Typically Kate Nash, the video for this catchy pop tune sees Kate in a brightly coloured imaginary world playing with giant Kiss Me love hearts, with giant cats, pink cuddly bears and her friend Wesley Goode. Taken from her debut album Made of Bricks.
Punky Scottish rockers The Fratellis return with the debut single to their second album Here We Stand. It’s a typically spiky and upbeat song set to a colourful vaudevillian video with what looks like the Mad Hatters Tea Party from Lewis Carrol’s novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Hotly-tipped indie starlets Black Kids hail from The Sunshine State of Florida and infuse their music with an upbeat, summery and insatiably catchy brand of sugary guitar pop. Musically they’re a kaleidoscopic cascade of Cure vocals, funky basslines, broken Go! Team beats and The Flaming Lips’ weirdness.
College Rock poster boys Weezer party it up with Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion and enjoy games of Twister and foosball with the bikini clad babes who just happen to be hanging out at the home of America’s adult entertainment industry.
Turn your speakers up to 11 and stand back! Once a poster pop boy band, McFly have turned into a proper punk-pop band of their own now with One For The Radio. If Jonas Brothers are here to take Busted’s crown then McFly are aiming for the heads of the Vans-wearing teens. Bassist Dougie Poynter pulls off a few Sum 41 moves and Danny Jones wields his guitar like Muse’s Matt Bellamy. Guaranteed to get crowds jumping this summer.
British folk popsters Noah And The Whale are joined by teenage singer-songwriter Laura Marling in the video to their single 5 Years Time. Catchy and just perfect for those long summer’s evenings. Taken from their debut album Peaceful The World Lays Me Down.
Hurricane Jane is US alternative indie rock band Black Kids’ second single to be taken from debut album Partie Traumatic, which was produced by former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler. More downbeat than their infectious debut single I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With you, Hurricane Jane fuses the haunting synth sounds and vocals of The Cure into something all together more summery.
Story Problem is taken from epic Iowa rockers Envy Corps’ debut album Dwell. The hilarious video is a colour spoof of crazy Japanese game show Takeshi’s Castle. Their sound is reminiscent of bands such as Hope of the States, Radiohead, Modest Mouse and Arcade Fire.
