Quote ="moto748"These guys aren't new either, but maybe they'll be new to you... If you like hip-hop, and realise there's can be a lot more to it that gangsta cliches, you should love these guys. I've been listening to popular music, and seeing it live, since the 60s/70s, and the eras of Dylan and the Stones. I rate these guys as highly as anyone I've ever liked, in any genre. They have made five studio CDs, and three 'mix-tapes' (as they call them; their mix-tapes are as strong as most people's full albums), and each seems better than the one before. They didn't help themselves with a band-name that ensured they'd get no radio plays, but that's the perverse bunch they are, and for my money they are ridiculously more talented than the Jay-Zs and Kanyes of this world. And yet they scratch around touring the world to make a living. They are the only band I have travelled abroad to see live (in Amsterdam; quite a night! ). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8wW7xnD_rk Discography and further info on their label site www.qn5.com'" My ears feel raped after hearing such crap

Louis Berry is good, even though he's a Scouser



Check him out

I don't know if they are new, but I enjoy Sofi Tukker! I was in a bar in NY and they were there, since then I like to listen to them.

Check out a band called 'Tender'. Really chilled duo from London. A band you'd stick on in the right kind of atmosphere if you catch my drift...

I dont know if this artists fit in here, but i have to put them out there. Straight out of Toronto check out Jessie Reyez and Alan Rayman. Great Canadian up and coming artist!

Not exactly a new band but if you haven't seen them and you're into Blues/Rock check out the Chantel McGregor Band!

Chantel is from Bradford, plays an awesome guitar and has an incredible voice too.

I'm sure that some of you will have seen or heard her but for those who haven't do a youtube search particularly for the gig where she is jamming with Joe Bonamassa.
