[Indie - Rock] Train Robbers - Suns

God I love coming across bands like these, especially when they're Australian. Train Robbers are the pride of Sydney at the moment and "Suns" is good enough to show the rest of Australia why. The four piece band are kind of like a mash up between The Strokes and Last Dinosaurs, sounds pretty good right? "Suns" is their third single, and if it's any indication of their quality, they're going to be hanging around the music scene for a while.

[Indie - Pop] fun. - Sight Of The Sun

"Sight Of The Sun" was originally meant to feature on fun.'s original album Some Nights but due to some copyright infringements with the chorus's sample they had to re-record it and has now been released as part of the soundtrack of HBO's Girls. It's typical fun. and I really should've even class these guys as indie anymore - they're pretty big now right? Anyways I'm sure most of you would be interested to hear it so go ahead.

[Indie - Pop] Hunter Hunted - Keep Together

Former Lady Danville members Dan Chang and Michael Garner are back with their newest project Hunter Hunted. "Keep Together" is very Lady Danville like, soaring vocal harmonies over a synthy, blissed out backdrop. It's quite like the material we would expect from Passion Pit or the Naked and Famous - loveable electro/synth pop. Much to expect from these guys in 2013 and here's hoping they can fill the shoes of Lady Danville.

[Indie - Pop] American Authors - Believer

Fresh new four piece indie pop band for you all from Brooklyn, NY. American Authors manage to create these amazing poppy hooks from absolutely nothing. I haven't heard a single thing about these guys yet they possess all the charisma, charm and energy to keep them in the game for the long run. "Believer" is one hell of a track and will have you dancing right from the get go with a heart stomping beat and similarities to Fleetwood Mac's "Everywhere".

[Indie - Pop] Swim Deep - The Sea

The Birmingham four piece are back with their brand new single "The Sea" which sees the indie poppers on the path to stardom. Continuing that feel-good vibe and incorporating elements of rock and surf, this single is sure to put you in the right mood for one of those cold wintery nights next to the fireplace. It's kind of funny that their appearance lends people to believe that they're a bit grunge-y but in reality they make some really catchy pop melodies.

[Electro - Pop] Passion Pit - Carried Away (Viceroy Remix)

Not a lot of new music coming out this time of year but having featured this song in my top 10, I did manage to find this Viceroy remix of Passion Pit's "Carried Away" which came out a few weeks ago. Didn't think it was possible to make this song effervescently happier but Viceroy, with his trademark tropical synths and beats has found the answer to the dilemma. Perfect song to play as we hit up the new year.
