So heres a summary of our first 25 'New Bands of the Day', as first featured on Twitter, i think most have short write ups on the website too.
Having listened to all of the bands and artists again since we mentioned them, i've grown to really love some of the tracks, and theres probably a couple that in hindsight i'm not so sure about.
I dont think long lists are particularly helpful, and this is supposed to be a site with opinions, so here are my highlights...:
Theres no doubt that Fufanu are going to be the biggest name in the next few months, with an album apparently being mixed, live dates planned and a fair amount of publicity subsequent to their excellent Airwaves performance. I really like their single 'Circus Life', dark, hypnotic, clever, and am looking forward to the album very much.
ATOMBOMBs single ;At the Deep End' subsequently appeared in a couple of 'Best Song of 2014' lists, which was great to see, and well deserved for a band with a big sound and an edge to them. I really hope they can get an album completed for 2015.
Both Party at the Pharmacy ('Violet Coloured Sunset') and Ghost of Belle Starr ('Pink Guillotine') have great names and good debut songs worth playlisting, whilst I loved Kastrups catchy track 'Lydia', which took a while for people to notice, and its good to see they're releasing a follow up single.
Theres no dount that the collective of Norwegians based in the UK have great talent, i really like all of them, but perhaps Kalandra and Inge Bremnes in particular. whilst it was great to see Finnish shoegazers TYYNYT subsequently in NME.
Finally for something completely different, 'Shes a Sailor' are worth checking out on Bandcamp, as they have a very different 60s influenced pop sound, and the songs are just beautifully written.
