MILKY WIMPSHAKE
If you like your punk rock thrills laced with fuzzy pop melodies and intelligent, funny lyrics then Newcastle's Milky Wimpshake are the band for you. The spiritual godfathers of the North-East scene that spawned The Futureheads, frontman Pete Dale was formerly überlord of the now defunct indie label Slampt, responsible for launching a thousand fanzines and nearly as many bands, Kenickie and The Yummy Fur included. The 'Shake themselves are most often compared to the Buzzcocks and The Undertones, with a dash of Billy Bragg's lyrical gift for combining the personal and the political with a light-handed wit.

HOROWITZ
Horowitz are a lo-fi indiepop band from Stoke whose interests include drinking nice cups of tea, eating lots of Haribo, and listening to twee pop music. Yay! In 2006 they put out a home recorded collection called 'Frosty Cat Songs' with Kitchen Records (LP) and Glo-fi Records (CD.) It is important to make pop music in your bedroom. To have fun and create something you can share. It really is better to eat twinkies with your friends. DON'T STOP INDIEPOP!

THE GIVE IT UPS
The Give It Ups are one girl and three boys who play short, noisy pop songs. They sing about cats and dinosaurs and are in favour of a four-day working week. Sometimes they think they sound a bit like Beat Happening. Doesn't everyone?
