The Winchell Riots [link]
The Winchell Riots are a four-piece from Oxford who take their name from a chapter in a Philip Roth novel, The Plot Against America. They formed out of the ashes of the widely touted Fell City Girl, who were on Sony and specialised in the sort of wistful balladry that made people talk, in hushed, reverent tones, about them as successors to Snow Patrol. They broke up in February 2007. Since then, they have been developing the idea of themselves, raised as they were on the ambient, dynamic instrumentals of Mogwai and Sigur Ros, as a poppy post-rock band, with the intention of getting that experimental atmospherica on the radio and into the mainstream, using it as the basis for tunes with big choruses: post-rock pop.
Sleeping With Antares [link]
Sleeping With Antares was born out of a project initiated by Philip Brillo and Manuel Xueref in Rome, Italy in 2006. We then moved to London to study at university and met with Matteo who we knew from back home and had coincidentally moved to London too. The three of us started making music at home as we were living together, but never had the chance to show people what we were doing until we met Thiago in January 2009. After Thiago joined the band as a drummer, we started gigging in London's underground scene receiving some very good feedback from the crowds. In summer 2009 we recorded our first studio ep that we are now promoting independently. If you like what you hear, pop down to one of our shows and share your opinions with us.

Media Circus are a Band of four boys who started making music and realised it was sounding pretty beautiful to the ear-drum.
