GORGEOUS BULLY - BEAUCOUP

PARTYBABY - I DON'T WANNA WAIT

THE CALM FIASCO - LOSE CONTROL
Released last week, the new single from Glasgow's indie rockers pulls together a killer combination of pounding drum beats, catchy pop hooks and some down 'n' dirty guitar riffs. Star rating: ****/5
BO ROCHA - HOLD MY GAZE
London-based songstress shares her latest single, out on May 27 via Bait and Switch Records. Hypnotic vocals with pensive piano chords and effective synths dominate in this electro-R&B follow-up to 'Angel Eyes'. Star rating: ***/5
