Rock Radar: Four bands YOU NEED to be aware of

If these four bands aren’t on your radar already then where have you been hiding?

Yuppee’s Music give you the lowdown on which acts you should be listening to this month.

The Tuts are a three piece comprising Nadia Javed on guitar and lead vocals, Beverly Ishmael on drums and Harriet Doveton on bass and backing vocals. The West London trio have been compared to The Libertines, and produce catchy punk-pop tracks that sound like a chipper British version of Best Coast. Other than producing and performing cracking tracks, the self-managed band are currently on tour with Kate Nash.

This Chicagoan band are reminiscent of The Story So Far, and their latest EP ‘The Weight That You Buried’ packs more ferocious punk than pop. Catchy guitar hooks, moments of Brand New-esque lyricism and scornful, bitter vocals make this one of the most exciting releases we’ve heard in a long time.

For fans of: Punk, fast guitar music, angst

anavae dimensionsAlternative rock band Anavae have had a few Yuppee.com mentions before. The band have just released their second-since-signing a record deal single and ‘Anti-Faith’ is more than a brilliant follow up to their label-debut ‘Storm Chaser’. Soon touring with White Clouds and Gunfire, the band will be able to gather even more fans ahead of the release of their ‘Dimensions’ EP out in early November.
