THE BOY ROYALS
The Boy Royals bring their sound together with a love of iconic British bands, such as The Who and The Jam whilst blending it with the spikier side of britpop. Their attitude and ability to write such anthemic songs has seen the band sharing stages up and down the UK with the likes of Hard-Fi, Feeder, Lostprophets and The View.
The Boy Royals have gained support from numerous BBC Radio 1 and 6 music DJ’s, with their single ‘Teenage Sky’. Steve Lamacq chose them as his ‘new favourite band’ whilst Huw Stephens selected their single to be his ‘next hype’, as well as inviting them to play one of his select showcase nights.
DIRTY GOODS
Dirty Goods are a three piece band who make ‘music to dance to.’ Their sound has been described as “Dirty electronic-infused music, with a sound that call upon the vocal styling of Prince, mixed up with the synth-led sounds of Chromeo and MSTRKRFT” (Liverpool Sound City, 2011). Dirty Goods have had a busy year gigging all around the UK as well as recording their debut album, which is due for release on Necessary Records.
Along with a healthy loyal following in their native Newport, Dirty Goods have had a positive response online. They have racked up over half a million views on YouTube with several early videos, including “Know No Other” featuring Welsh MC ‘Tiny Skitz,’ a track recorded and produced by drummer Michael Gregory (the Hoods). “Know No Other” gathered over 50,000 views in one week and went on to be selected as a featured music video by YouTube.
The band deliver a live show full of energy, be sure to come along and check out Newport’s Dirty Goods.

THE PEOPLE THE POET (Acoustic)
After an impressive four years which has seen the band release two critically acclaimed releases (2009's 'They Don't Change Under Moonlight' and 2010's 'Seasons' EP), tour the length and breadth of the UK including Download and Sonisphere festivals and garner Radio One airplay, Tiger Please kicked off 2012 with the announcement of their official name change!
Their debut album ‘The Narrator’ brought about a realisation that it was time to leave Tiger Please behind and start afresh the new year with the People the Poet. Fans submitted stories to make up the body of the album and the weight of the bands responsibility to do the songs justice has forced a change.
Speaking of the name change, vocalist Leon Stanford states... 'Its sad to part with a name which we've seen so much success with, but we hope you will understand why we felt it was the right time for the change. This is more than just a simple change of a name - it is a tribute to the people who have trusted us with their stories, our fans.'
To showcase and celebrate the bands new direction two new the People the Poet songs can be heard at www.facebook.com/thepeoplethepoet - 'Being Human' (also available as a free download) and Norton produced 'Sing'.
