The Waiting Room - We Are The Ocean

One of my favourite new bands of the past few years have gone and bagged themselves a slot on the main stage at Reading & Leeds Festivals this year. And this brand new track proves just why they deserve it. Their new album is due to be released on April 25th and I for one, cannot wait!

Say Yes - The Xcerts

This goosebump inducing cover is brought to you by The Xcerts. Originally by American singer-songwriter Elliott Smith, the lads have done a simply stunning job. The Scottish accent manages to add another level of raw sincerity to the beautiful lyrics. There are no more words to describe it. Just listen.

Milk Teeth - Japanese Voyeurs

Japanese Voyeurs' leading lady Romily Alice has a strangely addictive voice. Definately not to be confused with Hayley Williams, Alice sounds something like a 12 year old girl trapped in an angry grunge queen's body. You can currently catch them on the Rock Sound Exposure Tour across the UK and their haunting track 'Smother Me' can be downloaded for free online. They also give you a great excuse to Google naughty things, if that's what you're into.

My Rock N Roll - Dinosaur Pile-Up

Leeds based trio Dinosaur Pile-Up have a definate Nirvana thing going on that will be sure to melt your face clean off. Their debut album Growing Pains has been doing pretty well and I predict big things for them in the near future. They are currently on the Rock Sound Exposure Tour and this is their brand new video. It feels so good to hear grunge again.

White Limo - Foo Fighters

A limo, Lemmy from Motorhead, rollerblades and champagne. If you're Foo Fighters, that's all you need to make a music video. Plus, this hilarious low budget video for the band's new screamy track also features Mrs Dave Grohl. Perfect viewing for both him and her on Valentine's Day.

Dead Model - Imperial Leisure

Imperial Leisure can do ska, they can do punk, they can do ska-punk and even a bit of rap. And now it seems they can do good ol' rock too. This is their new single which comes out on March 14th and it has to be said, the video is supurb. The track will feature on their new album which will follow shortly after. As fans of the 'guerilla gig', the band have performed on streets and beaches across the UK as well as doing little set under the Eiffel Tower. They even appeared on the news! Make sure you tune into Nerve Radio on March 15th at 1pm to hear them play a few tracks live.

Maybe We'll Die, Maybe We Won't - Blitz Kids

'A natural classic' sums up this track quite well. Wonderfully infectious and hugely powerful, Blitz Kids have provided us with yet another massive anthem. I highly recommend you check out some more of their stuff, including their song with Aled Jones from Kids In Glass Houses. I defy you not to love them instantly.
