The Carpels represent a new era for the Birmingham music scene, one that looks set to grab the ears of London and the nation. The area's rough-and-ready indie sound has bred a small and exclusive scene that is gaining strong recognition nationwide. The Carpels' music is by no means easy-listening; it grabs listeners and hurtles [...]
I honestly love getting new tunes sent to me from London's Dub pioneer, Jakwob . His style is unique, somewhat squeezed in between a sub genre of dubstep,but nonetheless it is beauty incarnate. Give these new tunes a listen, and stop by his myspace to show some support. The Temper Trap- Fader (Jakwob Remix) Download audio file (Fader-Jakwob-Remix.mp3) [...]
Tenuous link number 89.7. Tonight in the UK is Guy Fawkes night, otherwise known as Fireworks night or Bonfire night thanks to the consentual pyromania that sweeps the nation. Back in 1605 Guy Fawkes and his Catholic homies tried to blow up the Houses Of Parliament whilst the Protestant King James I and his bredren were all inside. The Houses Off Parliament nowadays (and we have it on no authority back then as well) are chaired by The Speaker, kind of a referee for politicians. So we have, in celebration of this historic occasion, a bunch [...]

Exclusive free Raffertie MP3 of his dubstep remix of Scarlet Harlots' 'Backlash' from Orange Unsigned Act to download here.
Birmingham based punk-steppers Scarlet Harlots ( myspace ) have evidently been making some pretty big waves. Now I don't pretend to anything about anything, but if Lauren Laverne looked at me like that... And I challenge you to name another band that could make Montel Jordan's 'This Is How We Do It' sound this grimey. Anyway, if any of you caught Raffertie's ( myspace ) mix for Mary Anne Hobbs on Radio 1 the other week then you would have heard his remix of 'Backlash'. Now featuring a super special vocal from Shifty Moova, the band have [...]

Just a quick one to round up the week, before we sign off for the weekend. As we all know, Sundays were made for relaxing. I myself plan on doing absolutely zilch this Sunday - a chance to recharge the batteries and relax. However, this week (for once) there's a reasonable amount worth watching on TV. If you're suffering from a hangover after a big Saturday night, why not lie back on the sofar to catch the final of Orange unsignedAct with Sony Ericsson on Channel 4 from 1-2pm, with the results at 2:35pm. It's between three pretty [...]
You may have noticed that here at TGTF we've got slightly addicted to the Orange unsignedAct with Sony Ericsson. All the bands seem pretty amazing, and today we got a chance to speak to Scarlet Harlots , who were voted out a few weeks back by the judges, but have since been bought back by public vote - don't you just love democracy? We sat down with Tom from Scarlet Harlots and asked him about the upcoming finals and more... Do you think they can recreate wild card Envy [...]
The search for the U.K's best unsigned artist is nearing its end this January as Channel 4's hit show, Orange unsignedAct with Sony Ericsson , ever approaches the anticipated live final in a couple of weeks time. Later this week Phil will be bringing you lucky readers interviews with the finalists of the show, but before that, let me give you a little background on the competition labelled 'the indie X Factor'. The show, which airs every Sunday at 12:30pm on Channel 4, is presented by tousle-haired XFMer Alex Zane and fittingly comes complete with a star-studded [...]
It seems everyone's putting out their "best of 20083 lists, with The Wombats (pictured above) being the latest ones to do so. They've tipped Scarlet Harlots (pictured right) for the top next year, naming a new band that has yet to appear on many Proclaiming their love for the band and tipping them for success after mentoring them on T4's Orange unsignedAct, singer Murf declared, "I thought you were going to be good before you even picked up an instrument." Endorsement from one of the most popular bands [...]
Tommy Reilly Genre: Acoustic / Pop From: Glasgow, United Kingdom This weeks Orange Unsigned included an amazing cover of The Killers Mr Brightside by the unassuming king of unrequited love, Scotland's answer to Morrissey, Tommy the troubadeur Reilly. It was so good it brought ex Blur guitarist Alex James to tears. [...]
