The Cuban Brothers

Categories, Pop and rock

This riotous and obscenely funky Cuban party quartet are less well known for their music as for their formidable breakdancing skills and handlebar moustaches. Tonight they play tracks from their most recent album ‘Yo Bonita’ with a full live band.

Brian Nutter

Pop and rock, Country

If you can see past his amusing name, Nutter's alright. He plays infectiously upbeat pop-rock, with some impressive guitar work and a strong country and western feel – mind the banjo – that shows why he was picked as a touring rhythm guitarist by Keith...

Meursault

Categories, Pop and rock

  • Critics' choice

Edinburgh's Meursault – named after the protagonist of Albert Camus's 'The Stranger' – veer between beautifully stripped-down, uke-driven alt.folk and synth-strafed electro. It's weird, but it works a treat.

The Chapman Family

Indie rock

Although they used to sound a lot like fellow Teeside indie groups Maxïmo Park and The Futureheads, Stockton rockers The Chapman Family have moved on from their jittery post-punk past. Nowadays they're rather fond of massive, reverb-heavy guitars and...

The Crunch

Categories, Music

Comprised of members from The Clash, Sham 69, Cockney Rejects and Diamond Dogs, The Crunch create punk-rock together that's not disimilar from The Clash, if less catchy.

Marnie Stern

Categories, Pop and rock

Imagine Karen O as a finger-tapping guitarist with an experimental bent and a whiff of riot-grrrl angst and you're coming close to New Yorker Stern's incredible sound.
