DevilDriver – ‘Pray For Villains’
Santa Barbara’s biggest non-soap-opera export shakes the windows of ltd Towers with some nasty metal.
Kill It Kid (pictured) – ‘Burst Its Banks’
The bluesy Bristol boys (and girl) have a killer single – the album drops Autumn.
King Charles – ‘Time of Eternity’
We saw him at Glasto, we interviewed him last edition, and we dig the fluffy-haired-one’s music.
K’Naan – Troubadour
The Somalian rapper comes back with a cracking album.
Wallis Bird – New Boots
We’ve got the Irish singer’s single ‘To My Bones’ on heavy rotation.
