 Artist: The Front Bottoms Release: Talon of the Hawk Label: Bar None Records Release Date: June 2013 Picked by: James Farrelly – Trade Marketing Manager There must be something in the New Jersey water that contributes to its history of great punk bands (Saves The Day, Gaslight Anthem, Bouncing Souls) – and The Front Bottoms show there's no sign of that slowing. After supporting The Menzingers at an incredibly hot and sweaty sold out show at London's Borderline, the band are now selling out their own shows with ease, and the latest UK shows showcased their latest album in perfect fashion. Talon of the Hawk is an incredible love letter to being young and the punk scene in general, and is best heard in a room full of friends singing along to every word. – James Farrelly     |

 Artist: Ásgeir Release: Torrent Label: One Little Indian Records Genre: Alternative Iceland’s biggest music export since Bjork releases stunning second single from breathtaking debut album – translated by John Grant. Asgeir, named one of ten winners of the European Border Breakers Award, releases ‘In The Silence’ next year which promises to be one of 2014′s best debuts. At just 21 years of age the Icelandic singer-songwriter has become a sensation in his domestic music scene – staggeringly, almost 10% of the Icelandic population now own his debut album ‘Dyrd í dauðathogn’, which was released only in his home land and Scandinavia.    Artist: Futurecop! Release: Hopes, Dreams & Alienation Label: Kiez Beats Genre: Dance – House – French Manchester based electronic band Futurecop! have decided to take a big challenge on this new album ‘Hopes, Dreams & Alienation’. They remain true to their foundations, which is very 80s influenced, with their uplifting vintage synth power chord melodies and sounds from their childhood memories of retro video games, movies and cartoons. Futurecop! have been pioneers of the 80s revival, even being lauded as the creators of the indie genre dreamwave. They have gained huge support from MTV Iggy, Vevo, Vice, Diplo, Annie Mac and dance megastar Tiesto.  Artist: Six Blade Release: Forget Who You Knew EP Label: Viper Recordings Genre: Dance – Breakbeat / Drum & Bass – Jungle The exciting new project from D&B duo Six Blade, formerly Mattix & Futile, have returned bigger and badder than ever with the debut EP on Viper. The Brighton-based duo has already made a splash this year with ‘Flash Forward’ on Viper’s ‘Summer Slammers’ compilation, along with a huge remix of Futurebound & InsideInfo’s ‘Mermaids’ on Viper’s landmark 50th release, and a big remix for Major Look’s hit track ‘No Hope City’. Having gained heavy support over the last few years, the duo have launched a brand new alias, signing exclusively with Futurebound's Viper Recordings.    Artist: Evan Arch Release: Embers Label: Tip Top Recordings Genre: Dance – Beats & Breaks / Electronica Addictive debut single from teenage US producer wunderkind Evan Arch. Just 17 Arch has produced an uplifting synth track that recalls College’s ‘Real Hero’ period. 'Embers' is the debut single from Arch under his own name. The track is an optimistic and innocent synth-driven piece of instrumental subtlety that leaves space for the imagination to run wild. Having graduated from Canyon High this year, Arch launches his solo career via Tip Top Recordings (Forest, Blue On Blue, GHXST) whilst producing remixes under both the Evan Arch and Swords 4 Salem monikers.   |
