Who\u2019s on this \u2018mad exciting\u2019 lineup then, I hear you beautiful humans ask. Well, beautiful human, you can hear the epic Pop-Rock sounds of <\/span>FAST CAR TO FLORENCE<\/b><\/a>, the stunning soulful <\/span>Folk of TORI SHEARD<\/b><\/a>, and the mosh-tastic Pop-Punk of <\/span>CATCH FIRE<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

THURSDAY<\/b><\/p>\n

Your favourite FIFA soundtrackers<\/span> APRIL TOWERS<\/b><\/a> just released their debut album this Friday, and to celebrate, they\u2019re strutting their Electro-Pop vibes all the way down to <\/span>Rough Trade<\/b><\/a>. Whilst ya don\u2019t need to buy the album to get in (it is a free show), you almost definitely should – 1) cos, it\u2019s a banger. Full of anthemic Electronic Pop goodness that will make every organism within your body start a conga line of happiness. And 2) – Karma. Vocalist Alex might \u2018accidentally\u2019 throw the mic at you if you don’t. Maybe. Anyways – the album is sounding well special (our Artist of the Month review will be out next week dontcha know?), so for now, get your copy, get your best dancing Nike\u2019s on, and bop your conga line of organisms all over the place. <\/span><\/p>\n
