Manchester has a rich history for producing great new rock bands, and I'm delighted to say it's at it again with the emergence of fresh new indie rockers The Covasettes.

Swedish-born, London-based singer / singwriter Axel Jansson is an enjoyable throwback to the good old days of rock, with a gritty yet engagingly melodic sound.

Windsor rockers You Win Again Gravity freely admit they are something 'a little different to the norm,' combining technical, almost mathy post-hardcore with heavy rock and delicious melodies. The notion of 'new band' is slightly misleading for the quartet of Jack Jennings (vocals and guitar), Daniel Dreelan (guitar and backing vocals), James Mackenzie (drums andb acking vocals), Johnny...
