Let’s get it are a rock/pop band from Dayton, Ohio. They fuse great vocal melodies with powerful and catchy pop/club instrumentations. They’re what you want to hear when your at a party when you wanna dance. Each song from these guys sounds different and has a unique quality which really stands out from the masses. It’s great to hear a band that don’t confine themselves. Let’s get it are fresh and a welcome change from a lot of music out there at the moment. Check them out!

‘K T Tunstall is the first obvious comparison when you listen to Jem Cooke. The English answer maybe? But we are not here to compare and contrast, Jem is surely soon to be THE unsigned female artist to be heard singing at the heels of the current ‘best’. With a voice to soothe and compel her audience, she sings to the sound of crisp guitar played by ‘Dangerous Dave’. Now living in London after a short time in New York, Jem is on the fast track to fulfilling her dreams of fame and the big stage. She’s definitely one of the best voices I’ve heard in a while. Definitely worth checking out.

Look! I’m A Ghost are a great 5-piece pop-punk / rock band from Surrey,UK. Musicscoop.net says “Look! I’m A Ghost have followed up last years “Saved By The Bell” with a track that proves that rather than being a lightweight imitation of some of the more renowned names of their genre they too can write songs with enough lyrical substance to propel them further into the affections of many this year”. I decided to use a musicscoop.net review for this band, because they describe them perfectly. This band are definitely worth listening to, and seeing live!

A five piece band from Portsmouth, Hampshire, Cut The Blue Wire are making a name for themselves around the UK. XFM say the band has ‘Sentiments of At The Drive-In, the soul of Enter Shikari and the twister ambience of Bloc Party’, all making a powerful combination! Cut The Blue Wire have some great upcoming shows over the next few months; the latter part of the tour will coincide with the band releasing their debut E.P ready for summer!

Status Green are a Pop / Rock band from New Jersey. This band have a good energy to their music, and boast great melodies and powerful, catchy vocals. You can hear early punk influences in their songs, which gives them an edgy feel, however they still maintain a fresh popy sound. What I like about this band is they mix well established genres but still manage to sound origional; Lets hope we hear more like this!

Stickboy classes himself a ‘Melodramatic Popular Song / Folk / Indie’ artist. Hailing from Manchester, with its already well established music scene, Stickboy seems to be getting a name for himself on the circuit. His music is reminiscent of artists such as The Shins, and is something you could easily listen to on a summers day. He has a new limited CD album coming soon called ‘Under The Sleepy Moon,’ and can also be found on iTunes. He’s definitely worth listening to, and as summer approaches, I know for certain he’ll be on my playlists!
