#008 - Foxes

From Southampton Louisa Rose Allen (Foxes) is part of a 2 piece band, but like Marina and her "Diamonds" and Florence and her "Machine", the rest of the band sit back because the main focus is on the main artist, the singer who has composed the lyrics and the style he/she wants there music to be played in.
I came across Foxes on youtube, literally just one of those random finds that you know straight away is going to be a gem!
I have since listened to there EP "Warrior", which i can easily say is the best EP release i've heard this year, the title track "Warrior" and single "White Coats" are simply stunning!
Foxes is definitely a must listen if your a lover of artists such as Claire Maguire and Niki and the Dove.

Listen To: White Coats

#007 - Next Stop Atlanta

Hailing from Preston, UK, are Next Stop Atlanta, At the moment i would say they are near the top on my ipod/itunes most played list, they formed in early 2010 and have managed to firmly cement there place on the local and countrywide circuit!

It still shows that the UK can provide really good pop/punk bands at any age and that there not only from across the pond

They have 2 EP's out at the moment, the first is a self tilted EP, the songs to look out for on there are 'I'll Catch Fire (The Gift)' and 'Fourteennineeightyseven'.

The Second EP is called 'The Things You Do Best', songs to look out for are 'I'm Not Morrissey' and 'Get In The Van'.

They are sure for major success!

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/58593129/The+Civil+Wars+JOY++JOHN.png

If your a lover of Folk/Country or just generally meaningful straight from the heart songwriting, you will love The Civil Wars, 

To be honest you would of heard of them already. If you haven't heard of them, where have you been the last 6 months!

Made up of Joy Williams and John Paul White they've had a lot of success in the 3 years they have been writing music together, everything from sold out tours in the US and UK to winning Grammy's for 'Best Country Duo/Group Performance' & 'Best Folk Album'. They also have co-write and featured in the title track ('Safe and Sound' with Taylor Swift) for the recent film the Hunger Games!

There Debut album 'Barton Hollow' (Pronounced Barton Holler native to Jon Paul), is a masterpiece in it's self and is defiantly worth whatever price you pay for it!

From the album, give a listen to:

 'Poison & Wine', 'C'est La Mort & title track 'Barton Hollow'

#005 - Alex Clare

http://www.themahoganyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/alex-clare-1.jpg

I'm gonna be honest, How Alex Clare has not received mainstream attention is ridiculous!

To see that his album did not even make it into the top 40 is beyond me,

Believe it or not i only found out about him yesterday during an ad break for Facejacker, it was Microsoft's latest attempt to show the wonders of Internet Explorer! ( Yes I'm being sarcastic!)

His most achieving single to date 'Too close' was the backing to the advert, so i did what i do with every new artist i stumble across, check out the single in it's entirety, see if they have an album and then give it a listen! I was blown away from Track 1, the rest of the album follows as suit. I just love the cross stitching of the 2 completely different genre's Soul & Dubstep,

Check out Alex Clare's Album - 'The Lateness Of The Hour'.

On the album make sure to check out:

'Up All Night', 'Too Close' & his brilliant cover of Prince's 'When Doves Cry'.

Containing the Excitement is hard!!!!!

Got my We Are The In Crowd t-shirt today through the post to do from a brilliant online band merch seller called MerchNOW, it actually cost me less to by it from the USA and get it shipped than to by it through a online seller in the UK!

Much love for MerchNow!!

#004 - The Dirty Youth

http://joeyvoodoo.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/dirty1.jpg?w=627&h=418

Welsh Rockers The Dirty Youth are continuing the stream of amazing rock bands coming out of Wales, for example the likes of Lost Prophets and Bullet For My Valentine, anyway... Lead Singer Danni Munroe (who i've had the pleasure of meeting, a very nice person she is!). Is probably one of the best rock female front women on the circuit at the moment to appear since the likes of Amy Lee, Christina Scabbia and Sharon Den Adel when they started there careers with there respective bands.

Her positivity and fiest-i-ness oozes through the band and there debut album Red Light Fix is one of my top albums of 2011!

If you hear that they are in a town or city near you go and watch them because you will not be disappointed!

#003 - fun.

http://www.theblueindian.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/fun.-Main-Pub-2-photo-by-Lindsey-Byrnes.jpg

New York Indie Poppers fun. are a quirky band, this is not a bad thing at all, they have the same sort of quirkiness that originally drew me to Californian Power Pop band Hellogoodbye. 

To me fun. sound like a modern day Queen with very catchy melodic choruses and each verse is different from the next, which always keeps the listener on there toes to what direction the song is going to go in next!

They currently have one album out at the moment (Aim and Ignite) on Nettwork Records, they have since been picked up by Fueled By Ramen and the release of there second effort Some Nights is out next week.

To be honest they are a band that i wouldn't normally go for but i took a chance and I'm glad i did.     

fun. are defiantly a band that you will here a lot of this year and will use 2012 to there advantage!

#002 - We Are The In Crowd

 http://i836.photobucket.com/albums/zz281/ParaWhoreKP/l_05ace29d188f4b9ea7c1fa6518998604.jpg

Not only do they have the best hometown name ever, Poughkeepsie, New York!

They are one of many bands coming over from America at the moment who can't do a thing wrong! Supporting All Time Low on there UK Tour, which i was lucky to see WATIC live, they have won over a lot of fans in the UK, enough to earn them a Headline UK Tour in April 2012!

Last October they released there debut album 'Best Intentions', which has gone down well with critics as a solid debut album.

What i like most about this band is the call and response between the two lead singers Taylor Jardine and Jordan Eckes, it's almost like a conversation of opinions, likes, current situations and disagreements but put in the form of song!

Okay a lot people out there will just say 'oh look it's another band just trying be like Paramore!' This is defiantly not the case, they are defiantly a band to watch during 2012!

#001 - Sublime With Rome

 http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa335/smartmusicve/sublime-with-rome.jpg

I have heard of this band before but i have never really given them the time of day until this Morning when i was looking through the different bands on the FueledByRamen music label, so i gave Californian Ska/Reggae Rockers a listen, from the first song i listened to i was hooked! 

The song being 'Take It Or Leave It' from the bands debut album 'Yours Truly'.

To me they are a lovable Ska/Reggae sound mixed with a laid back Rock/Pop feel, that they have worked to there advantage by having there own fresh style and not following the typical sound of ska like most bands have over the years since Ska Greats The Specials, No Doubt and Less than Jake.
