Of late I’ve not been on the button with music, I became lazy and uninterested in discovering new bands for about five months, but today, while all [two of] my friends have been to Leeds (I hope it rained all weekend) I decided to trawl through various websites [Drowned in Sound, Pitchfork and Hip-Hops blogs I can’t recall] and have found some new and exciting [for me] sounds.
Here is a list of the great, they’re all available on Spotify, which I suspect if it catches on with every music listener will be shut down by the music industry.
Bearsuit
Children of the Bong
Coachwhips
Double Dagger
E.S.G.
FaltyDL
Kap Bambino
Lovvers
Major Lazer
Pterodactyl
South Rakkas Crew
The Death Set
The Mummers
You Love Her Cos She’s Dead
Women
Wild Beasts
The XX (not as good as the hype says, but alright)
Toddla T
These Are Powers
XX Teens
The Hunches
Scout Niblett
My five favourite out of that list are:
1) Major Lazer
2) South Rakkas Crew
3) Double Dagger
4) Kap Bambino
5) Coachwhips
If you do download or Spotify any of those bands I hope you enjoy, unlike them fucking adverts on spotify – the hypocrisy of the government sharing anti-alcohol propaganda with Fosters adverts, eh?
