Somebody's Child: Not so much new (currently on album number 2) but still BRILLIANT if you aren't already on them. Think Gang of Youths meets Sam Fender with an Irish heart.

Muddy Elephant: "The soundtrack to your next house party" - It's indie/pop bangers all the way from this Manchester band.

The Forensics: Proud Prestonian's The Forensics talk about their home town, NOT being lumped in with the Manchester music scene and their gritting northern indie sound.

Today's bands...

The Rooks: Home grown in Glasgow and playing not just their first set at TRNSMT but their first festival set ANYWHERE... EVER! Think big, stadium filling, anthem tunes in the guise of Kings of Leon and Stereophonics.

Dictator: A band that march to their own tune... and what a tune! Dictator are a stand out on the Scottish music scene at the moment and their new re-mix EP twists their recent releases even further!

Cliffords: A comparison to the Cardigans would be lazy... but we're going to make in anyway as there is a definite hint of that legendary band about Cliffords who bring the vibe bang up to date. A very highly rated band from over the Irish sea.

Gabby Rivers: A slight change of pace for Gabby's new tune 'Lipstick Karma' and we're loving it. Think Nirvana put through a poppy blender!

Fourmarks: How many Mark's are in Fourmarks? An important question that needed to be answered as Jim speaks to the London-based four-piece. He also chats about their new music too... obvs!
