THE LOST LEVELS have traded on their obsession with computer games and mix of influences from Pink Floyd to Blur, to be tagged the "dark side of the moon for the 8-bit generation." The Lost Levels began as a collaborative project between Chris on keyboards and Iain on guitar - with both sharing the vocal duties - in late 2003. Sharing a love of computer games, the duo began penning a collection of songs based on the concept of game design and interaction.
Next up are THE LOYAL FEW, who will take just one song to make you realise why they have such a large following in Eastern England. Energetic stage presence is delivered from charasmatic lead singer Greg Hackett. These boys have been gigging like mad and have quite a few shows coming up. They certainly would not sound out of place in a lot of established acts repertoire. I predict a very bright 2008 for the band.
'Birminghams best kept secret', JODI LAWRENCE BAND have a lot to look forward to, Less than a year after forming , they are beginning to intrigue record labels with their combination of original writing and complex musicianship. Drawing in a range of influences, including jeff buckley, A perfect circle and Fleetwood Mac, it is almost too easy to describe their sound as beautiful. Beautiful it certainly is, but also emotionally resonant and often wonderfully unpredictable. Live, may represent something of an experience, fronted by the unashamedly jodi Lawrence who never fails to give her audience the best live performance and a voice that should be heard and definitely will be. Currently based between Birmingham and london this band should be caught now while still playing the smaller intimate venues.
