The “twobythree” EP dropped through my door and I put the call out to our posse of up and coming illustrators to see who was brave enough to take on these three intense bands. And here’s the results…
Jam with RoBina are a fantastic new band hailing from Pontrypridd, we invited the Crayola King Steve Rack to visually review their debut album “Visions of a Runic”.

Three fantastic bands in one night we couldn’t miss out on this!, so we sent Chris Barber one of our up and coming photographer/reporter who has a strong interest (and great taste) in music along to their gig in Birmingham to tell us how they shaped up.
Everyone keeps telling me about this fantastic Manchester based band The Vipers, so I sent the fabulously talented Nickie McGowan to Night and Day to check them out.

SUBvert went to check out Velvet Revolver at their gig at Manchester, Apollo and we also had the pleasure of interviewing the very charming Duff McKagan
SaidMike are a five piece synth-rock band from Pontypridd who have been around for over four years performing up and down the country. We sent our roving Welsh reporter/photographer Ceri along to their gig in Swansea and this is what he had to say.
“Robots in Disguise” are an exciting emerging new band, with fantastic songs, amusing videos and a colourful image. I came across Swedish designer Anneli Olander’s beautiful work on myspace and thought she was the perfect lady to visually review the bands latest single “We’re In the Music Biz”
We invited a whole host of creative people to submit their visual interpretations of songs from XFM’s Debut sessions. We then selected the best two “Visual Reviews” which successfully represented the songs. And here they are….
“Into the Wild” is the first solo album from Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder based on his contributions to the soundtrack for the film of the same name.
