The Top Ten Blogged Band Chart is played every Sunday 5-7pm on Radio KC as part of Ralph's Indie Show.
No 1...Jay Stansfield
Variously described as - original, affecting and a tad bonkers, North West musician Jay Stansfield has consistently provided us with an eccentrically pleasing back catalog of music. He's recently added to that with his third; and for me, best album Birth And Death
No 2...The Little Secrets
No 3...Fold
No 4...Milton Star
Milton Star are Alan Wyllie and Graeme Currie who write and record their unique blend of indie and dark country in a converted church in darkest Fife.
No 5...The Old Border

It's the first track off their soon to be released debut EP Rehearsed In The Mirror and reflects their musical influences nicely.
No 6...Elephant Memoirs
Formed in 2013 by John Aspinall, Barry Drew and Carl Aspinall they've been working hard to create a catalog of original material which they've been performing on a regular basis throughout the North east of England.
No 7...The Black Lamps
Describing themselves as a post-rock ambient guitar band, The Black Lamps have created a stunning selection of melodiously crafted 'shuffle and repeat' tracks that John Peel would have been happy to feature on his shows.
No 8...Filter Distortion
Due to Ralph's love of guitar type bands he's only occasionally reported on electronica, however on hearing Liverpool's Filter Distortion he's decided to buck that trend after the four piece finally emerged from a self-imposed year of confinement in a windowless room.
The band set about producing their finest work yet, and have certainly achieved their aim with debut album Transition.
No 9...Teenage Wildlife
Come On and Shoot is an intricately layered track replete with smouldering vocals and an infusion of electronica - it's tight, smooth, funky yet sultry.
No 10...Fiona Soe Paing
