New Urban Frontier are Edinburgh's fast-flowing muzikal mash-mash. A politicised punk-inspired dub-loving, soul-singing, ska-swinging six-piece live band with a rapper.
They came together with a passion to create a new sound. Politically charged noise for the new generation. Inspired by the punk ethos of old and the challenging voices of the few modern bands who seek to motivate, their aim is to blow apart the idea of being a 'genre'.
With a sound that is a high-paced mashup of punk, hip-hop, ska, and dub, while not quite being any of those they have garnered quite a reputation for their passionate live performances.
On the back of releasing their debut album 'Game of Capital', New Urban Frontier have played gigs across Scotland, including Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh and the North of England in Newcastle and Durham. They have also played stages at a number of festivals such as Kelburn Garden Party, Eden Festival, Audio Soup and the main stage at Doune the Rabbit Hole.
With new album 'Liquid City' on the way, they hope to push things further and get and get more people moving.
Dust off dem dancing shoes, and get spinning at 45rpm. YEAAAH.

Lorraine & The Borderlands are not your usual folk band, having been BBC introduced its fair to say a few songs may not fit folk like it should, but folk like it. Following their 4-star debut album this Edinburgh band are just about to release a new EP on 14/07/18 with a live concert at The Assembly Roxy, Edinburgh. 

Supremely talented singer/songwriter Lorraine’s songs are reminiscent of Natalie Merchant and The Waterboys and her band, The Borderlands, create vibrant arrangements with accordion, cello, fiddle, viola and mandolin.  Distinctive outstanding performers, not to be missed.

The Foo Birds are an independent five-piece whose unique musical partnership has been evolving for over a decade. Their music dynamically blends elements of nu-soul, RnB, jazz and pop and is characterised by the powerful voice of Kate Lister, with lyrics exploring the joys and vulnerabilities of being human in an ever-changing world.

LaBrassBanda is a brass band from Bavaria (they hail from Übersee near the Chiemsee) led by trumpet player and singer Stefan Dettl, who formed the band 2007 together with bassist Oliver Wrage, tuba player Adreas Hofmeir, trombonist Manuel Winbeck and drummer Manuel da Coll.

The group mixes folksy brass music with modern genres such as ska, techno, funk and punk. The band's self-produced debut album Habediehre was released in 2008 and quikly boosted the popularity of the group, as did their tour from Übersee to Vienna on the occasion of the 2008 European soccer championship (the group used mopeds and a tractor instead of a tour bus). A second album called Übersee was released in 2009, and the band started playing international concerts (in Russia, Zimbabwe and Denmark). In 2011, LaBrassBanda took a break from their constant touring, which allowed every band-member to pursue solo projects. In 2012, the band released a live album called LIVE Olympiahalle München.

Founded by the Doumnov Brothers (Russian ex-pats) and playing mostly original songs by composer Misha Doumnov, BOBÓK has vocals, accordion, violin, guitar, trumpet, trombone, bass and drums.

Bobók sing songs in 4 languages (English, Russian, Roma, SerboCroat).  Our original music takes elements of Russian Ska, Tango, Punk and Balkan Brass Bands and glues it all together with Cartoon Absurdism.  They are absurd romantic romps about displacement, travel, love, loss, the absence of bananas in Siberian concentration camps and of course, about Eating Your Head.

Bobók also adapt songs from Post-Soviet Ska, from Balkan Brass bands, as well as an uncanny cover of Screaming Jay Hawkins’ FRENZY!!!

Bobók are:
Misha Doumnov:  vocals, violin, electric guitar, original songs
Daniil Doumnov:  accordion, vocals, electric guitar
Balázs Hermann:  bass guitar
Oscar Mannoni:  drums
Richard Shore:  trumpet
