Hi there,

This week I've been scouring the net for the best new and unsigned bands that deserve a little publicity, and frankly this week's band are very deserving.

Heading up Manchester's Alternative scene are the phenomenal "Airship". This unsigned Manc band recently featured in Channel M's "One's to watch 09" and its easy to see why.

With gorgeous, melodic vocals and catchy lyrics the band are set to stomp all over 2009 and get some rightly deseverd publicity.

The band sound like a cross between Radiohead, without the annoying frontman, and Snow-Patrol having a drink with Mumm-Ra.

Their new EP "Spirit of the Beehive" is currently available on Itunes and features stand out tracks like "This is Hell" a harmonic sensation for the ears, and "So After All" a stand out teen anthem with catchy, energetic lyrics.

You can catch the band on tour now, and at £3.16 the EP is well worth a listen. Great Band.
