Wolf Alice Bros
This indie 4 piece from London brought us Fluffy first and now this slice of fabulous moody guitar slickery. In case you were worried this meant XX style seriousness, fret not. The mercy T’s for this release feature the Chuckle Brothers.

Kisses The Hardest Part
This is the first single from Kids in La, this LA duo’s second album and it’s a real 80′s electro pop with a touch of Bangalter about it. I’ve heard the album, it’s a fine slice of danceable intelligent pop.

Catfish & the Bottlemen Homesick
This 4 piece have got a few ‘types’ in a lather, and whilst I wasn’t feeling their first (now really old and I thnk deleted) effort, this has them hitting their stride in fine form. Check their Homesick t shirts – featuring what can only be presumed is a homesick sperm.

Denai Moore Fatigue
Ooh, this is really great. It seems to start out one thing then becomes another, which is always hard to do, end especially impressive given that the lady is only 19. From the Saudade ep out now.
