The Auteur

All blended together to form a really English sounding Pop Rock Explosion of catchy riffs and sing-a-long anthems. This summer (2009) they played Download festival, T In The Park, Slam Dunk & Sound City. The band have been touring all over the UK since they formed and have released a debut single called 'Hey! Watch This...' out on LAB Records on the 6th April, followed by their debut EP 'Nightcap' release on 22nd June 2009. Look out for this band as they might just change your life...

Home Star Runner
‘Homestar runner’ are a four piece pop punk band from Dublin. Following on from their well received ‘Close to Home’ EP comes their debut album, released on Blastspace records. They’ve built up a loyal fanbase, over the past couple of years, by playing Blastspace all ages gigs with legendarily energetic live performances.
Their sound is that of the early Noughties and mirrors the Pop Punk melodies of yesteryear. The breaks and stops are upbeat and rough, the structures are edgy and refreshing, and whether it be the slow rhythmic downbeats or the jumping highs, this bands first album is far stronger than any debut is ever expected to be. - Verse One Magazine

"The four songs on this record are done well and will leave you with a smile on your face - and if that sounds like your thing, Canada Water could well be the band for you."- Punktastic
