Made up of four siblings from a family full of talent, Echosmith went from a little-known Los Angeles
alt-pop gem to Warped Tour's undeniable breakout band in under 12 months, due to their winning
combination of radio-ready songs that combine U2's chiming guitars, Fleetwood Mac's harmonies,
and Killers-style neo-new wave production.

Since their formation in London in 1976, the members of Wire have maintained and advanced a musical
project which treats the creative potential of a rock band as a fluid, amorphous medium, employing
their unique, endlessly restless and risk-taking creativity to question every aspect of songwriting,
recording and performance.

Unlike the epic instrumentals of many of their post-rock peers, Belfast’s ASIWYFA cram in as many
ideas as possible into songs which are more of a short, sharp shock, one that translates into a live
show that has to be seen to be believed.

Colin MacIntyre is a multi-instrumentalist, programmer, songwriter and producer, who releases
under the pseudonym Mull Historical Society. Over the course of six exceptional albums, MacIntyre
has never failed to create something special and fully deserves his reputation as one of Scotland’s
brightest talents.
THE CALM FIASCO
FOR FANS OF: MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE H THE USED H TAKING BACK SUNDAY H
Former guitarist for My Chemical Romance, Frank Iero is back with a new band, a new sound and a renewed
passion and vigour for music. New album Stomachaches is the most personal record he has yet been involved
in and has the guitarist front and centre for the first time. Needless to say, the results are astonishing.

FOR FANS OF: PORTISHEAD H RADIOHEAD H PLACEBO H
Balthazar’s new album Thin Walls is a career-best: a grizzly indie-rock album full of nocturnal grooves
and mesmeric melodies. A beguiling snapshot of life in your mid-twenties, this is an album that puts the
Belgian outfit on the cusp of a big breakthrough. These stirring vignettes will take the five-piece to bold
new places.
JOHN MCCULLAGH & THE ESCORTS
TEXAS
FOR FANS OF: BLOC PARTY H JURASSIC 5 H QUEEN H
Mounties are a Canadian indie supergroup featuring members of Hot Hot Heat, Limblifter and fronted by
the arch showman that is Hawksley Workman. Their debut album Thrash Rock Legacy was released last
year to rave reviews across the board, due to its insane ambition and fearless blending of styles and
genres, from glam to rap, post punk to classic rock.

Widely praised as a master bluesman, Duke Garwood has often been described as his sometime recording
partner Mark Lanegan's spiritual cousin across the Atlantic waters. Both have similarly gravel tones, but
Garwood is definitely his own man, with his new album Heavy Love a strong contender for album of the
year already.

and happen soon.
GIRL FRIEND
FOR FANS OF: KINGS OF LEONHNOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDSHPAUL WELLERH
The Calm Fiasco’s distinctly Glaswegian take on indie rock has been creating a serious buzz in and around
the city for some time now. Described by Chem19’s Jamie Savage as a punk ethos with 50s doo wop
melodicpop sensibilities, this band are one-offs and definitely ones to watch in 2015.
FOR FANS OF: BON IVER H NICK DRAKE H BEAR’S DEN H
With over a million views on YouTube of his songs already, the reaction to his music has been universally
positive, with fans growing by the day once they hear this young troubador’s stunningly atmospheric

FOR FANS OF: KOOKS H SUEDE H TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB H
Started in 2014 and inspired by the classic 80s electronic pop of Roxy Music, Soft Cell and Japan,
Manchester’s Girl Friend have found a sound all of their own. A band unknowingly fizzing with modern feel,
their lush song writing is bolstered by an emotional core that pitches their music firmly towards the epic.
FOR FANS OF: RAE MORRIS H SYD BARRETT H WOLF ALICE H
Describing herself as “folk at the inner core, Kurt Cobain for the outer core, whimsical dark madness for
the mantle, and Marika Hackman for the crust.”, it’s no wonder that this English singer/songwriter’s
music is so beguiling, creating sounds that are both spectral and psychedelic, haunting yet deeply human.

Nadine Sha’s gothic, jazz-tinged chamber pop marks her out as one of the most compelling live
performers around, with a unique voice that sees her switching between a banshee wail and pure, yet
powerful tone that draws comparisons with singers like Polly Harvey and Marianne Faithfull.
FOR FANS OF: PULP H THE CORAL H BLUR H
Local boys Lemonnhaze’s widescreen indie rock draws influence from many bands from many eras, with
a particular focus on the finest indie/rock/jangle/britpop acts from the 80s, 90s and 00s, resulting in a
sound full of angular guitar slashes and anthemic vocals.

One of the guiding lights of the pop punk scene that exploded in America in the late 90s/early 00s,
The Early November have continued to forge their own path, releasing records when it suits them,
unencumbered by fashion or outside influences.
FOR FANS OF: JUNGLE H RYAN HEMSWORTH H FKA TWIGS H
Ben’s jaggedly atmospheric fusion of dirty Southern blues mixed with wonky R&B has made him one of the
stand-out acts to emerge from London in the last couple of years. Creating what is essentially pop music from
the murkiest of electronica isn’t easy, but Ben Khan makes it look like child’s play.

For the as-yet untitled follow-up to their brilliant 2013 debut album Where The Heaven Are We,
Birmingham outfit Swim Deep have found themselves taking major inspiration from the original
acid house sound, filling the record with squelching 303s, loping grooves and euphoric melody lines.
The summer starts here.
FOR FANS OF: ARCADE FIRE H NEW ORDER H THE NATIONAL H
From their first release Heard it All two years ago (featuring Mick Cooke from Belle & Sebastian), to their
latest releases Bang Your Drum and Suwarrow, electro/indie rockers Dead Man Fall have continued to rise.
The band have already hit the Number 1 spot on the US iTunes chart, as well as being tipped by influential
New York radio station WFUV as a breakthrough act of 2015.
