A couple of days ago, Reading & Leeds Festivals added over 30 new bands to the already AMAZING line up. There are quite a few that had me gasping and cheering so I thought I'd specify which ones and tell you my favourite tracks of theirs.
DON BROCO - Hold On
One of my favourite songs from this album (Priorities). I have seen these lads three times already and they have never ever disappointed me. To be honest, the best I've ever seen them was at Reading last year - they absolutely SLAYED it. Them at Reading this year on the main stage will be GOLD.
THE PRETTY RECKLESS - Make Me Wanna Die
Probably the most well known song by this band and from the few others that I heard it is probably the best. Hugely catchy, riff-tastic, and the build up on the bridge - flawless. I would love to see this performed live.
DEAF HAVANA - Filthy Rotten Scoundrels
One of the best songs on this entire album. I want to say that it has a killer opener but it's not just the intro - it's the intro, the finish and everything in between! The drums on this track are mad. I saw Deaf Havana live last year at Reading on the Main Stage and they were alright but I think they'll be even better this year on the NME/Radio 1 stage.
DARWIN DEEZ - Radar Detector
Mad love for Mr Deez. He has recently been on tour in the UK and although I sadly couldn't get tickets, from what I heard, the tour was immense. I'm sure his set at Reading will be absolute quality. This song just makes me so happy (the album makes me ecstatic).
SAN CISCO - Fred Astaire
And now the band who actually supported Darwin Deez on his UK tour. San Cisco are a pretty good upcoming Indie Pop band and the songs from their current self-titled album will be perfect for the festival environment.
WAVVES - Lunge Forward
One of the best albums that I've heard all year. I LOVE THIS BAND. Hopefully, I'll be able to see them live this year because they have produced some of the best music I've heard in a long while. Reading won't know what hit 'em.
CHARLIE BOYER AND THE VOYEURS - Be Nice
GNARWOLVES - Limerence
I actually saw these guys last year when they supported The Story So Far at The Kasbah. They weren't what I expected but they got the crowd sufficiently riled up nonetheless. Check out what I had to say about them here.
SAVAGES - Shut Up
Again another album that has made my Top 10 list of albums this year. THIS ALBUM IS FRENETIC. A masterpiece of a debut. And this beauty, is just the opening track! If the bass is as ferocious as this live then this set will be feral. I AM READY. Reading however, is not.
So those are a few of the fantastic acts that I'd like to see this year and just a few of the immense acts that will grace the six stages in the Reading and Leeds fields this year. Here's a list of all the acts that were announced this week...
