Winner of this Eurovision- and finally with a proper, official video.
Free Download: Seasfire ‘Heartbeats’ (Herve’s Jacked Remix)
New Music: A Silent Film
Epic indie pop, along the lines of Morning Parade, from this Oxford quintet. Check out here.
Kitten are sounding good…
Favourite band of the week and featured here a while back. There’s so much going on with this sound, and it’s all balanced so well.
Little Dee ‘Auto Pilot’ at #SBTVShowcase
I was browsing through some Youtube clips last night and I stumbled across this by Little Dee and thought ‘wow’, so here you.
Work it…
Cheesy Swedish pop o’clock
This is so damn catchy, and I can tell as many of you will hate this as you will love it, but who cares. Le Kid are as pop as they come.
New Music: Lovelife
Nice new indie pop from Brooklyn. Check out here.
New Music: Tino Coury
Free Download: Man Like Me ‘Green Lanes’
London-based indie group and Alfitude faves, Man Like Me, have teamed up with Samsung to offer an exclusive track for free that won’t be on their upcoming album. ‘Green Lanes’ is one of three songs to feature on a short video that the band have made with Samsung. Braindead (only ever performed live previously) and London Town are the two other songs. Download the track here!
First Watch: Toddla T & Shola Ama ‘Alive’
A while back these two got together and made an amazing track. They’ve joined forces again and, once again, they’ve created another stormer of a tune.
New Music: Diamond Rings
So what are we thinking about this new Muse Olympics song?
It’s been getting very mixed reviews since it’s launch last week. Muse have recorded the official song for the Olympics in London. It doesn’t seem to fit in with the whole neon colour, wacky shapes theme the organisers are going for, but for what it’s worth, it is a good Muse track. I mean, the opening ceremony is set to look like a farm- and then you have this piece of music to be played before each medal ceremony. I don’t know. Weird.
First Listen: Kymberley Kennedy ‘The Kym Possible Mixtape’
Kymberley Kennedy’s back with a new mixtape. It’s good.
The Other Tribe x Kidnap Kid – ‘We Don’t Need No Melody’
Check out the new video for ‘Don’t Need No Melody’ from Bristol’s The Other Tribe and Kidnap Kid’s collaborative project. Their EP (also called Don’t Need No Melody) comes out July 2 on label-of-the-moment Black Butter, as a co-release with Relentless Records.

First Listen: Little Mix ‘Wings’
This is the first proper single from Little Mix the most recent series X-Factor UK. I should not like it but I think it’s amazing!
Your love ain’t fair
New Music: Ask Embla
I’m not sure why I like this, but I do. There’s a sadness to it but it’s still a bit fun. Check out here.
