There is simply no denying that The Jackals roots are firmly grounded in Liverpool. The spine tingling soulful vocals from frontman ‘Mick o Hare’ make him the whitest black man ever. Tangling up blues and country riffs, soaked of course with the infamous Merseybeat sound. The Jackals are set to be one of the biggest Liverpool bands of next year. With labels sniffing around their every move, this is your chance to catch them now.

Mesemenie are a band that if someone told you they had a 30 man orchestra playing behind them, you would believe it. Mesemenie are simply a band that have the ability to create a massive wall of sound, full of beautifully soaked reverberation containing blissful and harmonic wails. The feedback sound of perfectly layered guitars and atmospheric beauty has become a trademark for Mesemenie. Their moment is now, their sound is forever.
Noel loves them, Chris and Gweneth love them, loads of celeb’s love them, we love them. The Aeroplanes have received a high level of critical acclaim from all corners of the Industry. Beating off the A&R chaps with a big massive traditional Indie Rock stick The Aeroplanes are one of the major success stories of the Liverpool music scene of 2004. The Aeroplanes could take off in 2005 (sorry), and represent the Liverpool scene, nationally.
