Oliver Sudden - "Beats and Rhymes for Croydon's sleet and grime"
Jay Gipson - "Bluesy guitarist from South London whose unique and eerie slide playing brings a fresh slant on the acoustic singer/songwriter genre."
JC's Flatline Junkies - "JC's Flatline Junkies are a unique band as they manage to take aspects from all different genres of music and mash them together forming the JC's Sound. I Think they're alright"
S.O.V - "Tight as a sandwich; a jam sandwich perhaps. The Jam are certainly alive and well when you listen to these 'oribble lot, but add a bit of thick sliced bread (wholemeal (the rhythm section)) and you come up with a slightly beefier proposition. You'd always back Weller to trample all over 'the other two', but you wouldn't bet on Weller-esque Jimmy to take on his fellow band mates. Sunsets on Vegas will steal your heart from a fruit machine"
Czagio - "We're five lads from Croydon town who have a simple shared love of great music and good, bullshit-free, rock n' roll. Simple as. "
Scott McFarnon - "Quickly gaining a reputation for the wonderful quality of his live performances across London. Harks of Jeff Buckley vocals dipped in a Van Morrison style - Astral Werks world. Expect the intimate and the beautiful next to some raw, anthemic, acoustic rock. A truly unique, signature vocal. Brutally honest and intricate."
Miss Bullet - "Dirty, Sexy, Electricity".
Martin Leay - “Billy DON'T Bragg"
Davros - "Beautiful acoustic ballads that give strength through heartbreak and heartache"
