Fronted by the charismatic and
falsely named 'Seymour Glass', MissBlackAmerica are sure to be
hitting the big time, like, SOON! One of the best new bands in the
country, with a comprehensive website to match, it lists unhealthy
amount of gig dates, and features a lively guestbook.

Another Bury St Edmunds band
intent on making the world listen, Miss:Spelt Yoof have an aura of
not just worldy wiseness and laid-back coolness, but also extreme
funkiness. They played with us in Ipswich, proving that, as confirmed
in their song 'Shoe', they really do have a sense of humour. Way too
good to be pigeonholed as nu-metal.

The folks who produce the
baby-barbecueing, radiation emitting Bury fanzine mmmmjuicy have
converted their own brand of sick humour and glam worship into html.

Yes, it's not just Bury that has
exciting young bands vieing for attention. Fellow Ipswichians
Saturnine Sun recently won their heat at the Colchester Twist's
annual band comp, encountering flying underwear on the way. Check

Our guitarist has been cheating
us! He's part of punk band One Day Life, who boast a proffessional
looking website. Singer Max and his girlfriend think we're the
campest band around - we suspect they're probably one of the
crappest. Just kidding!

'Drowned In Sound' is a website
devoted to promoting some of the best new bands in the country...a
bit like NME.com but without the Strokes-worship.

The afformentioned big brother to
Drowned In Sound, NME.com is perhaps the biggest source of alt-music
info on the web. Like Madonna, NME.com is constantly changing it's
appearance and, also like Madonna, is often of little substance.

Fans of indie-gods Hefner will
love their fabulously kitsch pop-art website, complete with diary
section, audio, and a selection of storys and photographs by Darren
Hayman himself. Watch out for Jack The Hat floating across your
screen, sporting his trademark...hat!

Way superior to the official site,
'Stay Beautiful' is the most comprehensive Manics source on the web.
