The Brian Jonestown Massacre
The brainchild of musical genius (or arrogant mad-man, depending on your perspective) Anton Newcombe, the Brian Jonestown Massacre are the most prominent of modern sixties revivalists. They are perhaps best known to the wider world through their appearance in the rockumentary 'DIG!' in 2004, which also featured fellow psychedelic rockers The Dandy Warhols; but are known to music fans for their volatile and erratic live performances. Despite seeing through over 30 members and various break-ups, the Brian Jonestown Massacre continue to tour excessively and are planning to release their 12th studio album in early 2008 via Anton's own 'a records' label. A rough mix of this album was made available for free download on their website in September 2007. »

Black Mountain are: Stephen McBean, Amber Webber, Matt Camirand, Jeremy Schmidt, Joshua Wells.
The band formed in 2004 and released their first album, Black Mountain, in 2005 to widespread acclaim. Essentially the 'front line band' for what's known as the Black Mountain Army, Black Mountain's many members can also be found in bands including Lightning Dust, Pink Mountaintops, Blood Meridian, Mission of Christ and Jerk With A Bomb.
The band's 'Stay Free' featured on the soundtrack to Hollywood blockbuster Spider Man 3, and their second album, In The Future, is released in January 2008.

The Verve
"I can name you 50 bands who are doing OK now and in two years they will be forgotten. History will forget them. But history has a place for us. It may take three albums but we will be there."
The arrogance of this sentiment earned Richard Ashcroft ridicule and condemnation when he said it in 1993.
His band, The Verve’s third album was Urban Hymns.
With Urban Hymns, and with 'Bittersweet Symphony' and 'The Drugs Don’t Work' in particular, The Verve found their place in history; they can claim a good place in any arguments over best album of the nineties and would put up a damn good fight for the best album ever crown.
There is however far more to them than their final masterpiece. The earlier work on A Storm In Heaven and A Northern Soul reveals more of The Verve as a convention-challenging, genre-bending group of musical innovators, at the heart of which were the twin genii of Ashcroft and guitarist Nick McCabe.
It was McCabe’s guitar that made The Verve different: his myriad influences (The Durutti Column to Joy Division via Hendrix and Pink Floyd) and refusal to simply repeat lines generated an almost psychedelic ambience and incredible sense of energy. With McCabe, The Verve created a colossal effects laden wall of sound described by Ashcroft as a "whole new universe".
It’s a good analogy, as there is something "universal" about the sound. It is huge, daunting and slightly frightening, it’s also just that little bit prog.
Of course, the presence of two such talents within a group caused repercussions and after initially splitting following A Northern Soul, only to reform for Urban Hymns, the Verve split for good in 1998 after its release.
Couldn’t really go out on a better album could they?

I love playing and listening to new people who send a shiver down my spine
Friendly Fries
Friendly Fires are comprised of Ed Mac, Jack Savidge and Edd Gibson.
Formed out of the ashes of ‘First Day Back’, the St Albans hardcore band, they formed while still at school. Friendly Fires make razor-sharp post-punk that burns through the memories of all the dismal, skinny jeaned ‘80s revivalists you’ve been hearing these past few years. Sounding brittle, knotty and urgent, Friendly Fires are the real deal. With no fat or padding on them at all, their songs possess an elegant sparseness.
As guitarist Edd Gibson notes: “The hardest thing I think is to know what to leave out, to know when something is enough.” But amongst all the stripped-back twists, there are also moments full of deep, blessed-out melodies. “I love lush, massive, tingly chords; the My Bloody Valentine sound,” says bassist and singer Ed MacFarlane.

The Cave Singers
Seattle's The Cave Singers bring forth a rural blend of homespun mystery and "folk music approached by way of punk rock, or an updated version of the 'Anthology Of American Folk Music'" says local paper Seattle Weekly. Rising from the ashes of Pretty Girls Make Graves after their disbandment in 2007, former PGMG-member Derek Fudesco teamed up with Pete Quirk (of Hint Hint) and Marty Lund (of local band Cobra High) to form the band. You might hear bits of Calexico, Iron & Wine, Devendra, or Lindsey Buckingham in their dense and eerie sound. Singer Pete Quirk's appealingly nasal voice simultaneously echoes Arlo Guthrie and a mosquito's buzz!
