3. Folks
Folks are a band from Manchester, England and are another band that are bringing the sounds of the past blazing into the future. You can hear the influences of 90s Brit Pop coming from Folks as soon as you press play and set the track to go. You would be forgiven for thinking its what The Beatles would have sounded like if they had had to compete with Blur and Pulp for the number one spot. Theyre on to a winner with their song My Mother, its a killer live and you can already see in your head all the hipsters going wild for it when it comes on at the coolest indie night in town at the most commercial night club in town. The irony wont be lost on them, Im sure. Formed in 2004 it has been a long time coming for the six piece, but there is a definite buzz about these North-Westerners and with the momentum increasing towards a paradigm shift where guitar music comes back big in 2013. It is only a matter of time before Folks are selling out venues across the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svBZjHJLMo0
