It's a term one hears a lot - 'the next big thing' - but in a number of cases never quite happens in the end. But in the case of London quintet Citizens! the tag has a 9/10 chance of coming to fruition. If it doesn't, then something is going badly wrong somewhere.
Catchy tunes that grip you right from first hearing, an Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) produced debut album on its way in May, and before that they play a string of dates around the UK.
Signed to the French indie label, Kitsune, if you liked their debut single 'True Romance' last year, then the radio-friendly follow-up 'Reptile' (out on March 19) will eat into your ears like burrowing worms. (The accompanying video - see below - racked up over 5000 views in just under 3 days.) What's more, aside from these two singles, they already have another seven killer tunes in the bag.
Don't believe the hype, see this band for yourself - NOW!
