LITTLE COMETS is a name I haven't been able to escape from in recent weeks. 'In the City' has just taken place in Manchester and with that prestigious event comes the latest barrage of 'next big thing' tags, most of those tags finding themselves firmly slapped on this chirpy alt-rock quartet from Newcastle. They've clearly been heavily influenced by the top American indie-rock bands of the past decade even to the point where you find yourself not being able to believe that they are from our own shores. The demo's are flying around the internet right now so it shouldn't be too difficult for you to get into these guys pretty soon, hopefully we can bring them to North Wales before they're too big!

LET ME HEAR IT IN THE CANS

Why are they here?

WE HAVE BAND have been long overdue a post on this blog; as it becomes ever more evident which different musical artists are going to be finding themselves in the full glare of the spotlight in 2009 we can safely say that these guys are fully deserving of any success that comes their way. The disco-pop formula is a familiar one but this time glazed in a wonderful freshness that makes you want to revisit this scene and stick one of their soon-to-be-dancefloor-hits on your iPod for one hell of a dance! They're about to embark on a mammoth European tour so go see them before everyone else twigs.

Recommended listening:

'Hear it in the Cans'
