O2 Academy Glasgow, GlasgowThere's no better time than now to become a Justice fan. However, the band’s passionate Internet fan base might disagree, as they have been supporting the two Parisians since their rise to popularity in 2007 with "D.A.N.C.E”(an infectious and energetic single featuring feminine vocals and fast-paced rhythm). Online support aside, the release of Audio, Video, Disco, in late 2011, has brought the band into an unprecedented maturity. Many questioned whether they would be able to follow up + (Cross), their debut album, with something equally compelling. They haven't. They’ve…
Combining the raw energy and passion of punk with infectious melodies and pop sensibilities, New Found Glory have long been considered one of the primary contributors in shaping the modern pop/punk sound. Since their formation in 1997, New Found Glory have released 7 albums, many of which have since went gold and and all of which have succeeded in cementing their role as one of the seminal figures in modern day punk rock. Their latest album, titled Radiosurgery, saw the band return to a more classic punk rock roots sound, paying tribute to the bands that influenced them to form in the early 9…

2011 and has been a triumphant year for twenty-three year old Ben Howard. With catchy single "The Wolves" he caught the attention of potential fans away from his growing fan base in Devon and Cornwall - Howard being both a Totnes resident and former Falmouth University student - due to extensive plays on both national radio and TV. Through this song he proved that comparisons to the lengendary John Martyn was just, but also that he should not be dismissed as just another new folk act on the scene. Debut album "Every Kingdom, released just last November, is sure to place him firmly in the publi…

After its release on iTunes it reached No.3 in the UK Singles Charts. Charlene is set to release her debut album ‘Moonchild’ on 21 November 2011, which will feature “Wherever You Will Go” as a bonus track.

Charlene will be finally headlining her own UK tour star…
Grouplove is a relatively new American Indie rock band, thrust into the spotlight in 2011 with the release of their debut album ‘Never trust a happy song.’ The second single from the album, ‘Tongue tied’ reached number 16 on the US Alternative Billboard chart. The band was formed in Greece during a summer vacation, when the five members, Christian Zucconi, Sean Gadd, Hannah Hooper, Andrew Wesson and Ryan Rabin met and began making music together. After the holiday was over, it was decided that they shared such a creative bond, that they should all relocate to Los Angele…
The Arches, GlasgowBand of Skulls is an alternative garage rock band from England. They originally performed as Fleeing New York before becoming Band of Skulls in 2008. The band formed when Russel Marsden, Emma Richardson and Matt Hayward met in college and connected over their shared love of music.

They are planning to release their latest album, “Sweet Sour” in February, 2012. Like their first album, “Sweet Sour” is fi…
Rebecca Ferguson, a singer songwriter from Liverpool first caught public's eye in 2010 when she was fighting her way to the stars in the popular star search show The X Factor, where she finished as a runner-up. Her astonishing vocal abilities and unique character quickly gained the sympathy of the public. Overtly shy, but incredibly talented, Rebecca Ferguson prophesied her success with the first audition song she performed: "The Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke. Not winning the title didn't stop her from pursuing her dream to perform. Her debut single "Nothing's Real but Love", which she co…
