Benson: http://www.thisisbenson.com/

"Already proven musicians of individual merit - they can now consider themselves collectively superior, and anyone who listens to this record will agree...in unison"? - 9/10 Subba Cultcha

"Benson are a throbbing, attitude fuelled swaggering six-piece that weld together all the best elements of indie, rock, soul, punk and ska to create the essential soundtrack to all of your hedonistic summer parties"? - Rhythm & Booze

"Benson buck the trend and have produced a timeless disc of energy that must surely not only get feet tapping, but bodies bouncing! This is 'good-time' music alright! Tell me you don't like this ..... and you just ain't got no soul, man! - 10/10"? Loud Horizon

Benson released their debut EP this spring and hit the media straight between the eyes. It was instantly picked up and played by new music shows on NME and Q Radio as well as numerous new music shows and podcasts. Now with a growing hardcore of fans plans may have to be drawn up for a Benson stadium to accommodate them!

HTNY burst onto the UK music scene last autumn with their debut single 'Out of Time' amidst a cascade of critical media acclaim, are back with an even more impressive musical serving in the form of their debut EP, 'Treading Water', released on 21st May.

Earlier this year, HTNY flew to LA for a series of meetings and showcases to industry moguls including CAA and Warner Bros and are currently in negotiations with a major US agent for a support tour back in the US.

Throw in a recent sell-out gig at The Barfly, London and upcoming appearances at HARD ROCK CALLING and BT LONDON LIVE and HTNY suddenly become a highly formidable indie/rock force across both sides of the Atlantic.

Sharp Darts: https://www.facebook.com/sharpdartsofficial

"Watch out for this Uk based band, they're doing things very special"
CASSIE DELTA, KBYD RADIO, TEXAS, USA

"First of all, I love this band, and so should you. Sharp Darts embody all that we hope to be true about Rock and Roll. The songs are put across with a natural swagger, never arrogant but striking all the same and it is those songs that hold the key to your frozen and musically abandoned heart." - PANIC MUSIC

"Like a pre-smack Pete Doherty" - BANG THE DRUM MAGAZINE

"Future prospects" - TELEGRAPH & ARGUS

"Really tight rhythm section, musically adept and create an impressive wall of sound. Sharp Darts take the traditional rock/indie set up and do something that is distinctively 'Sharp Darts' with it - creating something with a sharp modern feel"
DAVID BURTON - BINGLEY MUSIC LIVE

"I'm captivated by this young band who songs are gradually building momentum and by the end of the set there's only one thing on my mind, when's the next gig."?
Michelle Dalgety - Yorkshire Music Collective

An alternative edge band that tick most genre boxes. With hints of Blues/ Reggae/ Bluebeat/ Heavy Rock, Indie and 'world' music, the have their own sound, combining flowing melodies with heavy beats and funky riffs and even the odd horn section, cello and xylophone have been known to make an appearance.

With the addition of keys to the full band line up and 2 recent collaborations with Ian Browns tabla player Inder Goldfinger, providing subtle Asian percussion.

The Transmission: http://www.thetransmission.co.uk/

"They play around with their sound and have a relatively large following here tonight. They are very tight with some hooky songs and a warm stage persona - The Kinks, Blur and Arctic Monkeys are all apparent in their sound...an entertaining way to end the night"?
Leeds Music Scene

"An indie/ alternative rock and roll band with a passion to bring guitar music back to the masses. The band has a growing reputation within the northern music scene with their catchy tunes and lively gigs.
They have a growing back catalogue of songs, which are very popular among their fans. With influences from The Blues and 60's rock and roll, right through to modern day indie and rock.
They hope you love what they do."
