The Ting Tings

You can't miss the Ting Tings lately, they are ruling the charts and the airwaves with their DIY brand of indie-pop. Playful, danceable and down right infectious; tracks such as 'Great DJ' and 'That's Not My Name' have become some of 2008's biggest anthems.

The Verve

The Britpop titans return in August with their first album in eleven years and if lead single 'Love Is Noise' is anything to go by then its sure to be packed full of anthems. After there show-stopping headline slot at Glastonbury the Wigan four piece are truly back and ready to rule once more.

Buraka Som Sistema


In 2007 we had CSS, in 2008 it is Buraka Som Sistema providing the Latin dance flavas for our summer soundtrack. Hailing from Portugal, their mix of favela beats and Hip Hop rhymes has already caught the ear of the cool kids in East London and is set to criss-cross the globe from Oslo to the Isle Of Wight over the next few months.

MGMT

The American duo are pretty much everywhere this summer, gracing the stages of all the festivals and crossing the lips of all those in the now. Think Flaming Lips meets Of Montreal with added electro beeps, buy their album 'Oracular Spectacular' and listen to it on long, hot, hazy summer days.

The Last Shadow Puppets

The indie supergroup that combines the talents of Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (The Rascals) go on their first ever tour this summer. It will be the first time many of their fans will get the chance to hear their album 'The Age Of Understatement' in the live setting. It should be quite an occasion.
