  Transmission [Original Rock] Track: Circles
Lemonrock review 14 May 08: "They say that good things come in threes. Here's another band from the Oxford area with an outrageously good melodic prog rock song that took our preconceptions hostage. Combining a chugging guitar-laden canvas with an unusual eastern minor-scale melody (listen to see what we mean!), this high quality recording treats us to a surprise guitar solo near the end, all the better for the wait. Morrissey meets Roxy Music at a Motorhead reunion? No, different to that... Elbow, Muse and Radiohead can't match the sheer abandon of this Transmission offering... novel, noteworthy and abnormally good.

 Souljacker [Rock] Track: Eat My Dust
Lemonrock review 8 May 08: "If we said the words "tuneful", "controlled", "passionate", "involving" and "exemplary", you might think we're talking about some pristine classical symphony, or perhaps we've gone slightly mad in the heat. But no... with the most incredible set of prog/heavy sounds in a massive driving rock meltdown of a song, Souljacker prove that you don't have to be 300 years old to write music worthy of poetic praise. Make sure you are heavily weighted down before listening... otherwise it is reasonable to predict this will blow you into the next town. Brilliant."

 Tinlin [Acoustic / Experimental / Folk / Rock] Track: Being Bad
Lemonrock review 2 May 08: "A young band that shows huge promise. Highly distinctive vocals that carry a trademark harmony style. This is passionately played acoustic pop - with unexpected turns of style - that's fun to listen to.
Taken from the Toerag sessions E.P, this track was recorded totally live with no overdubs. Go see Tinlin live if you can!" Get the Flash Player (and enable JavaScript) to listen to this MP3.
 Nicky Swann [Acoustic] Track: In Too Deep (demo)
Lemonrock review 24 Apr 08: "Chocolate, anyone? Gentle but emotive guitar ballad from Devon's finest singer/songwriter, Nicky Swann. Effortless playing and sun-ripened, sweetly simmering vocals blending together into a lilting, slightly mesmerising, 75% cocoa solids melody. Dark, smooth and slightly bitter, addictive and likely to keep you awake for some time, without the headache. Yes, we want *more*..."

 Vivid Sky [Rock] Track: The Unknown
Lemonrock review 16 Apr 08: "Bursting with new energy, The Newcomers have a sound that crosses many boundaries: heavy rock, ethereal indie goth, and harmony peppered pop. This original track is arranged with care; density and sparseness provide an always engaging "progressive" experience. There are moments when you think you are listening to Evanescence or All About Eve; moments that make you glad you are listening to a young UK band who are writing their own material. Give this a couple of listens at least - it deserves it."
