| Kaiser Chiefs - Yours Truly, Angry Mob Second album from Leeds indie band who shot to fame with their three-million-selling 2005 debut 'Employment'.

| KT Tunstall - Drastic Fantastic 'Drastic Fantastic' is the second album from Scottish folk-pop singer-songwriter KT Tunstall. Continuing in the same vein as her previous 'Eye To The Telescope' LP, this release features the single 'Hold On'. |
| The Pigeon Detectives - Wait For Me The debut album from Leeds quintet The Pigeon Detectives. Produced by Will Jackson (Kaiser Chiefs/Embrace) and mixed by Cenzo Townshend and Steve Harris, the album sees the band deliver an urgent mix of up-tempo British indie rock, taking influence from the likes of The Clash, The Libertines and The Kinks. The singles 'I'm Not Sorry', 'I Found Out' and 'Romantic Type' are included. |

| Newton Faulkner - Hand Built By Robots The debut album from Surrey-based funk-folkster Newton Faulkner. Taking his cue sonically from acts such as Jack Johnson and James Morrison, the album is a collection of slow-burning good-time classics-in-the-making. Includes the single 'Dream Catch Me'. |
| Blowzabella – Octomento Blowzabella play hurdy-gurdies, bagpipes and an array of acoustic instruments to produce an inimitable, driving drone-based sound influenced by British and European traditional dance music. |
| The Verve - This Is Music This definitive collection from the Verve brings together their biggest hits for the first time. From their debut single 'All In The Mind' through to all four singles which were released from their final - and most successful - album 'Urban Hymns'. |
| The Wombats - A Guide to love, loss and desperation Debut album from indie hopefuls The Wombats. A perky collection of sprightly indie pop anthems, this album is a must for fans of bands such as Good Shoes, The Futureheads and The Housemartins. Includes the single 'Let's Dance To Joy Division'. |
