Fuck Buttons
The soundtrack to your alien abduction. You're mind will be bent and you'll never feel the same again, but you'll have a smile on your face.
Tracks: 1) Okay, Lets Talk About Magic 2) Ribs Out 3) Bright Tomorrow
Johnny Foreigner
Thick on energy, passion, spirit. Thin on exposure, tour dates in the US. Black on The Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr. White on Los Campesinos! Fast on creativity, depth. Slow on caution, fear.
Lady Sovereign
OK, so Jay-Z signed her to Def Jam, but mainstream hip-hop ain't ready for the S-O-V or UK Grime.
James Morrison
lyrics are true&raw and wonderfully soulful. Great for listening on rainy days with a cup of coffee:) listen to his album: Undiscovered

Ebony Bones
"Maximalist" brings it outlandish and over the top both on musical and theatrical terms. If you're from Britton, you're saying this ain't underground, but here on the other side of the pond she hasn't arrived... yet.
Emmanuel Jal
At the age of 7 EJ was forced to soldier for the SPLA in Sudan. His rap music is heavily influenced by the horrors that he saw and his desire to be a positive force for peace and righteousness in the world.
Fuck Buttons
don't be put off by their name, these two guys make ultra rad mind bending noise infused melodies - heavy distortion - one of the darlings of the 2008 sxsw music festival
Lily Allen
If there was a top ten list for most fun albums of the year then Lily Allen would be at the top of it. The sweet voice of this UK songstress was carried well through the summer air. - Ryan of the RSL blog
