Stoke-On-Trent. Some windy progressive hardcore shit. Invigorating.
http://allthebesttapes.bandcamp.com/

them support Andrew Jackson Jihad. http://caves.bandcamp.com/

9Inevitable Daydream
Thank You! Idris?


Kent. Psychedelic shoegaze/indie pop. Know how to bring it heavy in a live set. Summer Song
is one of the best songs of the year. Honest. https://soundcloud.com/inevitabledaydreammusic
10Joanna Gruesome
Weird Sister


Cardiff. Viciously sweet and sweetly vicious indie pop, with all the guitars of Sonic Youth. One
of the best albums of last year. Currently touring with Perfect Pussy.
joannagruesome.bandcamp.com
11LUVV

Cardiff. Affirming, confused, angry post-punk. One of my favourite bands right now and they
only have four songs to their name. https://soundcloud.com/luvvluvvluvv
12Martha
Courting Strong


Durham. Brilliant, thoughtful indie pop. Making the personal political. One of the best albums
of the year. http://marthadiy.bandcamp.com
13ONSIND
Anaesthesiology


Durham. Two of the guys from Martha. Communist, vegan, feminist, DIY, acoustic pop punk.
Could change your life. onsind.bandcamp.com/
14Plaids
Plaids


Nottingham. Winding, intelligent, spacey post-hardcore that takes as much from Slowdive as it
does from Moss Icon. plaids.bandcamp.com/
15Playlounge
Pilot


Lewisham. Noisey two-piece indie band, simple yet fucking good at what they do. Supported
The World Is A Beautiful Place earlier this year. playlounge.bandcamp.com/
16Shopping
Consumer Complaints


London. Queer post-punk, three-piece. Very reminiscent of early Cure. Sparse yet sprightly.
https://soundcloud.com/shoppingband
17The Spook School
Dress Up


Edinburgh. Queer, energetic indie pop punk, one of the best albums of last year.
thespookschool.bandcamp.com/
18 Trust Fund
"don't let them begin"


Bristol. Haunting yet sweet acoustic indie. Sounds like he's breaking. trustfund.bandcamp.com/
19Crows-An-Wra
Kalopsia


Cornwall. One of the best albums of the year. Experimental horror punk/screamo, cavernous
and huge. crows-an-wra.bandcamp.com/
20Weak Nerves
Self Esteem EP


London. Scuzzy slacker grunge, just how it was in the late 80s. No cares in the world. Killed it
both times I've seen them. weaknerves.bandcamp.com
