Peter Hook, Badly Drawn Boy, Johnny Marr).

Rosie & The Goldbug
Cornish purveyors of hectic electronica Rosie & The Goldbug are roaring into 2015 with a new record deal, live dates and a brand new single; 'Running In The Dark’. Drawing on the vintage eccentricities of Alison Goldfrapp and Kate Bush and dripping with insanely catchy pop hooks, 'Running In The Dark' is released on May 4th via Public Recordings. The brainchild of lead singer and keyboard player Rosie Vanier and named after an Edgar Allen Poe story, Rosie & The Goldbug first came to the nation's attention whilst still in their teens, with the release of their critically acclaimed debut, 'Rosie & The Goldbug’ Throughout 2015 the band will be taking their new songs on the road.
“Somewhere between Siouxsie & The Banshees and Cyndi Lauper having a sing-off with Kate Bush.” Q Magazine
“A throwback to more interesting times.” Simon Price, The Independent
"Kate Bush on crack with Goldfrapp on synths." The Guardian
