Label: Mute

A London fivesome that should soon be making waves in music. Aggressive beats and lazy vocals combine effectively. Peppered with occasional rock and roll brilliance and laced with electro, XX Teens bring some old school to the contemporary table. Topping the charts won’t come easily as their sound may not cater for all tastes, but at the very least they grab you by the ears and demand respect.

Listen to: How to Reduce the Chances of Being a Terror Victim, The Way We Were

Sounds Like: The Strokes using synths (although ‘How to Reduce the Chances of Being a Terror Victim’ has a definite UK grime-scene edginess coupled with lyrics in the style of Scroobius Pip)
