With an intro that falls somewhere in between that of Survivor's notorious Eye of the Tiger and Sum 41's cracking anthem In Too Deep, these bearded butterfly fellows present to us a fresh new sound that really can't be missed. And that's just the beginning! Ho ho, puns aside however I am really quite serious - just give this track (Just The Beginning) a little time and suddenly ... boom, it starts to kick in, and then? It's full steam ahead.

A dizzy and delicious whirlwind of sound, Popup's up and coming single Love Triangle proves that this Glaswegian four-piece are by no means a force to be reckoned with. Delicately mingling a little bit of Cajun Dance Party's vibrancy with an established and grandiose style quality a bit like that of Death Cab for Cutie, these super Scots really know how to make some beautiful noise.

This song transports you to a darker side of life from the eerie intro to the spellbinding end. Papa La Bas have created a magical mind twisting tour of the musical variety that will have your ears tripping out. The trip hop twosome have made a fusion of the 80's classic power ballad (I Just Died) In Your Arms by Cutting Crew and a piece of classical music called Summer Overture By Clive Mansell featured in the cult classic film Requiem for a Dream. Who would have thought such an unusual, even unthinkable, mix would work but it does with mind-blowing effects.

This is a strange one...it sounds like so many different things that it's hard to pick out any specific comparisons. Although one that does spring to mind is that vocalist Dave Human sounds not unlike Sergio Pizzorno. (Which is always good because Sergio is yummy.)

The word Operahouse reminds me straight away of the many nights spent in a night club in Boscombe many memories, but this isn't about blurry nights gurning, this time Operahouse is all about a great band who are snowballing to massive success, gaining momentum all the way. The 1st thing that really strikes me about this band is the song writing ability, especially the lyrics to their tracks. Every song is full of intelligence and a certain charisma not seen from any band in a long time. Musically these guys are very tight and their professionalism shines through each track.
