GILL MILLS UNCOVERS THE HOTTEST

NEW TALENT FOR 2008

 

 

The music industry is always a hot bed of new talent, but it can sometimes be difficult to discover the new music that really makes you tick. Well known music channels blast out playlists of already well known bands, but where do you go to find out about the latest new, non mainstream and unsigned bands to hit the scene?

 

Gill Mills now brings you all this and more from her show Flyposter http://flyposter.btpodshow.com/ which is available to download exclusively on BTPodShow, the broadband-entertainment network. She provides the latest news and reviews about the hottest new talent and introduces bands discovered through less traditional channels in order to bring you the freshest most up to date information.

 

Gill Mills’ top 5 bands for 2008.

 

1. The Ting Tings

2. Cobra Dukes

3. MGMT

4. Late of the Pier

5. Laura Marling

 

‘The Ting Tings’ who hale from Salford offer music fans a melodramatic alternative pop sound taking their influences from the likes of Blondie, Kate Bush and Bjork, whereas Brooklyn based ‘MGMT’ who describe themselves as ‘restlessly experimental and consumed with divine discontent’, appeal to those who prefer something more alternative.

 

Equally as experimental are ‘Cobra Dukes’ whose ghostly synthesizers and bubbling moog lines would delight any electronica fan , whilst ‘Late of the Piers’ genius use of synthesisers and ‘Laura Marling’s’ fragile yet feisty folk pop songs will leave you asking Amy who? This year.

 

A spokesperson for BTPodShow comments: “BT PodShow’s Flyposter programme provides music fans with easy access to the latest news and information, whether they log on at work, or download to their iPods.”

 

Gill Mills comments: “I am passionate about music and have seen many bands succeed and fail throughout my career as a music presenter. Too often music is spoon fed, so for the increasing number of you who like to discover for themselves, Flyposter is the ideal starting point. Lots of bands out there have it in them to be ‘the next big thing’, and it’s great fun finding them without the traditional means. We’ll give you an honest critique of the latest cutting edge music to hit our radars and have a bit of fun too”

 

Flyposter is just one of the shows available on BTPodShow; the online-entertainment network that allows users to play, collect, share and create millions of hours of programming, videos and music.

 

It sounds a really good idea, but already The Ting Tings are at the top and they are getting coverage in NME so surely they are getting noticed.
