So, there are lots of bands even I've not heard of before. Am working my way through them but looking for suggestions of stuff to see from the 300+ acts.

First bit i recommend from my browsing thus far is:
http://www.myspace.com/deastro (for fans of Radio Dept, shoegazer bits of No Age, more electronic end of Deerhunter)

also if you've not heard them before have a listen to
http://www.myspace.com/hjaltalinband (for fans of icelandic bands, Stars, swoopiness)
http://www.myspace.com/oxeaglelionman (for fans of nick cave, mars volta, theatrics)
http://www.myspace.com/catherinead (for fans of bat for lashes, patrick wolf, epic retribution)
http://www.myspace.com/theveils (crazily under-rated kiwis on rough trade)

oh and if you missed the mega 55 tracks from 55 acts great escpae playlist i (lazily, lulz) bashed together, with stuff like emmy the great on it, it's here:
