R+L New Band Listener Thread - 2014 Edition

Won't be to everyone tastes on here but you never know.

It is the side project of Dan from The Wonder Years, so it is basically The Wonder Years if they're acoustic.

Would be great to see them low on the FR stage

This band is opening the dance stage on friday.

And this song is a banger.

I reckon anyway

Happyness' album is streaming here, I think it's really great

Saw Indiana this weekend along with Clean Bandit (boring), Sam Smith (crap) and London Grammar (pretty awesome).

I think it helped she had a rather large local crowd behind her but she was very good and is worth checking out early on the dance stage. Solo Dancing is great.

Fucking london grammar

[giantwagon]

London Grammar are shit

[Babyquack]

London Grammar are shit

Gweb is shit.

I don't think he's playing R+L but he's playing a few UK festivals, definitely Glasto but he calls himself Reignwolf and he's pretty good. Very Led Zep-esque.

Not doing any festivals but they're a decent local band in my area and worth checking in my opinion

Is their other stuff more dancey? Just feels more like a FR style band who will be out of place like many in the past.

Not really, it's more of the same from what I've heard

Check out Sivu who is playing Festival Republic stage on Sunday. Has an album on the way, but plenty of tracks released. He sounds like a slightly depressing Bombay Bicycle Club.

If people haven't checked out Lucius yet I urge them to; very good, nuanced pop music with really lush, doo-woppy, occasionally Phil-Spectre-like vocal harmonies:

Thought'd I'd mention that Emily's Army (Who are playing at R&L this year) have released a new EP called Swim today. Check it out...
