Two Wounded Birds

All We Wanna Do

Had The Libertines dabbled in surf it would probably have sounded like this. Fantastic new track from Margate's answer to The Vaccines.

Fleet Foxes

Battery Kinzie

Familiar territory for Fleet Foxes, but they do the whole upbeat acoustic thing incredibly well. Set to appear on the 'Helplessness Blues' album.

Cults

You Know What I Mean

Beautifully, fragile indie-pop that burns with the spirit of the 1950s. Soft verses give way to a burst of frenzied guitar in the chorus.

All The Young

The First Time

Anthemic guitars, support slots with Brother and a major label record deal. Not a bad start for this Stoke four-piece. File next to The Twang.

Sebastian

Embody

Great comeback single from the Ed Banger records man. Chunky beats, 90s piano riffs and an intensely funky bass.

Town

Eighteen

Another MOR indie band intent on spending its way to a fan-base. Still worth a listen - if only to hear what hype-makers deem 'exciting' today.

Pinetop Perkins

Pinetop Boogie Woogie

Born in 1913, Pinetop Perkins took his brand of piano-based blues and R&B on the road with everyone from Robert Johnson to Muddy Waters. His death earlier this week leaves David 'Honeyboy' Edwards as the sole surviving original Delta Blues musician.

Jamie Woon

Lady Luck

Dubstep? Post-dubstep? Let's face it, this is just fantastically slow-burning modern soul.
