FINALLY. Let’s get straight to it…

1-2-WTCH-IN-2011: Polock - Fireworks

Here is a really nice track that makes me long for a summer to rise from the depths of this long bleak winter. I think this track came out last year but it’s probably new to you and thus, you know, in the same patronising way all magazines and blogs try and tell bands that have existed for years that they are finally going to be THE NEXT BIG THING, I guess I’m doing the same.

The Streets - Computers and Blues

Here is Mike’s new album for you to try before you steal, though after one listen it sounds like it actually deserves paying for. Make up your own minds below:

Roof Of Your Car is brilliant, right?

1-2-WTCH-IN-2011: BASTILLE - Flaws

I can’t find much about BASTILLE but I really like this song a lot, as far as I can tell it’s a one person project that is currently readying a live band for some gigging. More info when we get it.

A nice pop song with harmonies and some good production, what more could you want? (Answer: nothing).

1-2-WTCH-IN-2011: Cat’s Eyes - I Knew It Was Over

I’m not a big fan of The Horrors but this new project from Faris has caught my attention, and this composition is really quite pretty. From the press release it seemed like the other (slightly more feminine) half of the duo would be doing the singing within the band, but on this track at least Faris takes the lead. 

Check out the oragan foot pedal arpeggios at the end, sick!

1-2-WTCH-IN-2011: Fiction - Big Things

Here’s another one for 2011, Fiction with Big Things. I apologise to all these bands we’re now hyping that have existed and been writing songs for many years, but it’s easy for us lazy folks (read: me) to suggest you deserve to be listened to this year rather than pretend we’ve been following you since day one. Breton, GROUPLOVE and Fiction I like your music though and that’s all that matters. Here’s a vid…

1-2-WTCH-IN-2011: Grouplove - Colours

Right about now everyone’s trying to tell you who to listen to in 2011, and following on from Breton I give you Grouplove. I love pop songs with harmonies and boy girl vocals, and just in time for the hot summer (wait) is début EP GROUPLOVE by Grouplove. The first ‘single’ / song with a video made for it is Colours, check it out below.
