Diane Birch
This gorgeous starlet has been a favourite amongst Myspace fans for months. With her voice resembling that of Stevie Nicks it’s easy to see why her music is so popular with a variety of different crowds. Having influences such as The Carpenters, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles and Joni Mitchell has resulted in an eccentric and talented young artist with a very bright future ahead of her. http://www.myspace.com/dianebirch

The Alternate Routes
Definitely one of music’s best kept secrets, The Alternate Routes give you a little bit of everything plus more. Their mix of both classic, alternative rock songs along with more soft, laidback tunes, express the endless amount of talent this band possess. With tracks like “Ordinary” and “The Future’s Nothing New” you can see how these guys have become a myspace favourite. http://www.myspace.com/alternateroutes

Hanan Townshend
New Zealand’s own Hanan Townshend is one talented cat. Hailing from Wellington, Hanan has been kicking it in Austin, Texas in order to further himself as an artist. He has an unbelievably knack at pulling the listener in and lulling them with the soft folk quality of his music. If you like artists such as The Shins and Arcade Fire, than Hanan’s music is for you. http://www.myspace.com/hanantownshend


Mia Carruthers and the Retros
Although a “still-in-the-making” band, Mia and the Retro’s are worth keeping an eye on, from listening to a snippet from their upcoming E.P. it is safe to say that this band has a hopeful future to look forward to. Despite lead singer Mia only being 18, her stunning, pop-friendly voice is sure to blow away even the most cynical mainstream music haters amongst us. http://www.myspace.com/miacarruthers
