Sentric Music - helps unsigned bands collect PRS publishing royalties, sync their music to TV adverts, get digital distribution via iTunes and more.

THE TIGERPICKS

With influences ranging from the purest pop to the New York scene of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Liars, The Tigerpicks obscure the boundaries and it’s this mix of sounds that convinced Deltasonic/Columbia Records to sign the band. Having so far released one single, the high energy Disco Punk Electro Punk, the band’s debut album will follow later this year. Time in the studio has limited their live performances in 2008 but with an appearance at the Pohoda Festival in Slovakia scheduled in mid-July, the band have a busy second half of the year ahead.

BRIGADIER AMBROSE

Hailing from Chatham in Kent, Brigadier Ambrose’s music is a healthy mix of influences including Pavement, The Smiths and Super Furry Animals. Having so far turned down two record deals in order to keep control of their music, the band certainly haven’t missed out on anything with heavy backing across the nation’s airwaves on stations including BBC Radio 1, 2, 6 Music and XFM. Third single, ‘Mrs Peel We’re Needed’ was released in mid April and a forthcoming highlight for the band is guaranteed to be a performance at Z008 Festival in July.

KICK BOX RIOT

South Wales rockers Kick Box Riot are another recent Sentric artist that are doing it for themselves. After self funding and releasing their debut EP in March the band have been picking up fans across the country and play the main stage at this year’s Wakestock festival alongside musical heavyweights such as Mark Ronson and Funeral For A Friend. Watch out over the coming months for the band as they appear in magazines such as Rock Sound and Total Guitar and towards the end of the year when they plan to release another single.

MARRIED TO THE SEA

With influences from Abba to Motown, The Pixies to Grandaddy, it could be said that Married to the Sea are out on their own at the moment amongst British bands when it comes to an original sound. The Liverpool based four-piece have gone from strength to strength of late and with a live session on BBC Radio 2 complete, they will be hitting the festivals this summer with sets at Glastonbury and the Secret Garden Party already confirmed.

WOLF PEOPLE

Wolf People are difficult to pigeon hole. With influences ranging from rock, folk, psych, and the most obscure cuts in your cool dad’s record collection, you have to listen to believe. The London based band have so far released singles through the Battered Ornament and Sea record labels, and have picked up fans across the UK music press as well as on radio shows such as BBC 6Music’s Freak Zone.

Another single is due out in late summer as well as a performance at this year’s Green Man Festival so be sure to check them out.
