New Blood Says… Be Quiet!
In a bizarre and dramatic u-turn this month I’ve been digging the acoustic stuff, which means a departure from the usual sausage fest!

We’re Not Worthy – Hit The Ground Running
As my CD player closes and I see the disc begin to spin I don’t think I’m fully prepared for what was about to happen to me when the first sounds of Hit The Ground Running break through and began to captivate my ear. Quietly and secretly, We’re Not Worthy have worked and worked, creating some joyfully boisterous moments for this EP.
New Blood Goes to Derby
Why? I imagine is the first question you’d ask but bear with me. Think of a city in the East Midlands with a slowly dying industrial heritage, an ugly modern shopping centre which sticks out like a sore thumb…
Bear Trap – Chalk Outline
Bear Trap have kindly given The Monograph a sneak-peek at their forthcoming EP, bringing together everything a fan of Post-Hardcore yearns for: cathartic screams, overzealous distortion & overblown riffs, together with a generous dollop of electrical effects.
Diet Pills
Although only nominally a Leicester band these days with members now spread across the Midlands, Diet Pills are well worthy of a mention here as they have just recently put out their first LP after a 7” and split release with Dead in the Woods…
Hey Nostradamus
Being only one gig old, having debuted at the recent White Noise festival, HN have a fine pedigree. Among their ranks are Joe (ex Sub Rosa) and Dave (ex TEAM/Death Of London)…
Jack Kenworthy
Jack Kenworthy is the self described “Indie/Electro/ Pop/Jazz kind of thing” that is soon to croon his way onto the scene this summer, with dulcet tones fused with ambient and a dash of electro thrown in for good measure, you would be advised to jump on the wagon now…
Meberob
Meberob is mainly a solo project, combined occasionally with other musicians, that we just couldn’t resist telling you about. Based around lead singer and songwriter, Rob Taylor, these guys never fail to impress with their music on and off stage…
Chezza
Despite what the slightly townie name might suggest, Chezza is more than just one man. Well, yes, Chezza is a man (one who doesn’t like COD apparently) but it is more than that, Chezza is a band, more than that a great band, but even more than that Chezza is the latest bunch of bright-eyed local lads who are taking the city by storm…
Stephen and the Heathens
Move over bright and sparkly indie pop, the dark side of the genre is returns, wants its fans back and it’s not taking no for an answer. Leading the resurgence is the new Leicester trio known as Stephen and the Heathens, a raw, trans-atlantic sounding group of have-nots who have their sights set on big things…
Dark Dark Horse
Dark Dark Horse is the mysterious electronic project from Jamie Ward and James Stafford that is making waves all the way to Japan. The band is a fusion of fellow leicester electrolites Kyte and Silent Devices and appear to be following in their footsteps…
