This week the winning review is of the album 'Contact!Contact!' by London-based indie group Tellison.

Contact!Contact! by Tellison - reviewed by Guards

The fact that members of Tellison study at Cambridge and Oxford universities should really prepare you for the fact that this album is going to intelligent and ground breaking. The end product however surpasses many of the expectations held, and is in fact an absolute masterpiece. The fusion of mathy elements with post-indie themes makes this a passionate and emotive listen; from the chaotic opening of Hanover Start Clapping to the beauty of Hospital, this is an album which will sit on constant repeat in your i-tunes.
For fans of: Dartz!, Tubelord, This Town Needs Guns.

Fast Track competition winner Oliver Hindle from Superpowerless and live band member Stevie have been in the studio recording the single Wasted My Time with renowned producer and DJ, Andy Chatterley.

Andy has been Grammy nominated as part of The Buick Project, and played keyboard and Synths on Kanye West’s Graduation album, most notably on the hit single Stronger.

Oliver said, ‘I am really pleased with the finished track and how far we managed to take it.
Working with Andy was awesome - he really liked the track so he was really enthusiastic about making it sound as good as possible. He taught me loads about mixing, composition and producing. He was really down to earth and we had a laugh as well.
Good times!’ 

And on Friday, Superpowerless were in North London shooting the music video for Wasted My Time with director Luc Janin, who has previously directed promos for Stereophonics, The Fratellis, Boy Kill Boy and Lethal Bizzle.

‘Making the video was really exciting – we’ve never done anything like it before.
I'm not sure why, but I always presumed they'd be shot in the same order that they would appear, so it seemed really random in the way that we did things.
Hopefully the finished product will show how much fun we had on the day!’

Wasted My Time will be available to download on Vodafone Live! from 23^rd March.

Seeing off competition from hundreds of entrants from around the world, 20 year old Oliver Hindle from .
Leeds, aka electro artist Superpowerless, is the winner of the MTV-Vodafone Fast Track competition!

In Oliver’s own words, Superpowerless make ‘Game Boy-fueled adventure-core’ music, and his winning song Wasted My Time is a perfect example of this cheeky and catchy electro-pop.

As part of the incredible prize, Superpowerless will be coming to ....London.... to record Wasted My Time in a studio session, with the single available for download through the Vodafone live! network, and take part in production of a music video for the track to be shown on MTV!
