Seems to be a week of good indie pop bands. This is an epic British sound which I’ve fallen in love with. Check out here.

New Music: Melo
New Music: Whiskey Shivers
This video’s gone viral real fast, and you’ll understand why when you watch it right to the very end. The song’s pretty catchy too. Young guys making bluegrass and country. Check out here.
New Music: Ulrik Munther
Swedish 17 year old kid who’s made a buzz for himself for winning a talent show in Sweden and also doing a pretty decent cover of Gaga’s Born This Way. Album’s due out later this month in Scandinavia. The track above isn’t a lead single but I love it. Beats Justin Bieber to a pulp. Check out here.
New Music: Flowers and Sea Creatures
A deep, atmospheric, cinematic sound with soaring impressionistic vocals and crystalline acoustic guitars riding over fuzzy autumnal chords. The crisp future-disco beats and studio sparkle comes courtesy of a trio of top-drawer co-producers – Ewan Pearson, ex-Montrealer Fred Everything and The Revenge. All three have helped shape their debut album, ‘Flowers and Sea Creatures’.
Flowers and Sea Creatures make their debut live London appearance as a duo at The Nest, Dalston, London on Fri Sep 9 as part of a Buzzin’ Fly party that also features Watergate’s Lee Jones, Mano Le Tough and Chris Woodward. Full band dates are expected later in the year. Check out here.
New Music: Films of Colour
New Music: Tropics
A lot of bands seem to have something tropical in their names right now so you might think you’ve already heard this before. But you probably haven’t. This is a different Tropics. And a good one too. Atmospheric pop that uses a whole load of sounds to make something beautiful and a bit magical. Check out here.
New Music: Hi Fashion
Erm… wow. I don’t really know what to say about Hi Fashion- I think you need to watch the clip. After a few seconds of thinking WTF I realised that this is genius. I love it. I have a feeling they’re going to garner a bit of a gay following and possibly take over the world with fierceness. Check out here. Follow Alfitude on Twitter and Facebook to be kept up to date!
New Music: Chrome
Best known for his vocal contributions to two UK number 1 records with Dizzee Rascal (Holiday and Dance Wiv Me). Check out here.
New Music: Newkid
You don’t need to understand Swedish to like this: this kid has something very special in him. Since June this year the clip you’re watching’s been viewed nearly 400,00 times. Check out here.
New Music: Hanni El Khatib
I love everything about this guy. Dirty, nasty gritty rock sound with a bit of doo wap thrown in. Makes you want to throw something like a vase across a room. Check out here.
New Music: Galaxie
I really have no idea about this band. They seem to be Canadian and sing in French, and have been nominated for the country’s Polaris Prize which is a big deal. It sounds like dirty 70’s glam rock. Check out here.
New Music, Flight Facilities
Summery disco pop. Sort of reminds me of some of Kylie’s stuff around the ‘Spinning Around’ years. Check out here.
New Music: L-Vis 1990
Loving this track- very catchy. ‘L-Vis 1990 (real name James Connolly) is a London-based DJ and producer and, along with Bok Bok, is a co-founder and head of the Night Slugs imprint, which arose from their monthly club night at London’s East Village club.’ Check out here.
New Music: Shake Aletti
I love this. It makes you smile and want to shake a bit. Fresh, summery, sexy disco. Check out here.
New Music: Nervo
‘NERVO are Mim and Liv Nervo. Twin sisters; soulmates and soon to be superstars. They emerged as hit songwriters; Kesha to Kylie; Guetta & Rowland; Pussycat Dolls and more. They’ve remixed Katy Perry, 30 Seconds to Mars, Cobra Starship, topping club charts worldwide.’ Check out here.
New Music: Germany Germany
New Music: Clay Hughes
This is very American, acoustic rock that's pretty easy to listen to. Beyond that I really don't know much about this project. Check out here.
New Music: The Kixx
Electropop boyband who are singing a song originally written by the amazing Erik Hassle, who happens to be one of my absolute favourite artists.
I don’t know how I feel about them taking this song for themselves to be honest. It doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as the original but anything to raise Erik’s profile is good with me. Check out here.
