Cindy Love

Just wondering what everyones favourite unsigned acts are?

I would've said Director but they've just signed. Love the vocals and they're a very tight band and still relatively young. Hope they do well.

Ham Sandwich

[LOST] and 66e. There's a few others also, but they'd be my top two at the moment.

they'll end up having to change that name though, not for legal reasons, just because people won't be able to disassociate it with the TV show (if that makes sense)

blu_sonic

Aren't giveamnaakick and waiting room signed to out on a limb???

Also Groom are the worst thing I've ever heard in my life :v: :v:

I'd say Large Mound, Skylight, 66e and Sylvan. And if your allowed tto inlude a fewer bigger ones, The Rednecks and Jape. The Dudley Corporation would top the list as I think their independant in Ireland aren't they? they are signed everywhere else in the world though...

i'm sure a few users with little posting history will also crop up!

i'm not referring to anyone so far by the way,
just that there was a similar thread here a year or so ago and it became a joke!

Jape and The Redneck's are on Trust Me I'm A Thief, but I think that might be their own label.
