New bands you've found...

[Bignews]

As the title suggests, what new bands/artists have you found that you enjoy from the current crop we have/any future announcements?

I personally had never really listened to Belle and Sebastian before to any great depth and I am loving quite a lot of their stuff!

The same with DFA 1979 so much so now that they are a must see and I will undoubtedly be going by myself!

Your turn...

[Tyonks]

Always heard a lot of good things about DFA 1979, but never listened to them for one reason or another. Them being on the line up gives a great excuse to listen get into them proper.

The Fall although obviously nowhere a near a "new band" is one that I hadn't listened to before so I've taken some time to recently to get into them, despite their overwhelming back catalogue! Really enjoying their music though.

Still want to listen to more of Young Fathers too! Only listened to "get up" which has a lot of potential.

So much music, so little time!

[MattLeam]

St Paul and the Broken Bones and Alvvays are my favourites so far (I think they are both TBC). And a special mention to Vintage Trouble who were my favourite new band last year but got rained off after a song and a half.

I saw Belle and Sebastian in Santiago last year, I wouldn't say they are the most spectacular live band you will ever see but they make up for it with charm and great songwriting

[AbuHamster]

I know these guys and they are airing the final confirmation for one of the smaller stages.

'Haze' is out on the 18th. www.pledgemusic.com/themanicshine

I've not got into anyone to the extent that they're a must see (probably just as well as they'll no doubt end up clashing) but I've started listening to Ryan Adams, Young Fathers, Caribou and Jamie XX since the lineup announcement, all of whom are good. I'll hopefully see a couple of them but doubt I'll manage to see all four due to clashes.

[home to you]

I'd only listened to one or two songs from Goat's albums but fter seeing the excitement on here for them I decided to give them a proper listen and they've really impressed me. They're supposedly better live too

[Badlands]

+1 For Young Fathers. Their second album is a lot more accessible than the first. Still a dark old listen mind.

Death from above 1979 is a new one for me

[sirdannytee]

St Paul and the Broken Bones are great, singer is like a white, chubby Otis Redding. Terry and Gerry and who are an 80's skiffle band from the Midlands. The Glastonbury 2015 playlist that is floating around on here is a superb way of uncovering little gems like these.

The find so far this year for me is Gregory Porter, I woud'nt be a huge Jazz fan but his voice is pure velvet, can't wait.....not long now!!!

[Wallace]

Only heard one song from the emerging talent winner Declan McKenna (Brazil) but it sounds like he could be pretty good and could be shaped into the mould of the Ed Sheeran / Jake Bugg type of sound

[let's 'ave it!!!]

Ryan Adams, Courtney Barnett and DFA 1979

[sheffieldlady]

I need to start bringing my headphones to work - I feel like I'm having a major lapse in my pre-festival new band finding - will take some of the suggestions from in here though

[SimplyFred]

Lianne La Havas & Future Islands I was aware of but now I'd call myself a fan now & then from the smaller bands I didn't know like Tankus The Henge, Skinny Lister & Maz O'Connor are all worth a listen - also like some of Ibeyi's stuff though took a while to get into.

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

John Fairhurst, as recommended by somebody on here. He's like a Hendrix/seasick Steve/Curtis stigers lovechild and he's brilliant.

[rinzeanne]

is it weird to say that I never listened to Florence and the Machine before?

She is not so well known in the Netherlands, but I love her music!

[Bignews]

Ryan Adams, Courtney Barnett and DFA 1979

I can't for the life of me understand the hype around Courtney Barnett, everyone seems to rave about her so I may be missing something!

[mungo57]

not a new band but they are for me - Wolf Alice

Also Courtney Barnett and Caribou, had heard the name before the fest but never got round to listening to them (Caribou).

Good on all you who have discovered DFA1979, been a top band of mine for ages. One my list of 'must see no matter what the clash' bands!

[teamsofa]

Slaves, Wolf Alice, Ibeyi and DFA1979 so far

[Brave Sir Robin]

John Fairhurst, as recommended by somebody on here. He's like a Hendrix/seasick Steve/Curtis stigers lovechild and he's brilliant.

I've been championing Fairhurst on here for a couple of years, he is superb. But there is not a hint of Curtis Stigers about him!!

[Quark]

Working through the rumour / confirmed list, probably not new to some but new for me! Bard, Circa Waves (they'll be brilliant if the weather's right), Father John Misty and Gregory Porter. And I know I'm about 2 decades behind on these two, but Belle & Sebastian and Super Furry Animals!

[Quark]

Oh, and from this year's ETC I looooove K.O.G. & the Zongo Brigade. Check out the clip on the Glastonbury website, they look like being a proper party.

[scrippit]

Wow - John Fairhurst - watch this all the way through!

[ghandi]

I am now an Ibeye and Wolf Alice fan ( watched last years JP performance after the fest as I saw someone else and really like them )

Not as small but another new love is Sharon Van Etten, had not heard her before, now love her

[Dora]

I can't for the life of me understand the hype around Courtney Barnett, everyone seems to rave about her so I may be missing something!

Agreed.
