11 reasons to listen to this CD ... The Escalator CD, which accompanies MW this week, features 11 tracks from key up-and-coming acts from the east of England.(Eat Anglia)

1. Broken Family Band: It's All Over

Broken Family Band possess an effortless ability to pen joyful country-tinged pop songs that'll charm the pants off the listener on a first listen. Their third and latest album, Balls, showcases a broader indie-rock edge to their sound which should take their music to a far wider audience. Formed in Cambridge in 2001, they recently signed their publishing to Mute Songs.

2. The Urban Myth Club: I Feel It

Music Week first playlisted this track in July and it is great to be able to get it on the CD some months on. It's an interesting song that owes much of its appeal to a freshness and originality that sets it apart from the rest of the pack. The Urban Myth Club are a lo-fi collective of songwriters, vocalists and producers who occupy a similar stylistic space to Lemon Jelly and Zero 7 among others. The outfit has performed at Glastonbury and The Big Chill.

3. The Shivers: Sleepy Bye Bye

Sleepy Bye Bye is a mid tempo, rollicking blues track that sits somewhere in the middle of an acoustic Led Zeppelin and Kings Of Leon. The Cambridge-born combo were part of the in The City showcases earlier this month where their ballsy, noisy performances went down a treat. The band will perform with Broken Family Band on October 28--a good opportunity to check out both bands at once.

4. RTC: Luther Blisset
