Hailing from London, Friendly Fires’ intuitive grasp of kinetic art-funk, electronic euphoria and stadium-sized anthems has led to them becoming one of the most exciting and critically feted new bands of the past few years. Their new album, Pala, is out on XL Recordings, and will continue to have the band rocking dance floors across the world.

New Zealand indie-electronic ensemble, The Naked and Famous create driving, melodic pop with an 80’s post-punk influence. Centered around the talents of vocalist Alisa Xayalith and guitarist/vocalist Thom Powers, the band formed in 2008 and released two EPs prior to releasing their debut album, Passive Me, Aggressive You featuring the number one electronica-fuelled pop single, “Young Blood” that has propelled them onto the international music scene.

Cults is a boy/girl duo consisting of Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin who have already converted fans with their exuberant, danceable garage rock. Pitchfork said of their first single“Go Outside,” “it has the innocent and balmy feel that brings to mind Swedish indie pop, with a tinkling glockenspiel cutting through humidity, an appealingly lazy bassline, and joyous sing-along vocals.”
