Feature Artist:
Liam Finn (Liberation)
Probably best known as a member NZ outfit Betchadupa (and a member of that family) Liam Finn has spent the last year or so noodling away in his bedroom, here, in NZ and in the UK, working on tracks for his solo album I’ll Be Lightning. Finn proves that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree – delivering up a collection of quirky soft pop rock tracks that will easily be a soundtrack for the coming summer

But it’s not just the punter that adore them – with ARIA and Best Contemporary Folk Awards being just a couple of the gongs they’ve picked up along the way.

Tilly and the Wall (dew process)
They must put something in the water in Omaha Nebraska – cause indie pop rockers Tilly and the Wall are such inventive musos. They say to get ahead in this biz you gotta have a gimmick – and Tilly and the Wall found theirs pretty early on, in the form of tap dancing band member Jamie Pressnal – but what could have been just plain silly has wound up as the band’s signature sound…
