Wolf Gang

Wolf Gang is a British alternative and symphonic rock band who have previously toured with Florence and The Machine and supported The Killers at Hyde Park, they will also be supporting Coldplay for 12 dates of their US tour; this gives an idea of how incredible Wolf Gang really are. They have cemented their status as one to most definitely watch. Their sound is relatively similar to that of Viva Brother, Givers and MGMT. Their album Suego Faults is filled to the brim with fantastic captivating songs, that you wont be able to stop listening to. I personally think the best songs are; Lions In Cages and The King And All Of His Men.

Karima Francis

Karima Francis is a fantastic Blackpool-born singer songwriter. She has been around for a while and even graced the stage of the one and only Jools Holland. Her voice is unique, distinguishable from any other, she has this real special quality about her that no one else will ever begin to accomplish. Her album The Author is absolutely incredible, the astonishing voice has an innocent and vulnerable sound that captivates you as a listener and causes each song to be heart wrenching. I would definitely describe her as being the next big thing and would question why you aren't already tuned in listening to her. I recommend listening to Wherever I go...

BOY

This unique duo from Hamburg are perhaps the most underrated duo on the music scene at the moment. Their upbeat, unique and toe tapping music will instantly put a smile on your face. Their first album 'Mutual Friends' was released in 2011 and is absolutely flawless; I can't think of anything else I would rather listen to on a warm summers day. Every single song on this album is guaranteed to put you in a fantastic mood, you are crazy not to be listening to BOY already. Listen to their album 'Mutual Friends' right away, I recommend listening to 'Little Numbers'...

Local Natives


Local Natives are an indie rock band from the sunny Los Angeles, their captivating sound has been described as modern worldly folk. Their music has similarities to Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver among others. After being named one of the best new bands by Q magazine it is difficult to say why everyone isn't listening to Local Natives. Their music is very vocally and rhythmically driven and definitely deserves a place on your iPod. I would recommend listening to their single from 2010 Who Knows Who Cares, this is a fantastic song which should no doubt be your summer anthem.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHv_IgOk7Ic
