- WAKEY WAKEY RISE & SHINE (Bristol) -
FFO: Devo | Omni | Talking Heads
A full bodied five piece with floral notes, earthy undertones and a smooth finish, Wakey Wakey Rise & Shine, a combination of psychedelic synths and high-octane energy, are a five piece group from Bristol.
The band have been generating new fans through their unpredictable live shows with their music receiving airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing in the West and featured in The Unsigned Guide's Spotlight blog.
- Y DAIL (South Wales) -
FFO: Belle & Sebastian | Serge Gainsbourg | Cate Le Bon
Y Dail formed in Pontypridd, South Wales in 2018 and the band's songwriter, Huw Griffiths (19) has seemed intent on continuing his run of highly melodic intelligent pop songs ever since, citing Television, 60s girl-group pop, Joe Meek and early Prefab Sprout as influences.
Marc Riley has championed the band on his BBC 6Music show, calling Griffiths’ songs “perfect pop”, and national treasure Gruff Rhys has called the band “magnificent”, with Y Dail previously performing a radio session for BBC 6music’s Huw Stephens, who has been a long term fan.
