Featuring:

Friendly Fires
Like all good suburban mall rats, the core trio of Friendly Fires began in a big-trousered and failingly inept hardcore/metal band. They played packed out youth clubs with fellow teens at gigs mainly remembered, if at all, for the low level chaos that ensued; airborne crashing cymbals hospitalising bass players, guitar amps robbed at knife point between songs, the usual.
Their debut EP was released in 2006 and Friendly Fires are about to come back with an amazing single, Paris, which will be released on Moshi Moshi at the end of the year.

Bolt Action Five
“Bolt Action Five are the offspring of our new indie universe: a steamroller charge of subversive popmusic with no rulebook but a steadfast love of hooks” i-D
Bolt Action Five’s debut single ‘Tree Friend Tree Foe’ was a riotous computerXcore explosion and an obscure reference to
classic kids programme Knightmare. It was teen angst and Devo-esque pop culture eccentricity rolled into one.
Now the hottest new label in the UK, Lost In Paris, presents the remixes - from Kissysell Out, Hadouken, Dan Le Sac & Run Ride Survive.

Ipso Facto
Ipso facto |'ipso 'fakto|: adverb by that very fact or act eg: the enemy of one's enemy may be ipso facto a friend.
Described by some as the female Horrors, we just think they're flippin ace. Expect HUGE things from Ipso Fact in 2008.

Heads We Dance
Leeds based band HEADS WE DANCE write “custom chromed aerodynamic pop” (Losing Today) influenced by Daft Punk, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music, Timbaland and Pet Shop Boys. Taking their name from a Kate Bush lyric, HEADS WE DANCE are inspired by the early sci-fi visions of ‘Metropolis’, Aldous Huxley and Philip K Dick, and a fascination with love, modern life and the internet. HEADS WE DANCE played their first show at the Dead Disco single launch in September 2006, three weeks after forming, and have since been described live as achieving “an unfathomably glamorous and energetic take on disco pop... damn, it's great to watch" (Tasty fanzine). The debut HEADS WE DANCE single is expected in November 2007.

KBC
Since their debut 7” Trippin hit the independent record store shelves (a limited pressing of 500 yellow vinyls, complete with hand sprayed sleeves) the band have established themselves across the UK and Europe, playing alongside The Strokes, The Paddingtons, Forward Russia, The Sunshine Underground, performing at the Glastonbury festival, ramming out club shows in France, Germany, Austria and Ibiza, as well as running their own club night, Club Sandwich, in home town Preston to expose the best up and coming new bands.
2008 promises to be a very exciting year indeed...

Duloks
The Duloks were formed in January 2005 when disenfranchised Canadian, Mar Sellars (of CBC fame!) arrived to the British Isles bereft of her alma mater band The Ewoks.
After settling into the environs of East London, Mar acquired a set of Roland V electric drums and yearned to be in a band again. She started a lonely Duloks MySpace site in November 2005 and three months later enlisted Alice her trusty housemate to play keys.
With lumbering inevitability MySpace contrived to play another role in the band's inception when Mar advertised for a "female singer with balls" and lo! Her old Coolgrrrls.com compadre Mira Manga answered. Henceforth these three girlies became The Duloks!!!
