"Could they be the UKs answer to The White Stripes? Charles And Rebecca Are Slow Club. They hail from Sheffield and are a sort of one man band. Only with two people. He strums guitar and sings and she plays drums and all sorts of weird instruments, like water-filled glass bottles, spoons and the back of a wooden chair. And sometimes an organ called MIles. Not something you get to see and hear every day. The effect is rockabilly and somewhat folksy but thankfully their songs are fairly jolly affairs without a bit of teenage angst in sight. Slwo Club are touring - don't miss them" [The Independant On Sunday]

"A brilliant all-female line-up featuring some of the best new musicians around.
After self-releasing her first EP at the ripe age of 16, Alessi Laurent-Marke (better known as Alessi's Ark) was signed by Virgin Records and went on to record her debut album with the help of her dream producer, Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, Rilo Kiley). She toured with the likes of Mumford & Sons and Laura Marling, building up a devoted fan base. Now, four years later, Alessi's Ark is releasing her sophomore album, 'Time Travel,' through independent label Bella Union. Her folk-pop has remained melodic, intimate, and charming, but is now also mature and confident. Support from Mechanical Bride whose new album is called Living with Ants-you can get a free download here.
Stealing Sheep is one of my favourite new bands-I first heard them perform when they were supporting Gabby Young last year-since then they've been championed by the guys at BBC6music"
