Aquilas Kiss
"Home"
Listen on Myspace
Big, brooding rock track, laced with a touch of soul that sounds better with each listen. It's not too hard to imagine this being belted out in front of a stadium or festival crowd.

Bohemian Mods
"Sail Away"
Listen on Myspace
Hailing from Sheffield - there must be something in the drinking water up there with so much great music coming out of the place. And here's some more. A heady soul/funk sound that you just know would sound fantastic live.

Dancing Lotus
"Three Kinds of Love"
Listen on Myspace
They describe their musical style as a mix of rap, acoustic and funk. It sounds complicated but works amazingly well on this track coming across like Gnarls Barkley crossed with Maroon 5.

John Carson
"Thousands & Thousands Of Things"
Listen on Myspace
This is what's known as a real grower. The polished production and musicianship suggests that John has what it takes to reach a wider audience. I really like the drumming in this one as well!

Stealing Signs
"Green Weekend"
Listen on Myspace
Reminds me of a lot of the indie music I listened to growing up. For nostalgia alone they have found a place in my top 5, but this is also a great tune that wouldn't look out of place in a Bloc Party set.
