Signed to US label Dim Mak, Scanners spent much of 2006 conquering the USA's West Coast, supporting The Rakes, Juliette & the Licks and The Bravery, and touring with The Presidents of the USA. After Radio 1 and Xfm airplay, their takeover of the UK begins after their debut single 'Low Life' sold out after release on Tiger Trap records last year.

"A little bit of everything: a strong base of rock, a touch of electro swagger, some fashionable angst, a tender moment or two...pop rock with heavy emphasis on the keyboard hook and tough-girl attitudes." (Prefixmag, 2006).

2006 saw Royal Treatment Plant's debut single, 'Carry Me', released on Human Condition, the very same label having launched the careers of such bands as Mogwai, Idlewild and The Vaselines. Kicking off 2007 with a tour of North England and Scotland, and with competing interest from industry types, this'll be RTP's year.

Artrocker called them "aurally delectable", the-mag said "ready for a starring role" and RTP say "rawk".

Recording their first album in a barn during last year's weathery storms, Lynch Rider Lulu are back this year to give more good.

UKMusicSearch said, "Lynch Rider Lulu are a low-slung indie rock outfit in the vein of Pavement, Slint and Smog; all moody guitar scrawls and smoky atmospherics. Frontwoman Lucy Underhill cuts a subdued but enigmatic figure, cruising through impressive sounding songs like 'Smoke & Mirrors' and 'Was The Killer' delivering her vocals with a mixture of cool detachment and searing conviction."
