The Wannadies - You and Me Song

You and Me Song is a slice of perfect feelgood Britpop straight out of northern Sweden.

The Cure - The Lovecats

Some might feel that The Lovecats is not highly danceable, but that only holds true if you're the sort who believes dancing to be in some way a co-ordinated activity.

Alex Feder - Moments of Silence

There once was a time when I would have worried that Moments of Silence, the new track from Alex Feder, sounded a bit like, I don't know, like pop music I suppose. As the raven...

Blur - Song 2

Take a bow, Graham Coxon. And take a bow, Blur, for creating a song that both rules and mocks a whole genre. Kudos!

The Mary Onettes - Lost

'Lost sees The Mary Onettes at the very top of their game: a driving rhythm pounds along through the verse and into a colossal chorus backed by heavenly synths. Perfect.'

Pulp - Common People

Not just a Britpop anthem, Common People is THE Britpop anthem. It's a defining moment of a genre, a band's career, and the lives of many fans.

Listen to The Dew Lasts an Hour, by Ballet School

'A couple of weeks ahead of its release on September 8th (UK) / 9th (US) **The Dew Lasts an Hour**, the debut album from Berlin-based dream pop group Ballet School, is streaming exclusively on Hype...

Tara Rice - No Harm

No Harm is taken from the recently released EP Panorama by Canadian singer/songwriter Tara Rice. With hints of PJ Harvey, its gothic pagan shadows contain a sinister yet beguiling darkness.

We Were Promised Jetpacks - Quiet Little Voices

There's nothing quiet about this 2009 debut single from the Scottish indie rock band.

Queens of the Stone Age - No one Knows

Nominated in the "Best Hard Rock performance" category in the 2003 Grammys, No One Knows eventually lost out in that super-important award race to All My Life by Foo Fighters. In other words, a song...

King Creosote - Something to Believe In

Something to Believe In is the opening track from King Creosote's 2014 album From Scotland With Love. As beautiful as it is moving, it is accompanied by footage from the documentary film of the same...

Sonic Youth - Kool Thing

Enough of the happy good-time fun section of the indie disco playlist, it's time to get arch and dance like a Kool Thing.

Telekinesis - Coast of Carolina

Coast of Carolina is an absolute corker, from its scratchy lo-fi intro, to the buzz of the guitar when it arrives, and the brilliant, super-catchy chorus.

The Persian Leaps - Pretty Boy

As melodic indie rock goes, Pretty Boy is up there with the best of them. At just over two minutes long it's a superbly executed slice of noise-pop that sets itself up, sprays hooks all...

Talk Talk - It's my Life

It's My Life failed to reach the Top 40 on its original release in 1984, but became the band's highest charting single when it got as high as

Everything by Electricity - Abyss

Abyss is the new track from London three-piece Everything by Electricity. It starts off atmospheric, dreamy. It ends atmospheric, dreamy, in synth and reverb floating in a sea of beats.

Friendly Fires - Hawaiian Air

'Hawaiian Air is a partly autobiographical tale of heading off for a short time in paradise. The message is: the journey might be hell, but the arrival makes it all worthwhile.'

The Rural Alberta Advantage - On the Rocks

The Rural Alberta Advantage return with their first new album for three years in September. Preview the album with the fierce energy and ominous, rumbling bass drone of On The Rocks.

We Have Band - Someone

'Someone is nothing less than perfect: a tight electronic indie disco track that the other electro-indie bands can only covet despairingly.'

The Hives - Hate To Say I Told You So

Hate To Say I Told You So throws itself at you like an angry modern day Kinks: don't fight it, feel it.
