Wolverhampton's finest, The Whiskey Syndicate release their 4th and final single from their debut album 'RIGHT SIDE OF CRAZY' on In At The Eye Records.
The single came out on Monday 20th May and is a specially edited version of the album track. It's available to download from iTunes and all other digital retailers.
Ant, Rich, Stu and Mike make up the band, who've been together since 2006.
The album is still available on CD (through iaterecords.com.)
The band have been distributed by Universal Music and appeared on many HMV shelves in the process. They sold out for the first few weeks in the Midlands stores.
You can check the band out here:
They had an amazing response from press and radio for their album, with an 8/10 review in AOR a few months back and a big feature in Drummer magazine. They've picked up national, regional and local radio plays too and played up and down the UK last year supporting their album release.
The band are now busy writing and demo-ing tracks for their second album.



Jagged Row who are based in Dallas, USA.
                                                                                   
Taking their name from the initials of their previous band name and then adding Row since Rowlett Texas was the town where they were founded, Jagged Row are now beginning to create a huge buzz on the US rock scene.
Having won the Texas Highschool Rockoff and the Berklee College Of Music International Battle Of The Bands, Jagged Row have since gone on to perform at established venues such as Whiskey A Go Go, toured on the Extreme tour, and opened for Finger Eleven, Hanson, and played with Bowling For Soup, not to mention having some of their tracks produced and mastered by Beau Hill who has worked with the likes of Alice Cooper, Warrant and Ratt.

Taking their name after watching a documentary about the Pistol Shrimp on TV which happens to be a food all band members love, Hot Pistol Shrimp have been leaving all dirty grunge rock lovers 100% satisfied once they have witnessed their live performances.
With a stage set that includes a distorted electric double bass in the middle and the drummer playing on the left rather than behind the other band members, their shows have since gone on to be the talking point in and around music venues across the South East of England.
Described as being the newest loaded cannon of Indie Grunge music to enter the underground rock circles in London, you can find out more about Hot Pistol Shrimp including details on how you can purchase their new EP titled LSD by following them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/hotpistolshrimp


Hafdis-Action Man 

Written and recorded in her own studio on the side of a mountain in Iceland, the new album reveals the Icelandic pop princess to have a wicked line in understated scorn and a vibrant streak that keeps the proceedings refreshingly off-balance.
Since she returned to live in her home country at the end of 2009, the album has been reached number 2 in the album charts and has now been licensed through 5 different independent labels for release this summer around the world (including the USA and Canada) with further releases due in China and Korea.

Fresh from her first European and UK headline tour, Manchester's soul-folk sensation Josephine keeps moving ahead with her new single and a string of high profile summer gigs. Josephine's just released debut album 'Portrait' has enjoyed a staggering array of stellar reviews and her two most recent singles 'Original Love' and 'Portrait' have been widely supported on daytime national radio. High profile TV appearances on Jools Holland and Andrew Marr confirmed her arrival as a unique and compelling new voice on the UK scene.

Already Number 1 on the iTunes World Music chart, the official video for “Antenna” has racked up more than a million views on YouTube. With one of the most joyful hooks ever, it’s impossible not to get up and dance!



Tanya Lacey – Now That You’re Gone (Out 10th June)

The new single from Bristol singer/songwriter Tanya Lacey provides a powerful and emotive vocal performance over a hip hop and soul-infused production, detailing the pain of a recent break-up. Alongside working on her own material, Tanya has recently enjoyed huge success writing and working with a wide array of established and developing artists including J-Lo, The Saturdays & Tulisa.

Style Of Eye & Tom Staar – After Dark (Out 10th June)

House juggernauts Style Of Eye & Tom Staar collaborate for this year's summer club anthem. ‘After Dark’ has had huge early support from Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Afrojack and Nicky Romero to name a few. Radio One's Zane Lowe, Pete Tong and Danny Howard have been championing the record whilst Greg James has made it his record of the week, calling it this year’s Porter Robinson ‘Language’.


Mark Knight Feat. Sway – Alright (Out 30th June)


Grammy nominated dance producer Mark Knight has teamed up with the almighty lyrical talents of leading UK rapper Sway for his latest single ‘Alright’. First released as an instrumental on Knight’s own Toolroom imprint, ‘Alright’ gained good support from Radio 1, Kiss and Capital FM and was played by every club DJ worthy of the name. But it’s the addition of Sway’s unique flow, vocal dexterity and clever word play that transforms ‘Alright’ into a certifiable club monster.


Peking Duk – The Way You Are (Out 14th 

Australian duo Peking Duk are about to shower the UK in sunshine with their debut single ‘The Way You Are’. The track is a serious summer banger with a hot vocal sample hook and guitar-line that builds and drops with crazy energy. ‘The Way You Are’ spent six weeks at number 1 on the ARIA club chart in Australia.

Tokyo Taboo

Tokyo Taboo would like to get Naked and take over the world someday...
With strong melodies, catchy hooks and a whole lot of heavy synth lines Tokyo Taboo aim to electrify!

