Roll Deep, the East London crew who brought you Dizzee Rascal and Wiley, have finally stepped out of the Grime underground scene. Currently riding high in the singles charts with the deliriously bright and breezy Avenue, the group are receiving widespread airplay. The song is based on Heartache Avenue by eighties one-hit wonders The Maisonnettes. After hearing it while returning from an out of town gig, Wiley tracked the song down and chopped it up, recorded the Roll Deep MC's over it and within days, the monster summer hit was born!

A year ago feeling totally alone, having just split from her boyfriend, parted ways with her record company - without releasing a note - and having just suffered a bad hair cut, 27 year old Alexis Strum swerved to the side of the road and, in the absence of pen and paper, started singing into her phone. Alexis' debut single is the consequence of those few minutes on the hard shoulder. Bad Haircut is simply a starkly honest song, warmly reminiscent of The Cardigans and Carole King, about obsession and love. But don't fool yourself into believing that she is merely a newcomer to the music industry, the songstress from Chingford, Essex, has written for both Kylie and Rachel Stevens.
