New, Young, Local, Good, Talented bands


If you like music check out some of these bands because apart from being extremely good, their MySpaces contain details of upcoming shows which are usually dirt cheap to get into.

Harlequinn
- An All Girl band, not likely to challenge girls aloud in their territory, but their songs are amazing, ranging from heavier almost hardcore style to gentle acoustic songs about city life and expectations.

sorry, I don't mean to sound like a stupid pretentious critic!
I am in the possession of an EP , courtesy of Robyn, the drummer and the songs can all be heard on their Myspace.
unfortunately, they live in Oxford, which makes shows difficult to attend, but check them out before a label swallows them up, which can allow you to say you knew them WAY before anyone else.

Rosco McQueen - Amazingly talented musicians, and lo, they are from my school!
Brilliantly Hyper tunes, drum machines, chants of "C-H-A-V!" bright colours and all, add to the effect of agressive electro punk type.
One of my aims this summer is to see them play, so if anyone else does, go and support them!

Sketches- Previously Known As The Chase*, and Sketches In Tecnicolour, This Band is on the side of Indie, and i mean just check out the list of quotes, on their Myspace saying how good they are. They have apparently grown, and developed as a live Band, since I saw them last summer.
Recent gigs at The Loaded Dog in Leyton have gone down well among my "homies" !

We Are Not Superheroes Anymore - New Hardcore Band, with a pianist, and they are becoming BIG, just check out their tour (the list is on their Myspace)...

oh, and the drummer has the best drum kit i've seen in ages! Actually, they're pretty damn as pop as hardcore can be.

Blind Kids See Ghosts - A Bit more Hardcore, They Have good tunes, and they were good live. Some good mosh action! ye-ah! So go and see them!

anything to add?
