"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.

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.

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.

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

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

uber pleasant indie pop - good songwriting, nicely crafted and produced with layers of instruments: guitar, synth, strings, horns, etc. - distant and lazy vocals - they'll be at this years SXSW and should be one of the darlings of the festival

London based math rockers knit energetic guitars, harmonic chimes, with rambling base lines, and angular rhythms. Bright Eyes Make for Good Dogs stands out with its howling vocals.
