Port Isla – Adventures
Norwich folk rock band Port Isla also featured last year in Emerging #8, and the strength of their wonderfully melodic sounds is repeated again in Adventures, while having seen them last weekend I can testify that they’re superb live too!
[Sorry – track removed from soundcloud]
Saskwatch – I Get Lonely
This is a great piece of soulful RnB, full of brass, and surely guaranteed to have you dancing. As with Port Isla, they were brilliant live last weekend at the Glastonbury music festival here in the UK.
Land of the Giants – The Drop
You can’t really pigeonhole Plymouth band Land of the Giants, but their blend of indie, ska, and blues rock is highly entertaining, while they put on a great live show, as they proved last weekend too!
The Cut Throat Razors – In Love With Your Lover
If you like ska influenced pop with a nice chuck of brass then Glasgow 10-piece The Cut Throat Razors should appeal, while also check out their excellent ‘gospel ska’ track Freedom from Emerging #16.
Four excellent but contrasting sounds make up Emerging #21, so have a listen to find out which one is your favourite…
Tripwires – Shimmer
Lovers of a more mid-paced but joyously noisy alternative rock should lap this track up from Reading band Tripwires.
The Pebbles v Ben Landis – I Never Met No One Like You
This is a wonderfully quirky piece of synth pop from a pair of promising teenagers from Brighton. [sorry – track removed from soundcloud]
The Luck – Muscles and Bones Muscles & Bones perfectly highlights the sublime vocals and strong melodies from acoustic duo The Luck, and is the title track from their excellent new EP.
The Pocket Gods – Searching for the Divine
Priding themselves as the being the “second best band in their village” (after The Zombies), this track is a great example of the hypnotic style of psychedelic rock that The Pocket Gods perform.

Bedfordshire blues rockers the Paul Hegley Band return with this excellent new single. I’ve seen them live a few times too and I can vouch that you’d have an excellent night if you enjoy a bit of blues.
Lost Winter – Secret Book Secret Book is a delightfully brooding piece of instrumental electro with indie influences from Huddersfield band Lost Winter.
