anditmakesmesmile Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Loads of these doing the rounds right now and it’s always hard to know how genuine they are as opposed to how much they’re the result of a forceful label’s PR agency. It’s much better to hear the tips from efestival forumites. Here are mine - I gave myself the self-imposed rule that they can’t have released an album yet. EPs are fine. So, my top nine is Everyone You Know The Howl and the Hum Jnr Williams Meggie Brown Odd Morris Easy Life Fur Nia Wyn HAAi Edited December 29, 2019 by anditmakesmesmile Duplicated image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superunknown Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Been about a bit now but as far as I'm aware they haven't released an album yet, Sports Team. As above, Squid and Black Country New Road too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerfish79 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I’m really looking forward to the second Creeper album. Loved the first and didn’t think we’d get a second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think this mob will have a good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Concur with the lot of ya. Squid, BC,NR and Wooze especially, all slayed it live at various points throughout the year, really looking forward to hearing a lot of what they played on record. Really hoping Sinead O Brien puts out an album though, I find the stuff she's already put out hypnotic Youtube has also decided I'm a beabadoobee (which I always fuck up and pronounce beadaboobee, and then laugh at as I'm a child) fan which I can get on board with. Glad she made the BBC 2020 list, sure we'll see a lot of her this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they have not released their album yet. I agree I think it should be a good year for them and expect them to pop up at a number of festivals once we start to see more lineups. Good to see they are on the Mad Cool lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the first and didn’t think we’d get a second. I had heard a few tracks by them and I picked up a copy of the first album on ebay and surprised just how good it was. I know its old fashioned but I can't help myself, I still like physical copies of music CD's and Vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDaze Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 2 bands with debuts coming out in Q1.... both getting good reputations and so not quite so 'never heard of them' as most suggested so far : Before @crazyfool1gets the opportunity... The album has a ton of decent tunes and i feel they will get a lot of half decent festival slots this summer, leading to a step up in live venues (Cambridge Junction vs Portland Arms) and also these chaps, who will start to feel the love outside of Manchester : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess she'll get a BBC Introducing slot and depending on the next few months maybe an early Park slot or something. She's working with one of The Vaccines so she'll have some contacts on top of the BBC support, dunno if she's broken into Radio 1 yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lessthanwill1 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 Forgot to mention Do Nothing. Released four great singles so far. Great sounding Art Rock/Post-Punk Band (think LCD Soundsystem mixed with Parquet Courts/Ought). The latest single is great - very catchy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a John Peel stage slot. She's actually good tho. 12 hours ago, Superunknown said: Been about a bit now but as far as I'm aware they haven't released an album yet, Sports Team. Like 'em but everyone is going to hate these by the end of 2020. A gang of Cambridge University students sticking the knife into Fontaines and IDLES aren't gonna be champions of the people, but fair play to them for not giving a fuck.
