As we kick off another twelve months of musical giddiness, here are five things you should have marked down for the first month of the year.
Sundara Karma kick start a year of new bands blasting out their own scene
You might have noticed we’re quite excited about 2017’s crop of new bands about to land kicking and screaming with their debut albums. First to drop are Sundara Karma, who release their full-length ‘Youth Is Only Ever Fun In Retrospect’ this Friday, 6th January.
The kind of acts who send stuffy old fogeys and insecure boasters only publicly pinning their colours to the mast of the safest pseudo-intellectual sounds into death throws of scared mortality, Sundara lead a charge full of exuberance, aware but not overly concerned with what came before. They’re about the moment - a lightning rod for a generation looking for something exciting to call their own but not at all bothered if it's been done before. A decade on from the day-glo flash of Nu-Rave and the deafening buzz of Skins, the signs are all there; like it or not, in 2017 the gatekeepers are changing the guard.

We've all heard about the struggle of 2016 - heck; we lived through it. It only makes sense that - when our brows are at their most fevered, our worries at their most intense - two of our most emotionally powerful bands should return to ease our fears.
