punk era rolled into one but with very much their own stamp on things.
We heard it a year ago and it sounds great–rough and raw edged and the demo quality adds to its power- breathtaking variation of songs as well from industrial to twangy to neo ballads…
After the fab and noisy mid life crisis of Grinderman Mr Cave returns to sumptious, sly and darkly brilliant song writing of his other incarnation- himself…
Now signed to matador Danish discordent punk band can either get more wilfully wild or strip it down- this will be a fascinating release…
The great dirty disco band are back with anew album of stripped dow, dark electronic pulses- could be one of the albums of the year.
More loud/quiet atmospheric guitar brilliance from the great Glasgow band
It’s been mastered. it must be ready…will expectation kill the long awaited album or will people just listen to as a piece of music… an intriguing release…
The Mancunian guitar hero is back…his gig last year in Manchester was great like he was reclaiming his own heritage which is a good sign for the album…
LA punk rock crew show how punk rock should be played in the 21st century- tough and powerful but with a mind of its own that is not bogged down by any limitations…
At last the album is ready for release- could be one of the big ones as MIA redefines the modern beat and the electronic pulse of the world’s inner cities to her own agenda.
12. No Age : TBA
making the perfect noise for the new millennium, they were fighting some light and shade in their abrasive noise and could be due a big jump…
13. Richard Thompson : Electric

the new album should consolidate this.

Ferocious punk rock from Liverpool band
If they can defy the hype the latest British guitar band that want to change the world with song can make their mark.
The brilliant Andrew Weatherall returns in the guise of moody electro pop…
The kings of grunge were on a psychedelic tip last we heard- whatever they do it’s tinged with genius…
rumoured spring album from the hipster band who transcend the world of cool with great songs and a brilliant front woman.
Their last album veered too much towards ‘hoping to sell records’ . lets hope they find their abrasive touch again.

31. Chvrches : TBA
Climactic, atmospheric pop that is already being tipped as being one of the triumphs of the year…
It’s just an internet rumour and they did release an album last year and never seem to be in a hurry to release stuff but we are hoping for more apocolyptic post hardcore with strings…
Thebe Neruda Kgositsile or Earl Sweatshirt from hip hop collective and mangler of genres Odd Future takes the solo route…
Again it’s only rumours but we are looking forward to the post mani Primals album especially after kick ass recent gigs…
Bristol based band who deal in delayed guitars, feedbacks, drones, and layers of sound.
Possible return for the post hardcore band whose powerful music can get messy onstage.
Another member of the Odd Future rewriters of hip hop history , Tyler- real name Frank Ocean came out this year which sadly shocked many people. This album will perhaps deal with this whilst still dealing cutting edge music.

65daysofstatic posted in their band blog on 12th December that “Album number 6 is rising/hatching/forming like so many Terminator/Jurassic Park/The Thing analogies. This could be the weirdest one yet, but you?re going to have to wait a little longer” – this probably means an autumn release, and as in the three years since their last regular studio album there’s been the “Silent Running” film soundtrack as well as Polinski’s more electronic solo album I’m very excited to see where they go with this.
Manchester’s The Longcut seem to have been working on their third album for ever, though with band members becoming dads in the past year (including twins for one) this isn’t exactly surprising. Occasional dates in 2012 introduced some great new songs, longer and more prog inspired than ever: no release date as yet but we’re hoping it’s 2013!
Mixing up archive propaganda and, unsurprisingly, public servic broadcast samples with driving motorik rhythms, catchy synthpop melodies and post-rock inspired instrumentation Public Service Broadcasting.
and maybe, Franz Ferdinand…
