Time to complete the round-up of this year’s Camden Crawl festival highlight reel, handpicked by DoesItRock.net
Part Two: Camden Crawl 2011 – Highlights
Graham Coxon
He played guitar for a little known band called Blur, no big deal hey. His solo material has ranged from all out guitar classics, to accomplished folk. Whichever Graham turns up, this is sure to be one of the events of the weekend!
Listen to: Graham Coxon – Standing On My Own Again
Johnny Foreigner
Chaotic pop music for art students with punk hearts. Beautiful clash of clattering guitars and sweet harmonies trademark the electrifying alt rock sound of the midlands finest young band.

Simian Mobile Disco

Gallops
Weird and experimental electro beats line the Gallops instrumental track listings. Yet somehow their tunes are superb slices of soaring key tinkling and band backed melodies. A left field shout, who may just kick-ass live!
