- ORDINARY – YONAKA: What we’re used to from these lot: loud and chaotic.
- WEAPON – AGAINST THE CURRENT: New emphatic returning from another female-front rock collective.
- BAD PLACE – THE HUNNA: One of the most consistent rock tribes right now; altering sounds to a down-tempo electronic style.

Listened to a couple of songs, pretty cool. Oddly enough, I hear what seems to be a Duran Duran influence. I’d have to give it a few more listens to see if I’m into it or not.

Yeah that’s a fair shout! Proper dance floor vibes with this one that’s for sure. Definitely keeping the sounds of Daft Punk alive. I personally like it a lot and love the change in style they’ve gone for. Dropped the dark act for a feisty work with a bit of colour!
