New Exeter based hot plate I Divide have been turning heads all over the shop of late with their sensational vocalist, unpredictable riffs and phenomenal live performances.

Manchester quintet The Cape Race may be new to the game but don’t be fooled. Already having enjoyed a small Taste of Chaos, the five-some are raring to live up to the media hype.

Leeds experimenticons Castrovalva caught up with our Nadia, shut their eyes and imagined a world where dreams of ‘metal + grime + a bit of dubstep + electro – pussy shit x awesomeness’ trump World Peace or a date with a Pussycat Doll. Make yourself a brew and turn these Northern noiseniks really, really loud.

London Grindcore Mob Dripback certainly know how to make an impression, with talk of “The Metal Crisp” and other randomness this became the craziest interview over the weekend. My god this lot are funny…

Newcomers Never Means Maybe tell Lais MW of Bring The Noise about their acoustic set on the Jagermeister stage, partying hard and setting their merch guy on fire…

If sassy pop music is your thing, then refreshing new talent Daniela Brooker is someone you should definitely keep an eye on. The singer/songwriter from South West London has been making waves around the UK with her infectious, summery sound.

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ll already be familiar with the 20 year-old lad from Suffolk with the big voice and buckets of talent. Probably the new Jessie J of hype, this guy has been attracting attention left right and centre. Twitter is mostly to blame (or praise depending on how you look at it) and once NME, Radio 1 and Jools jumped on the bandwagon, the kid had no chance.

Last year Deaf Havana officially put Norfolk on the music map and it looks like Atlas&i are set to help them keep it there. The six-piece have recently emerged onto the scene off the back of their debut ‘In Desolate Times’, a well produced effort overflowing with haunting, post-hardcore beautie

Made up of Phil Barker (vocals), Ryan Chambers (bass), Andi Scott Shaw (Guitar & vocals), Tom Calton (drums) and Marc Kucharski (Vocals & Guitar), this Peterborough quintet’s speciality is piercing, post-hardcore. I know what you’re probably thinking ‘oh no not another amateur post-hardcore band’ etc etc. But trust us on this one, these guys are good.