Tokyo Taboo have also toured the US three times playing well known venues State-side such as The Viper Room and Whisky A Go Go (where they rocked so hard they are now banned from playing!) Tokyo Taboo have also been featured on National TV & Radio Shows such as The Chris Moyles Breakfast Show (BBC Radio 1), Must Be The Music (Sky 1) and Louie Spence's Showbusiness (Sky 1) 



TT recorded their latest four track EP in LA with producer extraordinaire Adam Moseley whose credits include Lenny Kravitz, Tina Turner, The Cure, The Eurythmics and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs to name but a few...

Naked showcases both the band's poppy, colourful & fun side with the EP's bubblegum title track and a darker side with He Hit Me and Sugar Lies where lyrics such as 'I kissed him to get to you/ So you'd smell him on my skin' depict how 'fucked up a relationship can become. When all you do is want to hurt each other rather than feeling nothing at all.' The EP's cover depicts Tokyo Taboo's front woman nude flying through the air suspended by metallic balloons. 'I really want to do that on one of our gigs. Fly onto stage by balloons,' the lead singer claims. 

Well, no one's stopping her that's for sure!

Naked will be available to download from March 2013. Watch this space!

Pre-release album show at London’s Borderline and nationwide Propaganda club tour also confirmed
After making a glorious return with last year’s Top 10 album ‘Cheeky For A Reason’, which received numerous glowing reviews – some of the best of the band’s career so far - and also saw them winning the Best Music Award 2012 at the Sunday Mail’s Great Scot Awards and Album of the Year 2012 at the Nordoff Robins Tartan Cleff Scottish Music Awards, The View have compiled some of their finest moments to date on the ‘Seven Year Setlist’ album which will be released on June 17th on Cooking Vinyl, the same day as their brand new single ‘Standard’.
To celebrate the release of ‘Seven Year Setlist’, The View have also just announced an exclusive one-off intimate pre-release album show in London at The Borderline on Monday 10th June, before they support the legendary Stone Roses in front of 50,000 people at Glasgow Green on June 15th. The band will also be touring throughout May and June with Propaganda – the UK’s biggest indie night.
‘Seven Year Setlist’ spans The View’s journey to date from ‘Face For The Radio’ which originally featured on their self-titled debut EP which was released in 2006 up to the present day with three new songs in the shape of the first single ‘Standard’ (out June 17th) as well as ‘Dirty Magazine’ and ‘Kill Kyle’. Along the way, it visits the #3 hit ‘Same Jeans’, ‘Wasted Little DJs’ which won Best Track at the NME Awards, another Top 15 hit with ‘Superstar Tradesman’, a Dirty Version of the ‘Which Bitch?’ album highlight ‘Shock Horror’ and ‘How Long’, the first single and opening track from ‘Cheeky For A Reason’ which was accompanied by a video starring Red Road / A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints actor Martin Compston.
"Over the years there's been four studio albums, thousands of gigs, too much vodka and loads of memories on this crazy rock n' roll journey,” says vocalist / guitarist Kyle Falconer. “So we wanted to create an album that was kinda like stopping and looking back over the years - with a few new tracks too. That’s the Seven Year Setlist.”
The new material on the album reunites the band with Owen Morris (Oasis, The Verve) who produced their Mercury Prize-nominated, #1 album ‘Hats Off To The Buskers’. The majority of the songs on the album were written by Falconer and bassist Kieren Webster, and features further production courtesy of Mike Crossey (Artic Monkeys, Foals) and Youth (Primal Scream).

Diesel13

He’s a North London boy with his feet firmly placed in Nashville.
He sounds like a cross between Johnny Cash and John Paul White from The Civil Wars.
He....is Diesel13.
Diesel is a nick name that stuck and 13 is his lucky number in case you were wondering...!
Diesel picked up the guitar at the age of 16 and as soon as he started learning how to play, his songwriting and singing followed too. He’s not stopped writing songs and now is ready to release his music for the first time.
He’s always liked a wide variety of artists like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and other music from Ryan Adams and The Civil Wars.
Two of his songs have just been licensed for the next series of True Blood. This is a great achievement for Diesel13 and one of his proudest moments so far in his career.
As with a lot of musicians at grass-roots level, Diesel grafts hard in his day job as a builder in order to pay for his recordings. It’s his grubby, rough hands featured on the single artwork for “Roar.”
He tells us, he spends a lot of time in the bath though;-)
“Roar” is a track about breaking free from your fears and not being stifled. It’s all about being yourself and being free to “roar!” and to not be imprisoned by fear.
His sound is current, his sound is raw and we guarantee you’ll be tapping your foot or clapping your hands by the end of the song.
“Roar” is the debut single from Diesel13 available to download everywhere on May 13th. It’s taken from his forthcoming album “Hobo Risin’.” The album, of course will feature 13 tracks and be released in 2013.

Currently working on two projects, one being a lush New York band combining Rap, acoustic sounds and Jazz influences, and the other an Australian based recording project for a New York dance label, Emma Sidney is now beginning to receive widespread acclaim for her voice and music.
Described as being brave, innovative and intriguing to listen to, Emma Sidney’s latest track This Just Gets Better first begun via a voice recording as a love note over the iphone.  A year later the second verse was written and shortly afterwards a band was put together to record the track, which will see her return back to the same studio this year to record more new songs.
