Right pop (rock/introspective folk) pickers.

Here is your chance to tip acts that most people will have never heard of for greatness.

The only prize is to be able to smugly say "I liked them before they were popular"

My picks.

Lucas - Band from Galway, opened for Damien in December in Vicar St. I've seen them live twice since, they were better both times.

Duke Special - Singer songwriter from Belfast.

Hmmmm I'd say Clone,a French local band that plays kind of dub/metal/hip-hop. Really original and pretty good (though I wouldn't buy the CD, I'm pretty sure they'll go far)

Ooooooohhh! ok these are a brill band, theyr called 'Dogs die in hot cars' theyr f**kin brilliant. N they will be huge. kinda hope they aren't tho I like not many ppl knowin them. So ssshhhhhhh dont tell any1[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]Wait is that selfish.yes, yes it is, ah well ill live!!


A singer/ songwriter called Jamie Lawson. hes not amazing or netin but has a really distinctive voice. so think hel do well.


And i think itl b the year of the chalets, seein as theyr gettin sum mtv exposure.


Theres more but my minds gone blank. I like this thread, well done ian[img]smileys/smiley32.gif[/img]

Do you have his CD? It was released two days ago or so. I have one of his EP's.

Bruised yearning vocals, I call them [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

i've heard of 'dogs die in hot cars' but i don't think i've actually heard any of their stuff


well there is a band i know who are based in london but come from where i live called Revolution45 they are really good...don't think they are signed yet. that's my tip, not that i'm biased or anything!! [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

The trouble with the music industry is that it'd rather have loads of crap than real talent, with exceptions of course, there's no money in it either, the beatles created it and then oasis and microsoft went and destroyed it!! My tips are many, but i just know that they won't get in unless they're sleeping with someone and even that won't guarantee anything..... am i being bitter??

By no means new but, this is specifically for the lasses. Men seem to love him at first glance.


Johnny Cash. lol... I knowwwwwwwwwwwww! Thing is if you're patient and let yourself get used to how particular his voice is and get passed what you wouldn't instinctively like you'll end up loving him to, I think anyway. A friend of mine forced repetitive exposures to him and now I love him. Some songs are SO SO SO much you think your heart will burst.
