ED SHEERAN
Let It Out
He says: A blend of acoustic and folk with hip hop beats. Ed has supported many well-known acts including Nizlopi, Gabriela Cilmi, Josephine Oniyama, Jay Sean and Mongrel. He has collaborated with Scorcher, Thomas Jules, Slix and Wretch 32, and worked with a variety of producers and song-writers including Goldie, Amy Wadge, Si Hulbert and Jake Gosling.

We Say: Ah! The lovely Ed Sheeran, a great performer, lovely person and beautiful song writer- definitely: one to watch! The track Let It Out is a gentle, summery song, well written and constructed. You’ll have it on repeat a few times! We also love The City ft Scorcher which you can check out on his myspace.

THE INTERPRETERS
Actions Not Words
They say: Pleasantly startling audiences with an engaging stage presence, They draw their influences from an eclectic pool of artists, ranging from The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, to James Brown and Marvin Gaye. 2008 has seen The Interpreters play alongside The Holloways and many other top names. They also featured as guest artists on the 2009 Atom Live Tour.
We say: A catchy, indie pop tune but as with many of their tracks it stands out of the crowd with its mature and intelligent songwriting. Check out their iTunes release Shadows Whisper. We also love For You which you can hear a preview of on their myspace.

LEE HARRIS MEETS RIVER STYX
Welcome to Psy School 2
They say: A mesmerising journey of psychedelic soundscapes. From Jazzed-out electronica, spiritualised big beat and intense eclectic hip hop.
We say: The contrasting vocal styles of Lee Harris and River Styx complement each other on this mini musical journey. Also have a listen to The Spiritual Kid.

KATIE SKILLING
Memory of Me
She says: A sincere and emotional range to her writing that allows her to be both English rose and vaudeville dame, with songs like Girl Like Me and In a Violent Way.
We say: A mellow and complimentary infusion of rock and pop with elements of folk and country. We also like Anti Social Behaviour and Newspaper Coffee Cups.

GUTWORM
Scrape The Blood
They say: Polished, contemporary blasts of riff-laden death/grind fury. It’s now time for a fresh blasphemy in the form of Disfigured Narcissus, recorded by Greg Chandler of Northern doomsters Esoteric and mastered by Russ Russell.
We say: Awesome guttural death metal forging a headgrinding, floor-shaking, bass drum pedal-laden homage to the extreme sonic arts.

THE RRRS
Forbidden Kiss
They say: The Rrrrrrs, which is pronounced with a sexy guttural roll of your tongue, play uplifting songs about boring nights out, unfaithful women, the credit crunch and transcendental happiness.
We say: Pop indie music with a great twist coming from Sharzilla’s quirky Gwen Stefani South east Asian inspired and influenced vocals. Also love the pacey tune Credit Crunch on their myspace.

MR & MRS
Let's Go Dancing
They say: Only together for a very short time, they have already achieved so much: they’ve been to Nashville to record an album, played countless number of gigs across the country, been made into comic book characters, made 3 music videos and had their music played on Steve Lamacq’s show as well as Huw Stephens.
We say: Phew. What achievements so far, and this is no exception to their success! The track is featured on their debut album Odd’s and Ends which presents an exciting mix of folk, rock and indie ballads.

GECKO
The Library
They say: Acoustic music influenced by dance cultures across the globe including hip hop, reggae and Afro beat all tied together with a punk rock ethic and a very British wit.
We Say: The Library reflects the obscure and witty twist which Will (frontman to Gecko) applies to his lyrics. As well as fugitive gorillas and guanbana juice, Will also writes about life, love and friendship. His second album Songs in the Key of Lizard is out on iTunes now.

EYAL SHAVIT
Reggae Party
He says: Born in Israel and fascinated by music from the age of 4, quickly discovering bands such as The Beatles, Queen and ELO, Eyal did his national service in the Israeli army in a musical group, entertaining the soldiers. In 2004 Eyal moved to the UK and he is currently writing and recording his own material.
We say: Catchy as anything! This track longs for sunshine, barbeques and beaches - pure reggae with some excellent guitar riffs jammed in the middle. We look forward to more music from this artist.

LISA REDFORD
When You Come Home
She says: Delicate acoustic Americana pop with heartfelt lyrics, gorgeous melodies and stunning vocals. Her track Dragonfly was played on a 'Best of British' special which featured the best British songwriters and 'Whispering' Bob Harris has described her as 'one of our finest singer/songwriters'.
We say: When You Come Home demonstrates both her powerful and soulful vocals and her maturity as a songwriter. The track comes from the album Clouds with Silver which is available to buy now from iTunes.

KASHA
You Have A Choice
He says: Serious stories of his surroundings, the problems in the world and his dreams, throwing in some fun every once in a while. Unlike most hip hop the music is melody driven, choosing only the most energetic or soulfulness of beats. His style of rap is warm yet raw, emotional yet punky.
We say: Kasha is taking the UK by storm, one to watch for 2009. The rather haunting feel of the melody reflects kasha’s thought-provoking lyrics as he sings of youth and weapons, graced throughout by the beautiful vocals of Iman.
