[Indie - Pop] Youngblood Hawke - We Come Running

For today I leave the best for last, as you do. Let me introduce to you the Youngblood Hawkes, a band hailing from L.A. How can I describe this song? Well it is reminiscent of a big group sound, similar to Grouplove. 'We Come Running' is an anthemic song, something that you could fill a stadium with before a game, there's just something fun about it. Their self-titled EP comes out tomorrow so if you like what you hear check it out!

[Indie - Rock] The 1975 - The City

I have mixed feelings about this song. On one hand i realise the potential that this band has with this song, on the other, I actually hate his voice because it sounds ridiculously english, I can't blame them though they are from Manchester after all. Sooo yeah make what you want of it but I'm still undecided, I am certain however that these guys will be quite popular because this is a 'stop what you're doing and listen' kind of song.

[Alternative] XOV - Stones

I had a real hard time trying to describe this song. When I first heard it I thought to myself; 'Why does he sound so sarcastic?'. Well the sarcasm grew on me and now it is one hell of an addictive song. There's just something really interesting about his voice and the emotion he shows when he sings is definitely apparent. It's no doubt a very moving song and I look forward to hearing from this artist (it's just one guy).

[Synth - Pop] Kisses - Funny Heartbeat

You may or may not have heard Kisses before but let me assure you that the L.A duo are back it again with their new single. 'Funny Heartbeat' is a glistening sun dazed lightweight dance tune co-produced with Saint Etienne's Pete Wiggs. If you haven't already check out their songs, especially 'Bermuda', that one is a real mood booster. I expect their album to be out soon, I mean why would they tempt us with such a buttery tune without releasing one?

[Indie - Rock] Wildlife Control - Brooklyn

Wildlife Control are  a duo from Brooklyn New York, who would've thought? They have just released their self titled debut album and the song 'Brooklyn' is one of the standouts. Drawing inspiration from classic rock and modern 'indietronica' as I like to call it. For a debut album, not bad at all guys, I especially enjoyed the bridge in 'Brooklyn' with the piano and drums.

[Indie - Rock] Wilhelm Tell Me - Favorite Sound

German indie - rock! Apparently these guys are pretty big in Germany and it always amazes me how well european bands sing in english with no hint of their accent, especially Sweden. Anyways more about this song, it's an absolute gem. The chorus hints of Foster the People and Helena Beat, really enjoying their sound and especially can't help to sing along with the chorus. Let's hope we can get these guys popular in Australia!
