Norell & The Dub Factory

| Norell & The Dub Factory |
"An unusual mix of Dub/Reggae tracks with Rock-Pop vocals create Norell & The Dub Factory’s unique sound for all to enjoy.
When people think about Italian music, most people will think of the late Luciano Pavarotti or Andrea Boccelli amongst many other amazing opera singers. Norell & The Dub Factory are an Italian Band here to prove that Italians can rock! Singer, Norell and bass player, Niko set up Norell & The Dub Factory in September 2014 in order to divert from mainstream Italian pop and instead create an original Anglophone project. Niko, a very experienced writer, was able to introduce Norell to Reggae music and she fell in love straight away. Niko's rhythms and nuances are soft and 'dub', making every song unique but also commercially viable and easy to listen to. The name of the band gives an insight into Niko’s method of songwriting - relentless, passionate and technically precise. The first single to be released was “Shake Your Body”. Both their first single and their ep are available on iTunes, ReverbNation.com and several other online outlets."

Brightlight City
"Slice up some British punk, add a teaspoon of the Seattle sound, a dash of pop melodies and a few scoops of tasty rock riffs seasoned with hardcore and you have BRIGHTLIGHT CITY.
A rock band made up of long term friendship and brotherhood, brought together by their shared love of bands such as Hundred Reasons, Million Dead, Foals, Yourcodenameis:milo, At the Drive-In, Refused, Hell Is for Heroes, Thrice, Biffy Clyro and Jimmy Eat World.
The Surrey five piece started 2014 by releasing 3 songs coupled with mini tours encompassing the UK which they steadily built on their existing fan base. Soon after they headed back into the studio to record their debut EP, ‘Breaking Straight Lines’ with producer Jason Wilson (You Me At Six, Fightstar, We Are The Ocean, Reuben).
The band's aim was to capture the energy and intensity that is present in their live shows, by building on their melodic pop hooks, dovetailing guitar riffs into sweet grooves and setting it to a pulse pounding rhythm section. As Jamie Giarraputo (vocalist & lyricist) states, “We wanted to capture the enthusiasm and positivity that is the essence of the band, but also not shy away from writing a set of anthemic rock pop songs.”
Check out their official website here: http://www.brightlightcityofficial.co.uk/ Their new release 'Adventures' will be available from 15th May onwards via iTunes.
El Deyma
"All three members of this London based rock band have an international background. Flo has lived in Paris, New York and Prague and has played with some amazing artists such as Dan Daecon, Mick Quinn (Supergrass) and Turner Harrison (TiNG). Giulio comes from Treviso, Italy, and has toured in China, Bosnia and Austria as a guitarist with Giorgio Barbarotta Finally, Dan built his own drum-kit at the age of seven and went on to become a professional drummer. He recently recorded with The Afterwards at Abbey Road Studios with the collaboration of Bill Bayley.
Before moving to the UK, El Deyma’s first single, UFO, was selected to appear on the “Le Son du Transilien” disc (100.000 copies). They were elected best band at the Bus Palladium in Paris in 2012. Since their UK adventure started, they have played several festivals: ROX Music Festival, Forever Sun Festival, Brentwood Festival, London’s Brixton Splash, Suoni Di Marca (Italy) and some famous London venues, such as Proud Camden, Vibe Bar, The Church, Lock17, Camden Rock, Paradise…
