5. People, Places, Maps
Favourite track: Splinter Hailing from Dunfermline in my home country of Scotland, PPM are a very solid Indie group that write songs with a maturity that belies their years. The lead vocalist Ryan McGlone sings in his native Scottish accent which is something I personally love to hear. They play with three lead guitars, meaning that they can piledrive your eardrums whenever the mood takes them but the guys are savvy enough to know that this is always the best route. Their first album's title track 'The Distance Tricked Us' builds slowly into something really special while 'I Get So Cold I Get Nervous' is a fantastically sweet, slow track that will grab your heart almost immediately. Incredibly catchy pop tunes mixed with easily singable lyrics, People Places Maps are not to be ignored.
