Cerebral Ballzy

Their music's punky and aggressive but they've got quite good tunes. Sometimes when a band's punky, it's in place of the tunes but Cerebral Ballzy seem to have good melodies too. The singer's really cool and charismatic. They have overall energy. They're wild.

Duane The Teenage Weirdo

He's amazing: he looks like a young Prince, or a teenage boy pretending to be Grace Jones. In his videos he's dressed up in these bizarre costumes, almost like performance art. He's just signed to the Black Lips' label.

Death Grips

I'd describe their music as horror hip-hop. The beats are really simple and the rapping's ultra-direct, like being punched in the face. There's a video of the guy rapping in a car and all the windows are fuzzed out with telly static. It's really intense; there's something quite David Lynch about it.

Willy Moon

He mixes rockabilly with electro. We love those kind of fusions and used to do them all the time with the Boosh. He's slightly hilarious as a character: he's wearing a suit, but he's also got a bit of a dog face. It's ludicrous, but there's also something instantly appealing about it.

Wild Flag

They're a cool new band formed by ex-members of Sleater-Kinney. They played in Dalston recently and it was a great gig – classic indie girl band stuff. There should be more girl bands. We like punky girls.

Loose Tapestries

They make luxury music and wander around in strange outfits. No one knows where or when they originate from.
