[Honky Tonx]

Ghost. They have been around for a few years now. Saw them at Wacken this year. Worth checking out if you have not already done so.

These biodegradable ones, I’m gonna pitch them to the post office too!

Idles.

Completely missed their debut, 'Brutalism', last year but heard 'Joy as an Act of Resistance' in a pub the other night and haven't stopped listening to it since.

Not a band but a singer.. Susan Cadogan, reggae singer from the 70's. One of her albums was amongst a whole bunch of Ska and Reggae vinyl I bought recently. Absolutely brilliant and have bought more of her albums since.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Freya Ridings, fabulous voice.

 

[DFL JCL]

Alvvays... not new, but new to me.

 

[The Clamp]

Car Seat Headrest. Brilliant band.

You're late to them.

You're late to them.

I know. Very late. But they are my best discovery this year.

Ooh, good call. 'Danny Nedelko' is a great song.

My own choice would be the Lovely Eggs. Hadn't hear of them until this year. And yes, very VERY late I know, but I never saw any of their stuff when I was browsing through the 78s in my local record shop. (With a nod to the 'When did modern life defeat you?' thread).

They're good, and I'm looking forward to seeing them at C2 next month. They were on at End of the Road over the weekend, as were Shame, who I don't like as much, but I suspect will be really big. Really young, a singer with quite a presence, and an energetic bass player.

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

DMA's for me

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever.

Mine is definitely BC Camplight.

I'm afraid they are a bit Marmite. Saw them at Sonisphere years ago. They came with quite a reputation even then. Thought they were terrible, but gave them the benefit of being on in the afternoon and in daylight. Saw them headline Bloodstock last year. Still didn't like them, however other people were raving about them . Got a decent sized crowd, so I think it's safe to say I am in a minority.

The Allergies

Hadn’t heard of them six weeks ago obviously been around for a while though
