Artist: Villainettes “Diamonds”
Album: Self-titled

Driven by an impressive array of shimmering synth-like guitars, pulsating rhythms and hypnotic grit, Melbourne’s Villainettes bring to mind bands like The Clash, Kasabian and even a little Joy Division.

Artist: HAWK HOUSE “Vulcan Grip (Topic 3)”
Album: A Handshake to The Brain EP

This is the latest from South London electro-rap trio, HAWK HOUSE and it’s a pretty rich and intrepid listening experience. With everyone from Mac Miller and Ghostpoet to Wretch 32 and Grammy-winning pioneer Jill Scott throwing their support behind the band, they’re off to a promising start.

Artist: Even Mellows “Seven”
Album: Single

A wash in aching R&B vocals, deep bouncing bass and paranoid electronics.
