Polly Mackey & The Pleasure Principle
This year Polly Mackey and the Pleasure Principle have played SXSW in Austin, Texas, won supajam against 1,700 other bands to play at FIB Heineken Festival in Benicassim, Spain played MTV Music Week, The Great Escape Brighton, and gigs across the UK - and now they are playing Sick!
"Polly has a FANTASTIC voice - strong with a really wonderful quality to it...it has something that makes me sad to my bones in a really good way...I definitely want to keep an eye on Polly, I think she is a great talent and I'd be very interested to see how she develops"
Marsha Shandur - XFM Radio
"Best...band name...ever.
The songs are catchy as hell but subtle with it. Polly can sure write a chorus with the best of them, all great melodic hooks that have some sadness in them...It's the folorn atmosphere she writes into her songs that's so addictive."
The Playground Magazine
".... Polly Mackey's voice resounds like Chan Marshall; vulnerable, tender but somehow impassioned and brutally enticing. Keep your eye focused on this precious 17-year-old prodigy"
Fly Magazine, LEVI'S Ones To Watch
The Mono LPs are one of the most original and interesting bands to come out of the North Wests recent explosion of new music. The Liverpool five-piece boasts an array of musical styles taken from the bands eclectic influences, which range from the intimate storyteller to the hard-edge guitar pounding RocknRoll. One of the things that set this band apart from most others is the unique sound of the cello weaving its way through the electric riffs and thumping bass lines. This array of musical ideas is fused together by a solid snapping backbeat which is laced with subtle harmonies completing this exciting and original sound.
"One of the livelier bands around right now , if not the liveliest, are Liverpool’s Town Bike who don’t fail to impress with their fun packed shows.
They dress in personalised bowling shirts and sound like The Ramones. Hell they could well be the forgotten offspring of Helen Love’s Debbie and Joey for all I know. The band have now released their début full length and it sounds exactly like their live shows which of course to these ears is brilliant."
