New Music Monday: SXSW Special

Most years I attempt to listen to all of the bands that are playing at South by Southwest Festival, this year I attempted to go through the list of 2,000+ bands but failed, I managed to get to the end of the H's and gave up the ghost. This is the list of unsigned bands that I thought were worth your time to listen to, I hope that at least some of them come out the other end and become household names!

New Music Monday - Swing Youth

This is the last entry for the next 2 weeks, this will be because I am going to be slaving through the SXSW bands list to put up my bands to check out if your going (I'm not annoyingly!).....Anyways check out Swing Youth they are a 4 piece from Watford who have a charming indie innocence sound which will take you back to those days where you skipped through fields of flowers when you were 16....actually its more likely to be the soundtrack to your friends house party.

Anyways check them out and pre-order their single from the link below
