Where almost through the first month of the new year, and while a lot is going to change this year, some things have to stay the same, with that being said, lets take a look at this new line-up of bands that I think you should check out in this year.

On the touring side of things the band has been around the UK a bit, sharing the stage with acts such as “Coast To Coast”, “Slackrr” and “Tigress”
What I like about their sound is the upbeat feel most of their songs have, with an instrumental vibe that seems to mix easycore with pop hooks, which is alternated with some 90s rock influences.
