  • Jacob Golden - On A Saturday

    Jacob Golden - On A Saturday

    It's hard to tell what there's more of: generic indie rock bands peddling rubbish about their jeans, or singer-songwriters peddling rubbish about their feelings.

  • Rogue Wave - Lake Michigan

    Rogue Wave - Lake Michigan

    The wide-eyed pop sensibilities of The Shins mixed with the delicacy of Loney, Dear, all with a dusting of Wurlitzer and hand claps.

  • Johnny Foreigner - Eyes Wide Terrified

    Johnny Foreigner - Eyes Wide Terrified

    Newsflash! Someone's shot Stephen Malkmus. It's not in the news, it's not even made Pitchfork yet, but we're confident it's true.

  • Pivot - In The Blood

    Pivot - In The Blood

    As fine an aural barrage of instrumental glitchy post-punk influenced noise you will hear all year.

  • Sons And Daughters - This Gift

    Sons And Daughters - This Gift

    If Glasgow City Council was looking for ambassadors to write them something of a theme song, Sons And Daughters could do the job better than a Belle & Sebastian / Franz Ferdinand supergroup.

  • Johnny Flynn - Tickle Me Pink

    Johnny Flynn - Tickle Me Pink

    Most people even vaguely familiar with Johnny Flynn will know that the demo for this track has been floating around for about an age.

  • The Accidental - I Can Hear Your Voice

    The Accidental - I Can Hear Your Voice

    A bit too repetitive to be wholly impressed by it, but its moderate swelling towards the end of the track leaves a lovely aftertaste.

  • Post War Years - Black Morning

    Post War Years - Black Morning

    It begs the question, apart from having an amazing name, what are Post War Years?

  • Born Ruffians - I Need A Life

    Born Ruffians - I Need A Life

    Sounding like the support band you instantly forget the moment the main act is on just about summarises Born Ruffians

  • Cazals - Somebody, Somewhere

    Cazals - Somebody, Somewhere

    It's a shame that frontman Phil plies his trade with these lot, his vocal performance the only highlight on show here.
