I am going to this, possibly alone (although i have booked a two-berth, just not persuaded any friends to come yet...), and was just having a little look at the line-up. I know quite a few of the bands playing and am really excited to see them, but there are lots of others i only know by reputation, or not at all.

So in order to broaden my knowledge of the bands playing that weekend, who should I educate myself about first? Considering that i know very little of:

ADEM »

A HAWK AND A HACKSAW »
