Smallgang http://www.myspace.com/smallgang

Sounding something like Johnny Cash fronting Sonic Youth or Smog's Bill Callahan holding his own in front of Dinosaur Jr, anyone who loves exciting and intelligent rock music will find something to love in the repertoire of Smallgang. The band have just recorded their 2nd album and it is being mixed as we speak. Early listens would suggest a HIT!

One of the best bands in London-awesome crazed solo's, pretty indiepop harmonies and killer distorto pop tunes!

" Sunny punk songs and precious lullabies that flash by in 60 seconds yet never leave your head." The Windmill

Having performed live on Radio One, had a Record Of The Year in Rolling Stone, an Album Of The Day on 6Music, released one of the first ever viral videos, toured up and down the UK and even featured in an Edinburgh Fringe Festival show, and all while maintaining complete independence from record labels, Hibbett is old school indie, belligerently optimistic, and will have a pint.

BAANEEXhttp://www.myspace.com/baaneex
Make fun, tunesome, rawcore noises; avant garde pop-punk ditties; post-rock dib-dabs and mellow, pensive warbles. Formed on February 12th 2010 the four-piece take in a diverse range of influences and sellotape them together into songs about Dracula, Dracula and swans.
