The Sun Will ComeThe Sun Will Come by Honeyroot

Relatively unknown - Honeyroot have produced some of the finest chilled out summer sounds you will ever hear. Amazing, but I saw them first!
An End Has a StartAn End Has a Start by Editors

My fave indie/arty rockers at the moment. Either you love the voice or you hate it.. Smokers.. what a tune
Damage (UK Edition)Damage (UK Edition) by Kosheen

Heard a few tracks from this on a small pre-album tour. Sian Evans still sounds amazing and Kosheen remain rocking and original!

One listen and already addicted to this. No track skipping necessary, every track fab. def one of the best things i've heard this year
Peek a BooPeek a Boo by Marsheaux
Buy new: £14.19 / Used from: £12.50
I love Marsheaux. I've just ordered this becasue I only own Peekaboo. They are two Greek girls who make fastastic, melodic, analogue synth pop. please check their Myspace page and listen to 'Promise'
Fantastic PlayroomFantastic Playroom by New Young Pony Club
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £3.50
80's new wave kinda electro with funky beats and vocals with attitude. catchy as hell. (I defy you not to get 'hiding on the staircase' stuck in your head

pop/rock/synth with hooks in every track. highly listenable
Cease to BeginCease to Begin by Band Of Horses

Not my usual taste but chanced upon 'no one's gonna love you' on itunes and love the crisp vocals and strong melodies that this band can produce.
