Song: Superstar
Why? With one of the purest rock sounds I’ve heard in a while, London based Twin Wild bring that good old British rebellious nature that mixes so well with their music creating something with a pull so powerful that you can’t help and tap your feet to the beat of the drums, throw an air guitar chord or two and aim at singing along to a voice so powerful that simply owns the flow of the song.

Song: Pleasure Delay
Why? Because it’s all that you could ask for a modern day indie rock song – it’s influenced by grunge, some good old rock and splashed with some punk undertones while creating a soundscape so electrifying and mystifying that can only be discovered through the powerful yet approachable voice of Sg.
