(influenced by 70's prog, film scores, fusion and metal, the
result is an aggressive yet melodic sound. Exploring rhythmic and melodic
concepts whilst keeping an element of simplicity is characteristic of
M.I.N.D's music)

SilvaTone
(SilvaTones inspirations are Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Seether, Black Stone Cherry to name but a few. So if you want to see this band they are currently playing in multiple venues across Berkshire, Surrey and London. To see a SilvaTone show is to see music at its rawist and most gritty form. SilvaTone are looking to become the next step in the rock revival)
Exile Parade
(Consistent with a dreams becoming reality story, a member of Oasis, Bonehead, and their acclaimed producer fell under the Exile Parade spell upon hearing Exile Parade on a BBC new music show. Taking a chance on recording a baby band with zero studio experience, the band's first EP, Brothel Ballet, housed an undeniable song Fire Walk With Me that took on a life of its own, and broke into the British and Dutch music charts. Despite being appreciative of the chart attention, the guys in Exile Parade are the first to point out the proof in the pudding is always the live show. Indeed, they play each show as if their lives are on the line. The band walk on stage and take you by the throat, forcing you into a world of sonic chaos with an undeniable allure. A desire to hold up their influences for the world to see puts you in the same room as Rolling Stones, Primal Scream, Joy Division and the Sex Pistols, while maintaining genuine originality. You've heard it and you've seen it - yet you've never heard it and you've never seen it.
The live show and industry led to Exile Parade being quickly signed to large Dutch indie label Suburban Records for Europe. Gigs followed in some of Europe's leading venues including Paradiso, Amsterdam for London Calling sharing the stage with The Ting Tings, Mystery Jets and Florence and the Machine)
Rhyn
(alt rock band)
Auto Rotation
(Autorotation perform acoustic trip-hop with hints of gothic pop, folk and world music. With the focus on Robyn Sellman's classically trained voice, the duo combines subtle electronic loops and beatboxing with the ethereal sound of the dulcimer and the nostalgia of the nylon-stringed guitar, creating a hypnotic, other-worldly sound full of catchy melodies, harmonies and organic beats)
