Purity Ring too

[Muppetmark]

Dance wise they need more TEED, SBTRKT, Bloody Beetroots, Netsky, Hot Chip...

The lead singer of MMX DJ's at my local club/gig venue(tiny place called Fat Lils in Witney) Check them out:

[The Placid Casual]

On my 3rd listen of Arcane Roots' album. They are so, so good

Here's a link to my spotify playlist with all the artists on for ease of access to these bands:

I really like that twenty one pilot video on the official website. Ned to listen to much more of the bands though.

Prefered MMX when they were Francesqa. New stuff is so dull.

Two names that stick out for me are FIDLAR and Pure Love. FIDLAR sound like a cross between Black Flag and The Libertines, whilst Pure Love remind me of the Manics circa 1992.

Both have released the two best albums of 2013 for me so far, and they're both a lot closer to proper rock than some of the shite on this year's line-up.

She's from Manchester, has supported The Courteeners and has that whole 60s vibe going on. That's enough for her to be praised to high heaven by the "We Are The Mods!!!!11" crowd.

[Gucci Piggy]

I'm better than The Courteeners.

Don broco are insanely shit either on record or live. Can't fault their energy live but they still play don broco songs unfortunately.

[LondonTom]

Charlie XCX on the dance stage is pretty good. Been listening to her new album quite a bit

[VCK]

Hahaha she's better than Courteeners

[Yellow_Fellow]

Pure Love infuriates me because Frank Carter isn't in Gallows.

I reckon Don Broco could be announced. Dunno if anyone else is getting announced for main? if so i could see them being added.

I would defo recomment: ASIWYFA, Arcane Roots and Fidlar. All incredibly talented bands worth watching. Saw Gallows last year and they were sublime still so would recommend them. The Bronx are really good and I'm sure Quicksand will be n interesting watch this year.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Gallows are old news now. 2007 was their prime and it was never gonna go on forever.

[Gucci Piggy]

Handsome Devil's Club basically sounds like The Gaslight Anthem covering Send Away The Tigers by the Manics. Any band that produces a song like that gets two thumbs up from me.

[Asdaprice]

Could've easily. Their entire back catalog pre breakup will never be so much as whistled on by anything Pure Love make.

[Asdaprice]

I will never trust another piece of advice from these foums thanks to how appalingly atrocious these c**ts were last year. Had a big crowd though, surprised they haven't been announced for this year.I would hartily recommend Swim Deep, FIDLAR, Deap Vally and ASIWYFA from stuff that's kicking around in the tents.On the flipside I've finally realised who Imagine Dragons are after hearing their single played on XFM for the last six months. Jesus fucking wept, I thought they were supposed to be an indie rock band, what a load of absolute horse shit. c**ts.
