Hip Hatchet ‘American Charm’

No-one seems to know a huge deal about Hip Hatchet. We do know however that, under its current name, the band have existed for a few years, but also that they only really started to garner the fickle attention of the internet late last year with the release of an album entitled ‘Men Who Share My Name’.

Walk The Moon ‘Anna Sun’

I discovered Walk The Moon last night by watching my favourite super-awkward late night host, Jimmy Fallon. I had never heard of them before, but the American band put in one hell of a performance on ‘Late Night’, and I was immediately hooked.

Friends ‘Mind Control’

One of the year’s biggest buzzbands, Brooklyn (where else?) outfit Friends have released the latest taste of their upcoming debut album, a single called ‘Mind Control’. It’s really just more of the same, but that’s perfectly fine when what came before was so infectious and fun. Here’s the track.
