Newcastle band Pale Man Made hark back to the alternative music scene of the early 90s, using the same ingredients as many bands of that era and moulding them into two and a half minutes of buzzing, melodic indie with a DIY ethic, punk energy and C86 spirit. They sound a little bit like a lot of your favourite bands so tuck in to their new single 'In Your Bed' which is free from Odd Box Records.

Warm Digits - A Warm Front, Coming From The North
The duo that make up Warm Digits clearly have a taste for vintage electronica and are not shy of combining it with a decent tune. Their debut album 'Keep Warm With The Warm Digits' got some great reviews and the combination of analogue sounds and organic drumming gives free track 'A Warm Front, Coming From The North' an early Kraftwerk feel, and it's bloody brilliant to boot.

The Avalanche - Throw Away The Rest
There's been a barrage of top quality shoegaze and dreampop coming from Scandinavia in the past few years and it looks set to continue with the aptly named The Avalanche. This Norwegian band engulf you in a cascade of reverb and feedback that's tuneful and noisy at the same time, as you can hear on single 'Throw Away The Rest'. A UK release for their album is due later this year.

Vertebrae - Crisis Apparition
Vertebrae is the brainchild of Irish-born, London-based singer-songwriter Daire Mulvihill whose debut album 'Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea' has recently been made available for download. 'Crisis Apparition' is a robust acoustic track enriched by gentle percussion and a chorus of voices. It's the kind of emotive, powerful ballad that's made Frank Turner such a big draw of late.
