Marques Toliver
Disney levels of glitter and magic waft around Toliver, his violin, and his earnestly gorgeous voice. You suspect that Toliver could repair any romantic rift with a single flourish of his bow.
-
Peggy Sue
Big, overdriven guitars battle with closely harmonised vocals and London vowels from this duo, who inject gothic drama into torrid folk songs sometimes reminiscent of early PJ Harvey.
-
Ghostpoet
With his voice oscillating between irony and deadly seriousness, Ghostpoet is one of the UK’s most complex MCs, both mired in and wryly observing the pressures of city life.
-
DZ Deathrays
Frantic, knucklehead riffs collide with vocal yowling in DZ Deathrays’ bluesy rock, while electronic pulses worm their way through the mayhem. Totally, refreshingly kick-ass.
-
Maverick Sabre
At ease with acoustic numbers as well as blockbusting pop, Maverick Sabre’s beautiful soulful voice – sometimes on the verge of cracking up, constantly hovers between fragility and strength.
-
Errors
Once purveyors of fiddly post-rock, Errors have recently embraced the fluorescent paint and spray tan of big-room dance, to create an uplifting and unique stadium rock hybrid.
-
Rizzle Kicks
Already massive off the back of singles like Down With The Trumpets, Rizzle Kicks manage to be both laid back and vocally nimble, carving out a sunlit pop-rap niche for themselves as a result.
-
Jodie Marie
This young Welsh singer has a stunningly versatile voice – creamily rich in its lower register, she takes off into its mid-range with knockout emotional delivery, backed by drums and welling strings.
-
Two Wounded Birds
Taking the spaghetti western psychedelia of The Coral and leavening it with moody vocals and washes of echo, Two Wounded Birds impressively flit between chugging rock anthems and minimalist ballads.
-
King Charles
Looking somewhere between Marc Bolan, Damian Marley and a Venusian sex god, King Charles is camp as Christmas, but anchors his songs with a rich and surprisingly careworn voice.
One to watch: Kyla La Grange
La Grange's grave and emotionally torpid voice is reminiscent of Bat For Lashes or Stevie Nicks’s more conflicted moments. She sets her tales of destructive romance amid epic guitar anthems.
