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.

The Ballad Of Mona Lisa - Panic! At The Disco

It seems that Panic! At The Disco have done a 360 with their new material. After their reinvention for second album Pretty Odd failed to attract much mainsteam attention - although I still believe its a cracking record - the band appear to have gone back to the old ways of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Perhaps Ryan Ross and Jon Walker got the folky Beatles influence in the divorce. Not only does this track give me shivers (in a good way), the new video has an awesome steampunk/murder mystery vibe. Here is the lyric video, which proves that the Las Vegas buys have returned to a world of debauchery.

Fall On Your Sword - LostAlone

Fancy a huge anthemic track with some filthy guitars thrown in? Then look no further than LostAlone. This is a mighty track by the Derbyshire lads who are currently working on their second album. They're not doing too badly either, with a support slot for My Chemical Romance's UK Tour fast approaching.

Slackerpop - The Xcerts

Try as I might, this song won't dislodge itself from my brain. But to be honest, I wouldn't want it too. It's fierce verses are perfection, and that chorus is beyond words. The Xcerts describe their sound as 'distorted pop' and liken themselves to a 'colder, darker, cosier Jimmy Eat World'. Whatever they are, they do it well. And guess what? You can catch them on the Rock Sound Exposure Tour this month.

Your Own Love - VersaEmerge

Look, it's Paramore! Only these guys are from Florida and have a slightly more kick-ass feel. VersaEmerge are in the UK right now so check em' out if you're after a younger Hayley Williams and co with even more eye-liner.

My Boots - LIGHTS

If electro-pop from outer space is your thing then LIGHTS is your girl. The World of Warcraft fanatic is a super talented lady from Canada who combines heartfelt lyrics with a whole host of instruments to create beautifully infectious songs for your ears. This is her latest single but if you want to hear it stripped down to just a girl and her guitar then LIGHTS has made an acoustic version available for free download on her Facebook page. So 'Like' away...
