MAN LIKE ME (Prestel/Uk)
Power pop / Glam / Psychobilly. Révélation du défilé de JC de Castelbajac, le trio Man Like Me distille et instille dans le cerveau une pop colorée, teintée d’un savant mélange de hip hop-calypso et portée par le rap insolent de Johnny, le leader charismatique qui se déshabille plus vite que son ombre.

EIGHT LEGS (weekender records/Uk)
Alternative / Punk / Rock. Despite being either 18 (singer and guitarist Sam Jolly, drummer Jack Garside) or 19 (bassist Adam Neil and guitarist Jack Wharton), theres a melancholy to Eight Legs that evokes experience rather than innocence. Songs like Climb the Walls and These Grey Days speak of parties that ended in drunken disaster, text message arguments between estranged young couples, and even that perennial rock and roll topic, boredom. Yet somehow the music lifts the mundane teenage neuroses into something strangely grand, beautiful, and universal. Thats why Eight Legs found itself sound-tracking the Dior Homme Winter 06 show, despite being unsigned and having previously done nothing more high-profile than support minor U.K. rock heroes the Cribs. After being recommended the music by a model he cast on the street in London, Hedi Slimane fell under the spell of Eight Legs chiming, classically English romantic rock. The Dior show saw the two and a half minute These Grey Days reworked into a fifteen-minute elegy, drawing out a mood that perfectly suited the monochrome, aristocratic clothes. The gig pictured here, which took place two weeks later, saw Eight Legs, which is from Stratford-Upon-Avon, play in the much more conventional setting of a dive-y indie rock club. But the sense of otherworldly beauty remainedeven in a sweatbox 20 feet below Oxford Street.

LOW LINE (Uk)
Alternative / Indie. Manchester is a funny place. Few places are so full of musical heritage, and with that comes expectation; something which has been unfulfilled in recent times. The city has been crying out for something genuinely new that can make a real impact: a band that draws inspiration from the city’s legacy, whilst still moving it forward. Enter the cities newest heroes: Lowline. Lowline are intense and sinister yet totally up lifting. They are group of mates in their early twenties who formed in the spring of 2007 and spent the rest of that year writing, locked away in a warehouse in Manchester’s less-than-glamorous Ancoats district. There are flashes of inspiration from cult legends The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine, but they strike a rare balance between razor sharp rock and roll, and epic shoegaze. Lowline’s intense guitar sound is underpinned by tribal house tinged drums and fuzzed up bass lines, as all combine to make something with energy, atmosphere and spirit.
