The Marras: Sing-along North West indie rock from The Marras... a band formed from the ashes of The Notion & Callow Youth. Big anthems and Smiths-esque guitars on offer with new tune 'Echoes'.
Reluctant Bob and the Lonely Lovers: Robert Baker's (The Crayon Set) musical side project is allowing him to spread his musical wings! Like listening to the Flaming Lips covering the Beach Boys in the neighbour's garden whilst you take a summer nap!
