No introduction needed. I'm sure you've heard the Oasis comparisons, but there's more to them than the Leicestershire swagger. They are a glorious synth-tinged melting pot of indie rock that will caress the eardrum, more akin to the sonic rock of Primal Scream.
Sure to be headlining festivals in the summer, so check them out in more intimate surroundings.

One of England's most successful bands of all-time, Depeche Mode has sold over seventy-five millions albums thanks to brilliant, oft-imitated synthesizer based songs like "Enjoy the Silence" and "Personal Jesus."

Postmodern ironists cloaked behind a veil of buoyantly melodic and lushly romantic synth pop confections, Pet Shop Boys' cheeky, smart, and utterly danceable music established them among the most commercially and critically successful groups of their era.
Always remaining one step ahead of their contemporaries, the British duo navigated the constantly shifting landscape of modern dance-pop with rare grace and intelligence, moving easily from disco to house to techno with their own distinctive image remaining completely intact. Satiric and irreverent -- yet somehow strangely affecting -- Pet Shop Boys transcended the seeming disposability of their craft, offering wry and thoughtful cultural commentary communicated by the Morse code of au courant synth washes and drum-machine rhythms.

Frontman Michael Angelakos is the brainchild behind Passion Pit, which has now grown into a 5-piece outfit. Having already released debut EP Chunk of Change as a Valtentine’s Day gift for a girlfriend who "put up with" him, expectations are high for their debut album.
You may have already heard the dreamy pop single Sleepyhead, borrowing MGMT's cosmic kaleidoscope and Hot Chip's geeky gizmos to produce stunning lo-fi electronic-pop al la Flaming Lips.

Wild Beasts write beautiful, intriguing, slightly offbeat but incredibly catchy pop songs. They signed to Domino Records in 2007 and released their debut album Limbo, Panto to critical acclaim. The follow up will be out in September this year. They are one of those rarest of animals; true, untamed originals.

With a piercing voice singing along to blues-infused feel-good songs, Paloma Faith is easily compared to the likes of Amy Winehouse and Duffy. More astute comparisons include "Björk meets Róisín Murphy while possessed by the ghost of Billie Holiday". The former burlesque performer updates the female soulstress template with vampish, theatrical flair.
Debut album Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? was released to mass acclaim this week, featuring Top 20 singles New York and Stone Cold Sober.
