Half a dozen new artists, tipped for greatness in the new year.......
Zulu Winter
Just released Lets Move Back to Front on Double Denim, with promise of an atmospheric album incorporating elements of Foals, Wild Beasts and The XX in the next first half of the year.
The History of Apple Pie
Causing a stir not just in London, but around the UK and Europe where touring has taken their scuzzy 'melody-over-noise' pop tunes. Initial singles and B-Sides show much promise.
Howler
Rather than play 'name the influences' sit back and enjoy a young, enthusiastic, guitar band that I think the industry is ready for in the new year. Debut America Give Up is out on 16th January.
Tribes
Another new band with a promising debut, Baby, released on 16/01/12. Tribes have that 90s-slacker-vibe but with some less-depressing passages and the odd (Heaven-forbid!) guitar solo.
Lucy Rose
Lucy is stepping out of the shadows, being backing vocalist for Bombay Bicycle Club and judging by the quality of her first three singles, there is little reason to be Red Faced about it (GROAN)!
Thanks
Nick
