Unsigned Heroes

“Unsigned – but not unsung”

We’re chipping away at the MySpace rockface, chunk by chunk. Hoping to find the next Cullinan diamond.  

 The unsigned, just signed and should-be-signed bands of 2009.
Supersonic shizz crashing through the sound barrier.

The Sea: The ghost of Jimi Hendrix hovers approvingly above this talented pair of Cornish brothers. Simply amazing live.

Exile Parade: Northern boys know how to make a noise. Enough said. We love ‘em. .

The Black Marquee: Hold the front page! Manchester does Boho! It’s all Jagger pouts, velvet pantaloons and Arthur Lee flower-power vocals over creamy Cream riffs. Cool maaaan.

Mexico Indigo: The melancholy acoustic magic of this track sits in stark contrast with the remainder of the bands punk-influenced repertoire. But like a lone star in an indigo sky, this twinkling anomaly makes for wistful change-of-season listening.

i AM BODHi: They tell us they are just ‘fucking sweethearts’. We can’t vouch for that, but they are rock. With a capital R.
