In the magazine December 2012 / January 2013 (Cover 1 of 3)

Featuring the Class of 2013, including Palma Violets, Peace, AlunaGeorge, Haim and more!

It seems like only yesterday we were picking out new bands for 2012, and already the year is as good as done. Time moves fast in the world of Mind Blowingly Amazing Music, but the next twelve months look like they’ll be especially great.We’ve not just got another batch of fresh meat to get our teeth stuck in to; this lot have a bit of extra sparkle. It’s been a long time since there’s been such a concentration of characters. From court jesters Peace and Palma Violets (who, alongside AlunaGeorge, grace our three special edition covers this month) to the genuinely mad Haim, these aren’t just brilliant musicians, but the kind of people who would be interesting even if they took up accountancy.Strap yourself in. 2013 looks like it’s going to be fun.
