September 4 2015 - Hot Top Ten

GIRL FRIEND - ELECTRIC BLUE
The Manchester outfit are back with a new track - "the soundtrack to a bittersweet romantic failure". Sounds a winner to us, and the sensual vocals over synth lined rhythm will help these boys go far. Possibly their strongest track to date.
