Last year the Adelines played at T in the Park, SWN festival, the Great Escape and alot more different festivals. They're an indie quartet driven by guiatars and soft lyrics from Swansea, England and looked amazing live at T in the Park.
Open air festivals are common in Britain. Europe's largest free ticketed festival, Radio Ones Big Weekend, isn't like most festivals. It moves and this year its in Glasgow.
On Bandcamp theres a lot of different music. Most of the time all the artists I come across are from far a field. From amazing places like New York and California. So when an amazing sounding band are from Edinburgh I'm instantly going to listen to them, because they're closer to home and are brave enough to say their from Scotland in the first place.
When someone says publicly that their an unsigned artist it says a few things about them. Not that their a bad musician but that they love their work and that the right people haven't heard them yet. In a sense its better to hear an unsigned band because when they get signed and famous you've supported them from the every start. That's one reason why I love this band so much.
