Making Waves

RAZMATAZ LORRY EXCITEMENT
What?: Epic electronica.
Live: A guy that doesn't look up for all the complicated mchinery he has to operate at mad speed.
Listen to: The Biggest Waste Of 33 Minutes

READER'S WIVES
What?: Upbeat, jokey ska. Their track, 'Mother Russia' goes a bit Primal Scream/'You Shook Me All Night Long', but generally this is just good entertainment.
Live: Lots of 'too-much-information' jokes between very tight performances.
Listen to: Sexually Attracted To Myself for jokes, Cavan Cola for feel.

RUM SHEBEEN
What?: Generic post-Libertines stuff (down to the Pete Doherty's guitar). At best, fast-paced, quirky off-beat ska. At worst, slow, long and generic.
Live: They go down well with the scenesters.
Listen to: Curly Song and Lock A Monkey Up

THE SMALL SCREEN LIGHT SHOW
What?: Indie, jerky, pop. A million and one bands sound like this, but it's pretty good stuff.
Live: A bit like watching your mates' band, but it's pretty tight stuff.
Listen to: I'm Too In Love

THE VALKARYS
What?: Very retro. They basically sound like The Kinks/The Yardbirds, with a twist of fifties rock'n'roll.
Listen to: Candy Girl

THE MEDICINE
What?: Good, off-beat indie, leaning more towards Bedouin Soundclash. But they look like a cross between The Courteeners and The Pigeon Detectives.
