Choir of Young Believers
Choir of Young Believers’ songs sound as if they’re coming straight from the heart of the two song writing brothers Jannis and Noya Makrigiannis; the music itself sounds equally heartfelt and thoughtful. The songs build up slowly, constantly adding one brilliantly clear element after another to end in intense (often loud) climaxes. Choir of Young Believers are an example of the singer song writer genre taken far above the coffee house chain friendly level, to become grander, more unorthodox and much more insisting.

Good Times Good Times
Is the moniker used by a darkly handsome man simply known by the name Franc. He writes the lyrics and tunes for the bluesy/ folky songs Good Times Good Times play at times in the shape of a 4-5 man band and other times acoustically.

I Got You On Tape
Imagine you’re sitting in a luxury car, insulated from the city out side by that particular quietness.. I Got You On Tape are a bit like this; their dark, smooth sound insulates the listener from the outside.The melodies are strong and shift between hard guitar driven and more trippy organ based. Lead singer Jacob Bellen’s voice is deep and warm, and the inner city poetic songs slide softly in the most beautiful manner. This is rock in the vein of Interpol, but with a distinctive introspective Danish touch.

The Lofty Heights
The brainchild of a Californian transplanted in to worn down Dalston, Greg Griffin's London project The Lofty Heights revolves around the genius idea of combining the laid back sounds of his native state with the traditional folk song of the East End. The results are rather spectacular; wistful surf dirges that talk about lost loves, home sickness and the ancient people of France, that all have a cockney sing-a-long quality about them. A bit like the Shins deciding to cover Chas and Dave songs.
