London
PAYOLA
PAYOLA ? Classic indie rock fare. Abrasive Arctic Monkeys guitars and a bit of the old Britpop swagger, all presented with a bunch of corking tunes too.
Candy Opera ? A very nice pop jangle with elements of Merseyside artists like the Bunnymen and The Icicle Works for sure. Good tunes, yeah, and check the pedigree. ?Candy Opera? were formed in 1982 on the notorious Phythian Estate, Kensington, Liverpool. The band was heavily influenced by ?Love?s ? seminal ?Forever Changes? album, ?The Beach Boys?, ?Aztec Camera? and local neighbours, ?The Pale Fountains. Back together for your delectation Tonite.
The Raven Chords ? Americana, folk rock, psych and shugaze coalesce to create a mesmeric pop noir.
