Recommending New Bands and Music for Glasto

[Sam Crawley]

Given that the line-up is probably not going to be out till June, can people suggest minor or lesser-known bands (to the masses, I know that the smallest band always has some hardcore fans) that are either confirmed, rumoured or possible for the festival this year. If possible, please post with a link to Myspace, Youtube or other site where we can go listen. Thanks all!

Here's my contribution: Little Comets, on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHpILkfDYIs, Myspace here, Website here.

The Loose Salute

[Genveers]

I quite like Lykke Li, they played Glastonbury last year, I only saw them when I got home and watched the footage and quite like her now. Would have liked to see it live but hey ho.

Nightmare of You have a cult following in the US but are relatively unknown over here. They are doing a tour of small venues in the UK in April and I recommend them having seen them support Ash in New York last year.

Type? Indie Rock is a bit loose.

The Communicators are booked for the Friday to play on the Croissant Neuf Stage.

Formed in the early part of 2005 The Communicators began their journey as a covers band performing to sell out audiences across the country, playing tracks from the Specials, Bad Manners and Madness - plus many more. As their audiences have grown, so has their repetoire - finally culminating in the launch of their debut original album "Care in the Communicators".

With a banging back line consisting of Drums, Bass, Percussion & Keyboards! Coupled with a red hot guitar player, a Brass section Bad Manners would be proud of, great backing vocals and a front man that cuts the mustard not only vocally but in his skanking attitude also,

The Communicators are a must see for any one that has ever worn a pair of Dr Martins or a Crombie!

Both Los Campesinos! and Holy F**k played Glastonbury in 2007 and 2008. They both have 2 albums so I would hardly say they are new bands.

Try The Soft Pack (formely the Muslims), Passion Pit, and Here We Go Magic.
