    "Inside Track" -VH1 lets you in on who we think is hot right now

    Keane -- Hailing from the teeny southern-Brit town of Battle, Keane has
mastered the art of soft-rocking, piano-driven, melodic pop as sweet and
infectious as it comes. If you don't believe us, just check the U.K. charts,
where the trio's album Hopes and Fears spent four weeks at #1. If you want to
hear more, check out live and exclusive Keane performances at Live@VH1.com.

    Jamie Cullum -- This British Invasion isn't quite what you think.
Although Jimmy Hendrix is his hero, he has chosen a baby grand piano to an
electric guitar to make his mark.  Already a superstar in his native UK, look
for Jamie to bring some pop infused jazz to the masses on his debut album
"Twentysomething," a cool mix of original songs and covers ranging from Cole
Porter to Hendrix to Radiohead to The Neptunes.

    Modest Mouse -- Who says time doesn't pay?  These indie rock heroes have
been slugging it out for years.  Their sophomore major label LP "Good news for
people who love bad news" is bringing along good music along with that good
news.  Their first single "float on" plays off their indie roots and grows
into a retro filled pop anthem.  The band adds Monty Python-esque visuals to
their video which shows off their true creative nature.
