PRESS/RADIO

www.kerrang.com
What I remember of Kerrang! when I was a kid was a magazine full of poodlerock poseurs like Def Leppard. Strangely enough things have come round full circle and bands that sound like Sheffield’s finest are being lauded once more! Kerrang is now the biggest-selling music mag in the UK and surprisingly has a very open review policy - so far, they have awarded both The Scaramanga Six & Galitza four of their sacred ‘K’s each. Keep it up corporate friends.

Sandman run magazines in Sheffield, Leeds, Hull, York and Nottingham - all of which are equally cool and all of which feature and highlight all manner of regional and national music activity in a refreshingly competent way!

BANDS

www.thresearchgopop.com
The Research will probably be huge. Their utterly infectious music should ensure that will not be able to forget them - even if your brain was erased with mind rubbers.

www.falconetti.co.uk/
Falconetti - star wars influenced sound-scapes with samplers and trumpet

www.christt.com
The inimitable Chris T-T first came to our attention with his excellent album ‘The 253’. Soon after that a single called ‘Eminem Is Gay’ came out - can’t fault the lad.

www.yellowshopproductions.co.uk
Home of THE BILDERBERG GROUP - Not the mysterious organisation formed by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands in 1952, but instead it’s Leeds’ finest country pop tunesmiths. Check out ‘Good Bad’ as part of Wrath Super Sevens 2003 and I guarantee you will be cheered up.

www.mamascuba.co.uk
The Scubas have been peddling their Yorkshire/Scouse crossover of angular indie pop for a few years. They have a penchant for cardboard boxes, very loud live shows and their drummer looks like a James Bond bad guy.

Cayto are Great-o and they come from Glasgow. Live shows include maniacal piano playing, big fuzzy wigs and toy police helmets.

www.instantspecies.co.uk
These Huddersfield popsters are so tall that they can easily look over walls, touch ceilings, browse on tree leaves and develop their own climate.

top pop band from the big smoke

www.bigjoan.com
Bristol’s very own breakbeat dirge-merchants. Excellent live performers and healthily obsessed with PiL’s Metal Box album.

www.beachbuggy.co.uk
Any band with two drummers, four sets of personalised jumpsuits and a motorised dodgem car are surely worthy of interest.

www.cardiacs.com
One of the most insane and beautiful bands that have ever existed. Visit the site and kiss the big ugly shark. Look out for future collaboration between Cardiacs main man Tim Smith and our very own The Scaramanga Six.

 

LABELS
