Hey all,

Just wondered if anyone knows any new upcoming bands, kinda people that really shine in your eyes - do gigs and stuff in your local area but arent well known. And if so- any websites or previews of their stuff ?

I'm trying to collect some new non-mainstream stuff for my collection but have only found a few sites.

http://myspace.com/parmavioletsband are my favourites at the moment - got a really good sound going and i regularly play their tunes in amoungst my real albums.

So anyone got anything?

I'm really into my brothers band at the moment, they've just recently recorded two demo tracks at a studio, and have a few gigs lined up, and will be on BBC Radio WM next tuesday doing an acoustic set.

I think they're great, and although I'm a bit naturally biased as my brother is in the band, most people really like the music. First track Crawl is a very Oasis like track, but the second track Dawn is a little different, but they've got a good couple of tracks they're yet to record that are fantastic.

They're called Apollomy, you can listen to the two demo tracks at: http://www.myspace.com/apollomy

Just listened to trembling willows, fantastic song, cheers for the heads up!

that's one of my favourites. their album's called The Dark Third - my guess is that if you liked that song, you're going to love the album. fantastic live too :)
 
Well just had a quick listen through the rest of the tracks on there and id have to agree with you, ill be bagging the album as soon as I can :) Nice to hear something different, cheers again :)
