Records
This Feeling Records is an extension of a night out at This Feeling. The label will release singles by bands that we like and are pretty sure you’ll like too. No mention here of units sold, demographics, airplay charts, white pointy shoes, cool lists and all that shit. Just ruddy good music. That’s what it’s all about in our book. Bang!
Penguins
There are few CVs in rock'n'roll that can include membership Oasis and The Whosimultaneously, but then you'd expect nothing less from Zak Starkey.
Well now it's time for a new band from the sticksman, Penguins, who having supportedKasabian at the summer's iTunes festival strike out with song HateMale.
"Me and [singer] Sshh started the band around two years ago as we had been writing and recording between Sshh's art work and my other musical stuff," Starkey tells Q of his new band's history. "Penguins sounded great straight off and since we started gigging again it seems to be snowballing. NME

Jersey Budd
“A plumber by day, Jersey is set to kiss kitchen sinks goodbye with his gravelly tones and Dylanesque guitar. This boy is going to be as big as fellow Leicester lads Kasabian.” The Sun
“Jersey has KOKO eating out of his guitar hardened hands, storming through Oasis go honky tonk rollock rockers like Shotgun Times to nothing less than adulation” NME

KAV
"This blagger is a latterday Jagger!" The Guardian
“Oozing testosterone, it sounds like it's been marinated in JD and soaked in Marlborough smoke along the way..... Imagine Shaun Ryder-meets Bob Dylan with a big injection of off-your-face techno and you're almost there." THE SUN
“Blaggers & Liars EP” and “Rock Chick” available on iTunes and CD here
Life In Film
No single comparison can be made to do the sound of hugely talented, new London 4-piece, ‘Life In Film’ justice and the obligatory name checks are more inspirational than influential.
“Life In Film are of that new, bar has been raised, breed… It’s the kind of light and dark mind-f*ck that Radiohead used to do so, so well.” The Independent
Now Kings Of Leon have officially nailed themselves to the stadium rock post, enter London's Life In Film - a sharply produced Indie Rock quartet who soundlike veterans on this hit worthy track. Something For The Weekend The Sun

Wheels
Wheels debut single “Feel About Me” sounds like a band who have been doing this for years. Full of confidence and just the right amount of swagger, this song is all infectious bass and clever vocals. The band manage to echo Britpop in a way that doesn’t rip it off; instead they have put their own twist on it and this track will be gracing indie dance floors for a long time to come. An ambitious and well formed debut, Wheels are certainly ones to watch for 2011.
