Band Info
Rogues
Rogues are three brothers and two friends from Harrow, who blasted onto the scene at the end of last year, headlining amongst others, the Levi’s® OnesToWatch® stage in October. Their hotly-anticipated debut single will be released in March on 50 Bones, the upstart indie label responsible for Little Boots. Rogues have a unique combination of strutting 80s pop and angular 'Foals' style guitars, and have already been championed by Zane Lowe and Steve Lamacq. A string of festivals lie ahead of them this summer, including The Great Escape and Hinterland in Glasgow.

Underground Railroad
Following 2009 support slots with Ladyhawke and Fight Like Apes, Parisian trio Underground Railroad will release their new EP “Pick the Ghost” in April on One Little Indian. Their dark avant punk sound, produced by John Goodmanson (Death Cab For Cutie, Bloodbrothers), brings to mind the psych sounds of the Pixies and Velvet Underground, with melody at its core.

This City
Newly signed Brighton quintet, This City, are one of those rare bands who can truly embody the indie/ hardcore crossover, with a sound somewhere between Les Savvy Fav's angular attack, early Biffy Clyro, and The Automatic.

The band met at a tattoo convention in 2006, and make boisterous yet sharply- executed dance punk. 2008 saw them play the 'Radio 1 Introducing' stage at Latitude, The Great Escape and Camden Crawl. Previous support slots include Biffy Clyro, Future Of The Left and Ghost Of A Thousand.
They have had extensive support from both Kerrang! and NME, plus airplay on Radio 1, and have just finished recording their debut album with producer Matt Bayles (Sound Garden, Pearl Jam) in Seattle.

Dead Kids
Levi’s® OnesToWatch® favourites, Dead Kids, return to the stage in March for what is bound to be another highly-charged performance. Genuinely unpredictable, their live shows are renowned for their sense of surprise and energy. Their latest single, “Into The Fire”, was released in December on Sparrow’s Tear records.

The Chapman Family

Rubella
All-girl rock band Rubella are as ferocious and sardonic off stage as they are on stage, with a sound reminiscent of Hole, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Sonic Youth.
