Jackson is a rock artist from the north of England. His songs are the musical expression of his life; the thoughts, feelings, dreams and fears set to music. Influenced by many artists and genres from yesteryear to today, he’s invented a unique take on guitar rock, using poetic song structures, anthemic choruses, punchy blues solos and his own talent for self-reflection, which he calls ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Soul’. Sugar is a smooth, slide-guitar-driven, pop-rock song about love and obsession, taken from the eight-track album Rock ‘n’ Roll Soul (available on iTunes and Amazon).

SLAM CARTEL WISHING EYE
13
It only took a string of highly praised live performances for London-based rockers Slam Cartel to earn a slot at Sonisphere Festival in 2010. As they prepared to release debut album Handful of Dreams, the band was invited back to Knebworth in 2011. Their Seattle-tinged stadium hooks conquered fans, critics and airwaves, with singles Sundown and Wishing Eye championed by rock radio around the UK and Planet Rock playing the tracks around 25 times a week. Despite being totally self-funded and unsigned the band keeps attracting media attention, recently enlisting the support of a major rock publication.

ESO THE DIVIDE
12
As esOterica they toured with Marilyn Manson, graced the airwaves of BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, XFM and Planet Rock and built up an army of dedicated followers who turned out in force when they headlined Shepherds Bush Empire for their last album. Now they’re back with a new name; ESO, a new sound and a new album produced by legendary rock producer Matt Hyde. With new songs that wouldn’t be out of place alongside Skrillex or Young Guns and having sold out their first headline show of 2012, ESO are hotly tipped for huge things...

SUBSOURCE THE FEEDING
14
Rising against the mainstrels, crowds of the nameless and faceless writhe and twist to the sound of SUBSOURCE as it rages out of soundsystems in sweat-drenched rooms. The snarl of punk, the oscillating sub bass of dubstep, the relentless ferocity of drum’n’bass and metal get chewed up and spat out amongst electronic glitches. This beat and bass-driven live punk rock act make ravers throw shapes, rockers bang heads, and rude bois throw their hands in the air. With remixes for Foster The People, Skindred and an underground ReSmashed series, their most exciting recordings date prove SUBSOURCE are ones to watch.
