Territory, however also finds Two Hours Traffic discovering the shadows at the side of the road.

What has become The Finishing School today began as a humble acoustic trio in 2001, under the guise of EmcTrio. This soon grew to include a cello and drum kit. Armed with this array of strings and percussion the EmCQuintet began to flirt with audiences all over Adelaide. As the seasons passed things changed, as they do. An electric bass was found, and then later a cello was lost, and various musicians found their way in or out of the band.

Rush In Attack are a four piece melodic Indie Rock band based in Melbourne, Victoria. In the past year they have been tearing up Melbourne venues such as The Espy, The Arthouse, Pony, IDGAFF, Pogo and Noise Bar with their extremely catchy Pop Rock tunes. Ask them about their influences and you’ll get a wide variety of bands from early 90’s Britpop to Twitchy Electro to Melodic Hardcore. That’s the beauty of Rush In Attack, their sound can only be described as a modern mash up of the last 70 years of popular music in one explosive live set like an 8-Bit assault on the senses.

Electric Guest is an LA based duo comprised of Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton. Having worked with genius producer, Danger Mouse on their melancholy indie pop tracks, it's no wonder these catchy tunes are catching the ears of many. Featured on MTV's list of Artists To Watch in 2012, Electric Guest obviously has the potential to rise as a new staple of the indie-pop genre.
