AJ's Review: OK, so if you know who these guys are youre probably thinking - WHY THE HELL ARE DONKEYBOX in your picks?

The reason? Because theyve got this great stage presence that makes you crave for more. Like a really hot french fry that you wanna stab someone in the eye with.

Oh, and these guys dont have any downloads...what a suprise!

AJ's Review: I absolutely adore these guys. Saw them twice, and loved their performance at the Rock Idols Finalls - I thought they should have been winners.

I thought they had a very OC, well no...a very American touch to them.

Theyre the kind of band you know Marvin Gaye would be making out to. Just giving someone a piece of the horizontal hoola in line with the slick bass beats that accompany a few of their tracks.

If you like your music, you will like Truepenny.

AJ's Review: Boy can the lead singer move. She had my eyes glued for the whole damn set. Not only that, the bass and cello take you to a place you just wanna gyrate all night long...

Jazz, blues, funk - its a little bit of everything, just sexed up.

AJ's Review: Joney loves em, the crowd loved em, I love em!

Essex was a crap heat in terms of good bands - well, on the most part. You had bands like 4ft Pimp who blew your nipples off in excitement.

Not only are they a great live act, theyve got the tracks to back it up!

AJ's Review: My complete and total favourites of the whole Rock Idols competition last year, apart from BISON of course, but thats a different story.

Its something youve heard before as youve never heard it. I love the voice and bass symphony, and the tracks theyve produced will have you wanting to serenade bus drivers.

AJ's Review: Theres only really one reason these guys are a pick this week...:0)

The music of course...!
