DIY picks out four new acts to get (very) excited about.
Every month in DIY, we pick out four new artists who stick out in a big, ever-growing crowd of fresh faces. With each day that passes, there’s someone else turning heads, another act to follow and keep track with. Our weekly Neu Bulletins cram in everything brilliant we’ve heard.
Neu Recommended aims to filter things down to the absolute must-hear names, acts who’ve bit-by-bit established themselves as the real deal. Below, find out what we’re getting excited about.
Also in this month’s mag, Blaenavon tell us about their life-or-death debut album, politically-minded rapper GoldLink steps into the spotlight and Brighton’s loudest new band Abattoir Blues make a rude awakening. Read all about it here.
