Better Joy
Better Joy, the alternative-pop band led by Bria Keely, is a deft fusion of classic and contemporary influences, boldly celebrating the tensions between opposing states. Influenced by an array of artists including The Cure, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Smiths, The Sundays and contemporary artists such as Faxerdaze, The Japanese House, Phoebe Bridgers and The Beaches, Bria revels in exploring the bittersweet beauty of love, through romance, friendships and by examining her relationship with herself.

Everything Everything
This Manchester outfit blend falsetto vocals with synths, guitars and discordant pop hooks. Quirky singles like 'Photoshop Handsome' have seen comparisons to XTC, Wild Beasts and Django Django, but the band also have a sound all of their own.

Emma Buckley
A singer / songwriter from London who is defying the laws of genre and telling stories from the soul. There's a raw but beautiful honesty here that's unavoidably addictive.
