Violent Soho (unsigned)
Another Brissie band that’s strong on the DIY ethics is Violent Soho, since forming in 2005 the band have established a reputation for blistering live shows that have made them a favourite with the Brissie rock contingent. During the latter part of 2006 the band recorded an EP Pigs & TV, which is getting plenty of airplay on 4zzz, so it’s only a matter of time before it goes national – listen out for this single Generation

Whitely
Melbourne based singer songwriter Whitley is gonna be hot…He’s already made a name for himself amongst local musos and international acts such as Calexico have hand picked him as their support act – so it’s only a matter of time before this charismatic singer crosses over into the mainstream consciousness. So we’re happy as Larry to give him a helping hand – here for you listening pleasure – Lost in Time
Red Riders (Ivy League)
Sydney locals Red Riders have come a long way since they first formed around four years ago. Inspired by a shared love for guitar driven rock and kooky beats, Red Riders deliver jangling rhythms over crunching noise that appeals to a vast audience. In their day, the band have shared a stage with The Shins, Fiery Furnaces and Franz Ferdinand. Their latest album Replica Replica has already served up a hit with My Love is Stronger than Your Love – now prepare yourself for the new single In My Sleep.

The album, titled The Rules of Nature drops in stores on June 23 – but you can get a sneaky peek of the first single – the title track – a cheeky new pholk ballad that will get your toes tapping.
