An amazing selection of the best acts in new music in association with The Catapult Club and DP Management.
Janice Graham Band : “MANC act cause an absolute riot on stage at This Feeling” (Big In 2012” event) – The Sun. Also playing HMV Next Big Things 2012 and recommended highly to catch up close a.s.a.p. JGB are coming to a much bigger stage soon. New single, ‘No Money Honey’ ( 20th Feburary ) and debut (concept!) album, ‘Its Not Me’ (27th February).
“Manchester’s Janice Graham Band whip up a truly exhilarating festival atmosphere within seconds of taking the stage. With a strut and a swagger that belies their tender years, the band crash through a catalogue of expertly crafted ska/soul-infused romps and the effect is simply riotous – like The Specials for a new generation.” (Music News).
“They are much much more than just another bunch of mancunian council house riff-raff, they’ve got attitude aplenty and hearts full of soul” Mani (Stone Roses)
The Rimes :
“Not genre fuelled, but music driven.’ - this pride of the Midlands outfit are on the rise courtesy of their Sixties tinged power pop and fervent fan base packing out venues and creating an early buzz.
The Traitors Club :
"We are The Traitors Club, a London foursome - hot off the back of jam sessions with Doctor Who and breakfast with Black Sabbath, - showcasing our new material wherever we can”
