Peace, Swim Deep, Jaws, Splashh and Palma Violets. I won’t be the first person to tell you about these guys if you read NME but if you haven’t heard, you should go have a listen.
Palma Violets have been the most hyped as of late and from London these guys, co-frontman Chilli in particular, are full of character and wonderful stories. Ok, so I’ve never actually meet them but this much has become clear from their live performances and scarce interview material. Single ‘Best of Friends’ is even better live, due to the extra depth only a live show can offer. It leaves you with itchy feet, making you want to throw yourself around and pelt it out at the top of your voice. These guys are good true exciting young fun. If you can, catch them live, their set closer is a corker.
Peace, as opposed to the basement of 180 guitars have got a psych vibe that rattles and funks along in a wavy armed mini disco room with lights and tie-dye t-shirts kind of way. Their matinée show at The Lexington in London on the 30th October still hasn’t sold out and their EP Delicious is well worth a bite.
Swim Deep are a fully reclined-sofa full of laid back tunes and catchy chill choruses which are sometimes almost hazy. It’ll remind you of cycling to the coolest beach party thrown all year (If you ever actually went to one of those, do they even exist?).
Most of these bands are available to watch on tour at the minute or if not then in the coming months. Tickets for Swim Deep’s early 2013 tour having gone on sale earlier this morning.
A non-signed artist I’m really liking at the moment is Only Real, with Cadillac Girl in particular. At times there’s a tingle of Jamie T going on with the vocals and comparisons have been made with King Krule. Check him out.
