Pocketbooks
Gorgeous autumnal songs from a London band who remember when indiepop knew how to sparkle. Their melodic pop songs are reminiscent of The Sundays, The Housemartins and Everything But The Girl. Their recent album 'Carousel' is available now on Odd Box Records.
"This is Bacharach, and this is Bob Stanley. This is all those 60s pop groups who never aspired to be as cocky or salacious as The Shangri-La’s.” Everett True, Collapse Board
“Straight out of the Go-Betweens/Postcard Records school of dragging the sweet/sour 60s into the modern recording studio, glorious melodies and boy/girl harmonies replete.” Sweeping The Nation

Colour Me Wednesday
Upbeat, spiky, eminently dance-able pop-punk from Uxbridge. The DIY four-piece have released an EP and are currently working on their debut album.
"Everything about this song - from the title right down to the toy drums is perfect. I demand you play it around 20-25 times in a row." A Layer Of Chips

Markie Plays Girlpop!
Sheffield-based sparkly pop tunes from the Parallelograms and Velodrome 2000 guitarist.
