Machine Guns & Motorcycles who are based in Indianapolis, USA

 

Taking their name from lead singer Wayne Griffith’s fascination with World War 2 and motorcycles, Machine Guns & Motorcycles have quickly gained a name for themselves in their hometown and beyond through their high energy performances and catchy songs.

Since their formation in October 2012, the band have already supported national and international bands such as Faster Pussycat and The Art from Australia to name but a few.  In addition to this they have received favourable reviews in their local press as well as being interviewed and played on a number of radio stations across the USA.

Machine Guns & Motorcycles have recently released their new album titled Welcome To The New Revolution.  Details on how you can purchase this along with forthcoming gig dates can be found on their website www.machinegunsandmotorcycles.com or you can follow them on Facebook 

Roberta De Francia who is based in London, England 

 

After singing and playing guitar from the age of 9 and playing in different musical projects ranging from Classic Acoustic to Jazz, this versatility has brought rich sonorities and a wide range of influences to Roberta De Francia’s music.

Her popularity gained through performing at a number of high profile festivals resulted in her successfully reaching her target through self-funding website PledgeMusic enabling her to record her second album in August 2012.  This was swiftly followed up by winning the Best Funk Music Video at the Akademia Music Awards for her song Pitch Patch.

Quoted as being a refreshing and uplifting blend of alternative, acoustic and Jazz melodies, you can find out more information on Roberta De Francia by visiting her website www.facebook.com/robertadefrancia

BOMBS is a 6 piece UK based Soul/Rock band with influences of Electronica, Trip-hop and Turntablism We put a modern spin on our love of old records from the 30's through to the 70's, combining it with the styles of Radiohead, Beck, Bonobo, Black Keys and 90's Hip Hop. From a melting pot of styles we hope this new genre will excite the listener and bring our music to large festival audiences and the forefront of cutting edge music in the UK and overseas

 

ITAMAR - Patience. Out Jan 27th 2014.

The voice of new music in Scotland Jim Gellatly calls their singer the "Israeli Morrissey" - and now Itamar are presenting a brand new single.

The anticipated indie pop track ‘Patience’ is due later this month.

It consists of uncompromisingly beautiful intertwined melodies on the guitar, backed with a blissed-out padding on the synth and organ, carried along with pounding drums and a matchless vocalist.

When the song passes its cloudbursting zenith and comes to an end - the urge to listen again is fuelled.

It is a finessed piece of songcraft which incorporates rock’n’roll’s past into a very modern affair.

The London-based four-piece consist of frontman Itamar, lead guitar and synth player Fabien, as well as Rew on bass and Pavel on drums.

Itamar, who the band is named after, has also drawn comparisons with the likes of David Bowie and Jarvis Crocker after airplay on more than 50 radio stations in the United Kingdom.

DJs and listeners across BBC Radio 6 Music, Kerrang! Radio, Amazing Radio, BRMB and more have praised the work of the band.

Chris Straw, of Bauer Media Group, who own Kerrang! and Q Magazine said: “I hear more in this every time I hear it, as well crafted song that takes you on it’s own three minute journey.”

Having taken to the stage alongside genre-giants The Cribs, The Charlatans, Lightning Seeds and The Magic Numbers - Itamar are ascending the proverbial music career ladder.

And they have just wrapped up their tour supporting chart-topping British rockers Suede.

The debut album was funded via a campaign on Pledge Music - a website allowing viewers to buy ‘pledges’ from the artist to help finance their project.

A pledge can consist of an award, such as a signed copy of the album upon its completion.

The album ‘Reason To Deny’ is out on February 17th (with a launch gig at the Camden Barfly on the same day), with the single 'Patience' due on January 27th. (pre order from Jan 13th)
