Last time she played Marina got bottled at Leeds really badly. Like 50 cent/ the rasmus Leeds 04 badly...... So yeah, not that type of festival.

Little boots played in 08 to a half empty nme tent.

Not heard a lot of the newer bands on the NME stage, can anyone make any suggestions for where to start with some of them? (it's mostly the bands lower than 4th/5th from top)

Twin Atlantic are very good, low on Saturday. I'd also recommend Tribes who are also good. Those two are my highlights from the announcement.

[rug568]

Spector ,Tribes, Django Django, Howler and Twin Atlantic are my personal favourites.

Spector Chevy Thunder and Never Fade Away

Tribes We were children

Django Django Wor and Default are the highlights

Howler: I told you one and back of your neck

Twin Atlantic Free and make a beast of myself

Are my personal favourites, presumed you knew about the Joy Formidable.

Cheers guys, caught some of Twin Atlantic last year (got dragged by a friend, who was trying to explain what he meant by 'jock rock' lol) and quite liked some of their stuff, but i'll be sure to check out the others

Hit The City (feat. PJ Harvey)

The Gravediggers Song

Ode To Sad Disco

Methamphetamine Blues

loads of stuff really. So much there for you to find. But those always get played live. It'll largely be material from Bubblegum and Blues Funeral that will be played so just those two albums really.

[Vieuphoria]

also the two Soulsavers albums with him on vocals are so close to perfection it's unreal

[kaosmark2]

You can listen to his new album here:

As Vieuphoria says, the two Soulsavers albums with him on vocals are brilliant. Bubblegum was his breakthrough album, although my personal favourite is The Winding Sheet. His version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night? inspired Cobain's. Methamphetamine Blues is a cracking song as people have mentioned, I really love Resurrection Song and Message to Mine.

He wrote Hangin' Tree as well (QOTSA song) and sometimes performs that live. Look for a version of that if you can.

Edit: Also, while he's unlikely to play many songs if any at all, but Screaming Trees were fantastic. Uncle Anaesthesia is a wonderful album. And his stuff with Greg Dulli, most lately the Gutter Twins.

More Gutter Twins is happening either this year or next. Which is awesome

[Mouseboy11]

I don't think I could ever enjoy Spector after seeing what an utter cock the singer was on Soccer AM

[Martino231]

If you can't see the difference between Marina, Lana and Little Boots compared to The Saturdays and Girls Aloud then just go away, forever.

'Of Monsters And Men' are a fantastic band. They have an atmospheric folky sounds, akin to Arcade Fire

'Howler' - Interesting american indie band

'Django Django' - Experimental pop I guess, also good

'Mark Lanegan Band' - Because everyone needs him in their life

'Friends' - Think Warpaint, but with an 80's/90's RnB twist

[Vieuphoria]

Cheers dude. I've got a couple of Screaming Trees albums so i know a bit about Mark Lanegan, but is his current stuff anything like the Trees?

[rivalschools.price]

saw Screaming trees supporting alice in chains years ago.awesome band.

'

'dust' was amazing album.

[Bradders]

90-100% of the bands on the lineup are pop, nowt wrong with that. Some play pop songs with guitars, some use synths or other instruments, but it's all pop music.

Little Boots is ace, I hope she plays.

[JBarbour]

Yeah let's start this shit again!

My fav definition of pop:

music of general appeal to teenagers; a bland watered-down version of rock'n'roll with more rhythm and harmony and an emphasis on romantic love.

But I'd stick to:

any genre of music having wide appeal (but usually only for a short time)
