These bands will be huge this year...trust us
In today’s blog-driven music scene, bands get anointed the Next Big Thing from so many corners and at such an accelerated pace that it’s a fool’s mission to guess which ones will actually make an impact. So call us a bunch of fools: here are Metromix’s picks for 15 up-and-coming artists that we think are worthy of the hype. From British dance-pop crews like the Whip (pictured) and Friendly Fires to hip-hop upstarts like Black Milk and Asher Roth to keepers of the indie rock flame like the Postelles, there’s something here for everyone to look forward to in 2009.
