Bit of a mixture from Newcastle in the UK, but there's some real talent around here. I really enjoy going along to open mic nights in Newcastle, some of them are pretty poor but in general there's at least a few people who have the balls to get on the stage and blast out some really nice stuff. There's some great electronic music nights around Newcastle too, including some that have lesser well known or local artists playing a set. The house music scene in Newcastle in particular is pretty great for this. Death to Indie are a pretty great pop-punk outfit that have been knocking about for a few years, they sound a lot better live than they do on their recorded stuff, which I always consider a pretty good thing, in particular for bands like this. I say it#s pop-punk rather than one or the other because as much as they want to be punk their stuff is far too 'radio friendly' for that, and some of their songs are a tad on the repetitive side. You can check them out here though - http://deathtoindie.bandcamp.com/ and for a music video, you can go here - http://youtu.be/3FR4HtH6bHY Going in a more country, and in particular folk direction is a solo artist named JD O'neill, who I've worked with before in producing a music video and is a genuinely great guy. The vast majority of his writing is all based on things that have happened to him, in particular with relationships, but there's a lot of material he wrote about his father dying and him losing faith in religion, that kind of thing. He sounds as good live as he does in recording, and there are videos of his live performances dotted about Youtube if you care to look for them, although I think most are filmed on phones and the like. You can check some of his stuff out here - https://soundcloud.com/jdoneill and for a music video from the single from his EP, "Deconstructing a Heart", here - http://youtu.be/8YmXuqljmek And for some electronic stuff, Joonipah is one of the most amazing House producers I've ever heard and he's exploding quite heavily in general now. There's not a lot I can really say about him beyond "if you enjoy House music at all listen to his stuff." You can check him out right here - https://soundcloud.com/joonipah
