The BBC Sounds 2012 have just been announced today. Not many surprises there, happy that there a few personal faves of ours such as Friends, Niki and The Dove and Dry The River. We've been listening to tracks for these bands a fair amount throughout the year and absolutely love Azealia Banks. I guess the polls show that voters are from various backgrounds/ genres which can be seen the diversity of the music genres of the acts; as genres such as pop, rnb, acoustic. Although saying that you dont get jazz or blues or country acts on there, so I guess the artists have to have that commercial appeal to be there.

Full results list can be found here:

Everything Changes...

We're going to be changing our tumblr... let's face it, posting continuous clippings is boring, so we thought we would make this a bit more personal and more like a blog. No-one likes a company with no soul and becomes a faceless enterprise, right?? 

So fingers crossed, expect posts and regular updates that most of the time will probably be of no interest from the individuals incorporated within the Theo PR team.

I for one am excited... time to say the usual, Watch this space.
