Captain Black

Captain Black

folk/indie rock

"Captain Black are a unique sounding band currently dwelling in Camden Town, London. Their folky melodies, skiffle rhythms and gospel tinged choruses come together in a set of individual and modern sounding pop songs that you will not hear the likes of in any other band around. They are currently working on their debut album due for release in 2008, which is sure to carry on splitting opinions and sparking debate but is guaranteed to gain new fans and definitely won’t go unnoticed."

Santogold - Santogold

Santogold

alternative/electronic/indie/female vocalists/punk/sexy

Santogold rocks my socks. From the first track (L.E.S. Artistes) to the last (You'll Find A Way (Switch and Sinden Remix)) this album gets me in a dancing mood. Can't wait to see her live, you can just feel the energy in her music. I think she knows how to get a crowd going.
