New post-punk band who are getting a little bit of hype; could see them popping up on FR:

Is there a video of the FWF acceptance speech last night? That was fucking hilarious. Shame the live Twitter feed seemed full of humourless people.

Forgot to put this on the other day also:

Catfish & The Bottlemen tourdates:

Absence of Manchester, Bristol and Nottingham and gap between 22nd and 25th means they're pretty likely for Dot To Dot Festival, which also has quite a good lineup

EDIT: On looking, the absence of Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, Nottingham, and Liverpool could be because they played there on the recent tour...

Are The Midnight Bloody Beast subbing that?

Unfortunately yeah is only the first wave so expect it'll improve further

[the wonderwhy]

Dot to Dot lineup is pretty decent. Can't wait to see Sean McGowan

Courtney Barnett is right good. Don't know if anyone has listened to her before but she'd be brilliant in the FR

Just discovered Bad Suns. Think they're getting big in the US but haven't heard much about them over here (unless I've just missed them)

Yeah I've mentioned her a couple of times, History Eraser is my favourite track of hers

I'm losing track of who we've talked about now

[giantwagon]

Just had a listen to the debut album 'Blame Confusion' by Solids. Really great stuff.

[dentalplan]

Courtney Barnett is pretty cool, she'll probably get given a low NME slot as she's been heavily featured in their magazine last year.

Not keen on Bad Suns but Solids are really good, not sure if I've listened to them before or not but they sound great.

Found it.

[justanothername]

Saw Traams as they supported Drenge tonight and they were really good! For at the few seconds I thought they were rubbish, but BOOM! They were brilliant and just really fun.

[kemosabe]

the sherlocks have a new single out which i think some people on here might like

Meh, saw them supporting Royal Blood. Generic and clearly aren't afraid to wear their influences on their sleeves, but at least they're ripping off decent bands. Slightly more intersting than Royal Blood because of it though.

I do appreciate they're ripping off other bands ideas but they do make them their own somewhat I think.

Hopefully in time they can craft their own sound out of such wonderful ingrediants, but to me it sounded like they had a their White Stripes song, and their Weezer song, and their Nirvana song, and their Cribs song, and their Pumpkins song, and so on. But they're a new band so it's hash to expect much more.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Funnily enough, I was chatting to their drummer after their support show, and he couldn't work out which track I was talking about - until I called it "the one that sounded like Quick and to the Pointless"

They are literally Artic Muse

[rawaudioinput]

Turns out that band Slaves have just been signed to EMI; I'd say there's a higher chance of expecting them back now

[Com Truise]

Don't think anyone has mentioned Prides yet, pretty cool. The vocalist reminds me of someone but I can't pin down who.
