Emerging acts - Who have you stumbled upon recently

[Badlands]

I really wanted to see the Mummers but was too lazy/wasted to get over to Avalon. Would love them to play the Park or JP next year.

[drewsstrat]

Not newly discovered but why don't they give Duke Special a slot

great band unique vocalist

[mcmenace]

The same 2 I was going to say!

[splinterbungee]

Funnily enough I tried to take in some unsigned or little known stuff at Glasto this year (not nearly enough if I'm honest) and saw 2 Door Cinema Club at the BBC Introducing tent. I though they were really good and would go see them again. Their sound reminded me a bit of Editors, but not in the "I wish I was deaf" way if that makes any sense.

[Langdale Wolf]

Years ago, I stumbled upon a classic track by an unsigned band called Moist Bamboo. I think they've now renamed themselves Toy Horses - click here for their website

Click on the track 'But What About The Future?' - it's amazing! I'd love to hear that at Glasto in the sun with a nice cool pint of cider on the go. Lovely, quirky song.

They're still unsigned, but I'd love to see them make it. Uplifting music is always good.

[Onion Terror]

Really into the band Girls at the moment. The song "Hellhole Ratface" is really worth listening to on Spotify

[idb]

If you like them then you should listen to LOOK SEE PROOF who I've just discovered, there quite similar.

Anyone who used to be a fan of Sheffield band Milburn should checkout Joe Carnall & The Book Club, the lead singer's new band, also containing ex Arctic Monkey Andy Nicholson.

Slowclub in the Acoustic tent would be special

Miike Snow - any tent

The Young Republic - Everywhere

Mmmmm, not sure if this is the sort of thing you mean, but surely Frank Turner?

I know his star is rising very quickly at the moment and if it carries on at its current rate he will be high on the bill on the second stage, but Frank has got to play.
