One of the more primary buzzbands at the moment, the London based baroque pop-ers can be cynically summed up as ‘Arcade Fire fronted by Zach Condon’.

Austin, TX quartet Conquistador have two self released EPs to their name so far and a sound that is equal parts Ween and Nine Inch Nails. ‘Power of Passionate Shoppin’ ‘, the lead track off their second EP, is synthed out 80s coke rock with a social conscious… unless they are just fucking with us.
