Jon Bailey aka MC Wrec is regarded as one of Britains most exciting artists and music entrepreneurs. Known as one of the hardest workers on the circuit, this versatile young grafter shot to fame in recent years after becoming the front man to the multi award winning live act London Elektricity and his work with accliamed eclectic acts The Nextmen, Stanton Warriors and Timo Maas. The Surrey born vocalist who spent time growing up in Berlin, London, Southampton and Brighton, discovered his love for music at a very young age.

Sweet juicy and unique, Pear and the Awkward Orchestra are a quirky, memorable musical offering; whimsical folkpoproots from a mini-orchestra of diverse instrumentation and sparse arrangements supporting an emotive and powerful voice and gritty, personal songs. Pear and the Awkward Orchestra are Brisbane-based. EP Russian Doll, released end 2007, has enjoyed critical acclaim and regular airplay and orchestrated the grassroots rise of this unique band.

The rabble-rousing Rocketsmiths are at it again, with the release of new single ‘Underground’ – the Brisbane quintet’s rock ode to riding a slippery slope into depravity. Whether an autobiographical tale or not, the track is the first sign of the good times to come from their Magoo produced debut album titled The Bones, to be released nationally mid-year. The antipated debut album moves firmly in the direction of indie-rock and punk party jams, following the country/rockabilly tinged explorations of the EPs Parts, Pieces and Meet Horace And Clyde.
