Tribes - We Were Children

Tribes lead singer Johnny Lloyd bursts into this raucous debut release with the explosively delivered opening line: 'It was a day like today/A Sunday afternoon', paving the way for the rest of this frenetic monster of a song. Currently touring with Two Door Cinema Club and Metronomy as part of the NME Awards Tour, Tribes are set for big things this year.

The Mexanines - Katie Callous

Another top quality band by way of West Yorkshire, The Mexanines present the riff-tastic Katie Callous, based around a fictional lady killer. Parts of the song have an early Kings of Leon-esque vibe to them: 'You better see it through/or Katie's gonna come for you'. Have a listen below.

Radiohead - Codex

Codex is one of the stand-out tracks on the new Radiohead record 'The King Of Limbs'. Cue a 'Nude' like vocal cutoff and piano reminiscent of 2001's 'Pyramid Song', Thom Yorke's strained vocals accentuate beautiful songwriting: 'Jump off the end/The water's clear/And innocent'.

The track is almost ominous with its dark, consistent keys and subtle, pacing drums. The underlying theme of nature on the album is present; a chorus of birds can be heard at the end of the song. Have a listen for yourself..
