Laura Hulley Kasabian – ‘Fire’: The Coventry band are the current, post-Oasis kings of ‘lad-rock’; but Kasabian’s latest offering from their third album is actually not too bad at all. They’ve cast off any further attempt at poor Screamadelica imitations, and gone for a Rolling Stones-esque, folksy, loud-soft, psychedelic-laced track. The lyrics leave a lot to be desired, but I’m surprised to say I quite like it.
Isaac Hewlings Don Diablo & Example – ‘Hooligans (Noisia Remix)’: The original mix is staunchly at the peak of the dance charts at the moment, and is gathering momentum, with Zane Lowe and Trevor Nelson giving it airtime. The Dutch pair Noisia have turned their hand to everything from breakcore to house, and their ample technical skill is on display here. This is an unrelenting buzz-saw of a track, which is smarter than it initially sounds.
Tom Killingbeck Children – ‘The Power Spirit’: Indie thrash metal on speed? It’ll never work. Well, that’s what they said before NYC’s Children set guitars to stun then boosted through several ADHD riffs, screaming about making love and Black Sabbath, with everything turned up to 11. The video features the band running through the woods playing solo after solo in romper suits.
Estella Adeyeri Alessi’s Ark – ‘Over The Hill’: Folk-pop songstress Alessi provides the perfect soundtrack to your summer: all airy vocals and light acoustic guitar melodies, ‘Over the Hill’ should be accompanied by a lazy afternoon spent making daisy chains . This promising young artist is sure to appeal to fans of Laura Marling.
