'20 bands you need to hear in 2011'

[Tom4784]

According to NME. I've included videos of their songs in the spoilers as loading up 20 at once would probably kill my computer.

The Vaccines
LJ1TGlpCUKA

I'm not a fan, I think they're a bit generic.

James Blake
oOT2-OTebx0

I quite like him, He'll be one I'll watch out for.

Jessie J
S849lrkmuRc

I hated 'Do It Like A Dude' but I like this. I might have written her off too quickly.

Anna Calvi
iMtz1d0ruAk

I love her, I've been following her for a few months now, I think she's one of the new acts I'm most looking forward to.

The Naked & The Famous
WdO85Qf4Poc

I want to like them but I can't, I don't mind this song though.

Brother

I couldn't find any videos of them, serves them right for having such a generic name.

Niki & The Dove
BTHPO9uQonk

I like.....I like a lot.

Gypsy And The Cat
VuelwnVTNYc

I'm unsure of them, haven't got much of an opinion of them.

Jamie Woon
OZfDbEQAfOY
EL0pTo9Z_XU

I love him, Spirits is the better song of the two provided but they're both worth a listen.

Big Deal

Another Youtube shy group.

Grouplove
uzMC3IQ4fiI

I don't think they're awful but I have a feeling they have the potential to become very annoying.

Oh Land
PIG9w4wiKWU

NME describes her as similar to Lykke Li but I think she shares more with The Knife. I like her, I'm becoming quite a fan of alternate scandinavian pop strangely enough (not a sentence I thought I'd ever say)

Fixers

Again they don't seem to be on Youtube.

MONA
ziir6rf0eQk

They're nicknamed 'Princes of Leon' which suits them, they come across as the poundland version of KOL. I'll probably give them a bit more of a chance when I can find more of their material.

Spark
TfCd5eomm2U

Hmm, another one I'm unsure on. I think she could go either way.

Cults
KHhEBqRTXdk

A bit boring, I could grow to like them though.

Suuns
hDl3tCuYf0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hDl3tCuYf0

Hmm, not bad. They have potential.

Tribes

Another shy band...

Vondelpark

Someone needs to tell the indie scene about a wonderful invention called youtube.

Odd Furniture

Stop me if you've heard this one before...

The original....article I suppose, can be found here (http://www.nme.com/photos/20-bands-you-need-to-hear-in-2011/201222/1/1) with links to free downloads and such for some artists.

Any you care about? I'm most interested in Anna Calvi, Jamie Woon, Oh Land and Niki & The Dove.

[InOne]

You lost me at 'According to NME'

[Tom4784]

You lost me at 'According to NME'

Some of them genuinely aren't bad.

[Novo]

According to NovoME

kYwJDHqFMEw

The one to watch in 2011

I've seen him a thousand times before, very generic.

[Novo]

He is the best thing since Mario Barrett

NARjr3fMMvY

Mario back on the Scenes in 2011 my sources are telling me

[Tom4784]

As if the first time wasn't bad enough.

[InOne]

Infact out of that list I do like Mona, but can't see them becoming big or anything

[Novo]

Dezzy if you don't like Mario then their is no hope for you, I don't know anyone who doesn't like " Let me Love you "

[Tom4784]

Infact out of that list I do like Mona, but can't see them becoming big or anything

It's a case of KOL getting there first really.

[Tom4784]

Dezzy if you don't like Mario then their is no hope for you, I don't know anyone who doesn't like " Let me Love you "

People with taste mainly :joker:

[Stu]

Ah come on Novo stick to Tupac. I don't see the love for this generic as hell soft spoken black dudes moaning about love thing. RnB I'm told it's called. RnB must be the most boring music on the planet. And it's so unknowingly gay.

[Patrick]

cba looking at them all but I like Naked and Famous and The Jessie Price Tag girl.

[Novo]

I prefer Rap any day of the week, Tupac, Kadafi, BT&H > the two songs i've posted in this thread

But a lot of R&B songs ( Mainly the one's released in 2001-2004 ) are so catchy it's hard not to like them, Mario just takes me back to year 7-8 when everyone use to love him, and the only thing gay about R&B is Johnny Dangerous

[Vicky.]

Strange question...but Jessie J...is that the same one who is in the and on that tv program. Dont forget the lyrics I think its called?

It was on repeat all day boxing day and all I rememer is Alfie Moon kep saying 'take it away jessie j' and that...on every song

[Shaun]

I've got James Blake's album...it's not bad, but...**** off, dubstep.

[Tom4784]

I don't think so, I did a quick google search and nothing came up.

[LemonJam]

Well I didnt know that :bored:

I actually quite liked that program, was the first time I had seen it...the people on it were so stupid though, the songs were easy

[Shaun]

that James Blake song is a Feist cover :bored:

I like the sound of the Vaccines, Niki & the Dove and Gypsy and the Cat.

The Naked and Famous are so 2010 :bored:

[seanraff07]

Four Letter Word :lovedup:

'Four Letter Word' is my favourite so far, they're music won't be a patch on Oasis' but i've been impressed so far.

[InOne]

Their first single will be 'The Roller' which is epic as well

[Smithy]

Listing to some of Jessie J's album atm

Not feeling it :/
