Little pieces in recent NME Radar 'Buzz' sections:
BLOODY KNEES
"Mind-melting pop-punk glam and spiffing riffing doom - and dead ringers for fellow Cambridge upstarts Ill Murray. With live shows steeped in singalongs, reverb and sweat by the fuck-load, Bloody Knees probs idolise Green Day, but songs such as 'Ears, Eyes, Ohs, and Yous' pencil in a long and propitious path ahead."
HOWLING OWL RECORDS
"Featuring the cream of Bristol's blossoming scene, the marvellous Howling Owl imprint recently celebrated its first birthday by hurtling down the M4 in a 30-seat coach to take over London's Old Blue Last. Their roster is full of fuzzy goodness - Towns, Tidal Wars and Oliver Wilde are all worth checking out."
LAURA MVULA
"See, there is life after Adele. 'She' is all soulful, bruised beauty and it's headed for a playlist near you. Newly signed to RCA, and working with former Adele producer Tom Elmhirst, Mvula's phenomenal punch hangs on her Simone-style brooding and understated pop sass. Hold your tea in your left hand, and finger-click with your right."
