Half Crown - Electric
I first saw Half Crown at Brighton Dome, supporting Rizzle Kicks in March 2013. In the last year and a half, the band have gone from strength to strength, with the release of their debut album 'Everything Goes' this summer. Read my review of the album here. Opening with a Foster The People style riff, the song is as rocky as Palm of Your Hand is funky. The vocals are raspy and rough but in a good way, and the electric guitar solo and middle-8: "I'm just a couple of watts, short of what you need" are fantastic, with a real gutsy oomph behind it. A really catchy chorus too: "They say you're electric so I can't touch you babe"
"Half Crown remind me of an early Kooks, but just a little bit cooler!"
Makeeng - Cool Down (ft. Heeni)
Recently moving to near Brighton after years of making music in Bristol and London, Flip Giles (aka Heeni) is a singer who is starting to lay some roots in her new city. With a wide range of performance experience including singing for a number of bands for summer festivals across the UK and busking her way across Europe, Heeni must be doing something right! She has guested vocals on a number of tracks and is on the look out for producers and potential bandmates at the moment, so if you're digging her stuff, then get in touch. This track, Cool Down by Producer Makeeng, is a smooth blend of jazzy hip-hip and is the perfect track for a lazy afternoon.

Beautiful Boy - But You Do
A fantastic local band that I keep seeing all over the place. Having recently seen them support Slow Club at Sticky Mike's and just this week, the sold out Catfish & The Bottlemen gig at The Haunt, they seem to get better with each show, and the standard is set very high to start with. Following on from their debut single 'Home/Love Me More', the band are working on their new single as you read this! It's quite unbelievable that they only formed last year! The new EP is sure to be a smash, with their reputation for catchy upbeat songs, great live performances and sell-out shows already proceeding them! Have a listen to my favourite of their tracks to date.

New Street Adventure - Nobody Wants You When You're Down And Out (Live)
New Street Adventure is a new wave soul group based in London. Lead singer and songwriter Nick Corbin, originally from Uckfield, takes a heavy influence from a comprehensive upbringing of soul music which he was rasied on (his dad Adrian runs a Northern Soul radio show on Uckfield FM). Playing regularly across London including a number shows at the famous 100 Club, hopefully NSA will come down to Brighton for a show soon. Signed to Acid Jazz, New Street Adventure will be releasing their forthcoming debut album in October. Check out the live version of their recent track below.
