Reinventing axl rose: Amos The Transparent.
Amos the Transparent is the brainchild of Ottawa songwriter Jonathan Chandler - a soft-spoken talent with a faultless ear. Along with drummer and primary collaborator Christopher Wilson, the duo refined material that was written over a period of several years.
One of Amos the Transparent�s most defining characteristics is their authentic delivery and ability to capture a mood. Lyrical themes of love and loss, hope and despair channel the spirit of Elliott Smith while the songwriting evokes the minimalist charm of Wilco.

The flying club cup: Belle And Sebastian.
Belle & Sebastian is a band from Glasgow. Led by guitarist/vocalist Stuart Murdoch, the seven-piece band has an intimate, majestic sound that is equal parts folk-rock and �60s pop. Murdoch has a gift for not only whimsy and surrealism, but also for odd, unsettling lyrical detail which keeps the songs grounded in a tangible reality.
Based in Glasgow, Scotland, Belle & Sebastian released their first two albums in 1996 Tigermilk recorded over three days and If You Are Feeling Sinister recorded in a week, at the peak of the chamber pop movement.
