The Get Outs make loud and infectious guitar music. Their tunes will stick in your head. Their music will make you nod your head, then bang your head, then jump up and down uncontrollably like you never jumped up and down before.

“Energetic and punky with lashings of rocky guitar (like one of the MC5 after sniffing petrol) vaguely reminiscent of an updated Buzzcocks. If I was in a dark and sweaty club and this was the band playing then I would be impressed.”


The Orphans

Julian Hewings and Alexander Boag have seen it all. Founding members of These Animal Men, one of the original bands at the centre of the over-hyped and much criticised New Wave Of New Wave movement. A second go in the limelight with soul boys Mo’ Solid Gold never reached its real potential. But now they’re back, glammed up to the nines and showing their true rock ‘n’ roll roots. Surely this must be third time lucky?

“One part Cooper Clark, two parts MC5 and John Spencer Blues Explosion, three parts The Who at their meaty, beaty bouncy best, teetering on the brink of the Rock Opera abyss, glued together with Jonny Orphans fruity mugging and old-time music hall blarney.”


2hrsTEN

Take one twitching pan of indie (futureheads/forward Russia) add in slices of ethereal guitar harmonies (EITS/Sigur Ros), add a layer of vocal warmness (Elbow/radiohead) add a pinch of originality and you get 2hrsTEN. 50% strangely familiar, 50% strikingly original, 100% startlingly beautiful.

“2HrsTen actually favour venturing into unoccupied territories where the unthinkable collides with the glaringly obvious, culminating in something so indiscriminately familiar yet breathtakingly original"
