What new bands have you discovered/enjoyed since line-up announcement or TBC?

[LondonTom]

I've started getting into St. Vincent..I really loved Digital Witness on Jools Holland

Currently working my way through her albums, the self title didn't live up to what I thought of Digital Witness but decent. Now on the David Byrne album which I am quite enjoying it!

Think I will have to go see her!

[Tuna]

You've still got her (IMO) 2 best albums to go yet too you lucky thing.

[Yesiamaduck]

[Brave Sir Robin]

Sultan of the Disco!!

[MrMac]

Like both but going on recent comments here and elsewhere Courtney Barnett is good live (I've seen her), De La Soul aren't.

Courtney is however playing JP as well as the Park, going by a message by Jim Fox on FB.

[Tony Briggs]

Vintage Trouble, cant wait to see them

[ghandi]

So St vincent are on in the Park, i've a feeling its going to be a tad busy !

[Gnomicide]

Still only tbc but absolutely loving Danny and the Champions of the World. If you haven't heard them and you like a bit of Americans, I'd recommend them.

[RichieSpenno]

St Vincent on Jools Holland

[monkey1989]

as strange as it seems i never really gave Pixies a good listen until now , very much looking forward to it

[Fake Encore]

I like this thread, so much so I have joined this forum.

If everyone who says they like Jagwar Ma goes to Jagwar Ma, they are going to need to need a bigger field. Watched them last week at Leeds, top stuff.

In no order.......

Vintage Trouble ...........Bon Jovi meets the Jim Jones Review with surprising results

Skrillex.............Someone takes some good sounding tunes and then takes crack and is let loose on the effects button on a Yamaha keyboard

Jagwar Ma.....Australian nu-nu indie rave type thing, see above

Mik Artistiks Ego Trip.........To describe anything as comedy music instantly makes it sound like you would rather pull your eyeballs out than watch it. However, this was one of the best things we watched and they are back this year.

Public Service Broadcasting........A BBC Radio 4 man from the 1950's speaks over semi dance music and once the novelty has worn off, it settles down into a knowing nod of the head to ......that is actually quite good

Chromeo.........either brilliant or terrible, i have listened quite a lot and can not put my flag in either camp

Kodaline...........it comes on, you don't want to like it, it sounds like the entire dawsons creek/one tree hill soundtrack and annoyingly, when you have your music on shuffle and you hear a song you like and look to see who it is ........fucking kodaline.

Jack White........expecting not to like, liked, think the White Stripes just passed me by and that was now my fault

Drenge...........horrible name, great sounds, punchy, angry, lyrics bordering on terrible, tunes pretty big, tent, afternoon, done

Crystal Fighters...........effortless as 74% of all Crystal Fighters sounds are on TV adverts. Quality Live.

So.........two things.

Soul/Funk in the Craig Charles Soul/Funk Band style

and

Saturday Night ............what to do?

[Gnomicide]

Welcome Fake Encore. Saturday night? 'tallica!

Anyway, tonight I am mostly enjoying The Brian Jonestown Masacre. Retro.

[giantkatestacks]

I am quite enjoying my new bands playlist, I just find it hard to hear past their influences a lot of the time. I have got Warpaint on atm and its making me pine for the Sundays among others.

[Anderson19]

Bipolar sunshine, cant wait to see these again early doors on the park aswell perfect summer music, seen them a few times in the last year highly recommened.

New track debuted on zane lowe tonight & sounded brilliant.

Link to soundcloud - https://soundcloud.com/bipolarsunshine

Id recommend them massively

[Vanderlyle]

Along with loads of people... Jagwa Ma.

Also enjoying War on Drugs

[ICGenie]

Rather enjoyed Horrors on Jools the other night.

[manateemike]

Parov Stelar right up your street but then maybe you know that already. Better with band as brings brass with him.

[manateemike]

My suggestion is Melbourne Ska Orchestra.

Fell in love with their CD on a inflight entertainment system to Australia at Christmas, 24hrs on this bloody plane, saved my sanity.

I was at boomtown too! That's the first place I heard this genre of music really & I loved it!

I was at Boomtown last year, and so many people were asking me what time this 'band' was on so i hung around to watch. Not my style of music but was blown away with how nice it all sounded together. They were very good, nice end to the day.

Since the announcement and subsequent lineup browsing...

JUNGLE - can't wait to see these guys on John Peel - dancy/funky types with added groove

check out Busy Earnin' - http://youtu.be/BcsfftwLUf0

YOUNG FATHERS - hip hop driven with a cracking voice to boot. Song below is catchier than chicken pox

I Heard - http://youtu.be/fcRKZkk79-w

JAKE ISAAC - folky vibes with a bit of angst, can imagine it'll be class live (especially song below)

Long Road - http://youtu.be/HllUW8G7VFI

[ghandi]

St Vincent - great find that's right up my street, i love avant guard creative female singers.

Vintage trouble - loving the Commitments sound and vibe

The war on drugs - great sound, better live than on record i think.

[AdamWillingham]

Been loving Young Fathers!
