The Vaccines
Who: We’re struggling to think of a band who have been hyped up and talked about as much as London four-piece The Vaccines this year, and not without good reason. Their super-catchy blend of NY indie drone and Ramones-esque punkish structures has already caught the attentions of Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe and Jo Whiley, as well as landing them in Critics Choice lists across the industry.
Hear them next: Their debut album What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? will be out on 21st March 2011

Warpaint
Who: Sassy, cool, talented, stylish – if ever there was a girlband to be envious of, Warpaint are it. The edgy art-rock four-piece from LA have graced the pages of everything from Vogue to the NME, as well as appearing in the BBC Sound Of 2011 awards listings. These ladies were born to be icons, so start taking notes now.
Hear them next: You can pick up a copy of their debut album, The Fool, now.
Website:www.myspace.com
Yasmin
Who: She might be recognised as one of hip hop’s most exciting young DJs, but now Yasmin is ready to take on the rest of the music world as she embarks on her career as a singer/songwriter this month. Having already toured alongside will.i.am, Tao Cruz and Pharell Williams, we reckon there are big things to come for this British star, who’s unique take on urban pop music is bound to shake things up in 2011.
Hear her next: Yasmin's debut single, On My Own, is out 30th January.
Website:www.yasminsworld.co.uk
The Heartbreaks
Who: Libertines frontman Carl Barat has described them as ‘the finest support band’ he’s ever played with, and with an arsenal of hazy, guitar-driven Brit-pop anthems at their disposal, our money’s on them to be the sound of our summers this year. They’re rather easy on the eye, too…which never hurts, does it?
Hear them next: Their debut album is set for release early this year.
Website:www.myspace.com
The Naked And Famous
Who: Call us strange, but we swear there’s a touch of Glee enthusiasm about the up-beat synth-driven pop tunes New Zealand five-piece The Naked And Famous have been dolling out like bags of sweets recently. They tick every 2011 box we can think of – electro, slightly kooky and downright euphoric – so we’ll eat our fedoras if they’re not huge come December.
Hear them next: The Naked And Famous will be releasing their debut album in the UK early this year. They’re also doing the rounds on the current Radio 1 playlist.

Clare Maguire
Who: Jay-Z said he could tell who was going to become a star by looking into their eyes and guess what he was doing when he had a heart-to-heart with Brummie pop singer Clare Maguire? LOOKING INTO HER EYES. Can the big man himself really be wrong? She’s already been featured in the BBC Sound Of 2011 listings, toured with Plan B and Hurts, and recorded a song with The Streets’ Mike Skinner. This is one future pop princess we’ll be keeping an eye on…
Hear her next: Clare’s debut album Light After Dark is set for release on 28th February 2011
Website:www.claremaguire.co.uk
Anna Calvi
Who: For the thinking ladies among us, Anna Calvi’s darkly emotive acoustic singer/songwriter style will definitely give us something to stew over this year. If you love PJ Harvey, this is most definitely one for you. Calvi’s famous fans already include Brian Eno and Nick Cave - now she can add GLAMOUR.COM onto the list.
Hear her next: Anna’s self-titled debut is available to buy now
Website:www.annacalvi.com
Brother
Who: Hmmm…something about this swaggering Slough four piece reminds us of a loud, brash, Mancunian band Brit-Pop lovers worshipped to near idolatry proportions in the 90s (no prizes for guessing who). Will Brother demand the same appreciation almost 20 years on? If their retrospective, blunt ‘Grit-Pop’ formula is anything to go by, we’d say so.
Hear them next: Catch Brother on tour this Spring
Website:www.acidlove.net
Noah And The Whale
Who: Who would have thought that folk would become as fashionable as it did? Albeit with a slightly jauntier, strum-and-roll fringe to it, Twickenham four-piece Noah And The Whale continue their lollop towards indie-folk stardom throughout 2011, adding a touch of light and warmth to what has been, in essence, a fairly depressive revival.
Hear them next: The band are set to release a new album Last Night On Earth on the 7th March
Website:www.noahandthewhale.com

Jessie J
Who: Chances are, you’ve already heard Jessie J’s debut single Do It Like A Dude blasting out of the radio, TV, computer – everywhere. But don’t think that’s all you’ll see of this edgy Essex pop singer. She’s already claimed the BBC Sound Of 2011 poll, bagged the Critics Choice gong at the Brits and been labelled as “the best singer in the world” by GLAMOUR.COM favourite, Justin Timberlake. We’re almost certain she’ll be a sought-after star by the end of the year.
Hear them next: Her eclectic debut album is set for release in July 2011
Website:www.myspace.com
Gypsy And The Cat
Who: Need a heady blast of power pop to rouse you from your January slumber? It’s always summer in Aussie duo Gypsy And The Cat’s musical world, which is why, come rain or shine, we guarantee they’re super-catchy, 70s-inspired tunes are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Think modern-day Toto and you’re half-way there.
Hear them next: The boys will release their next single, Time To Wander, on 21st June 2011.
Website: <a href=”http://www.myspace.com/gypsyandthecat" target="_new">www.myspace.com</a>
Big Deal
Who: If you’re after some serious head space, Big Deal’s woozy, minimal acoustic drawl might just be the breath of fresh air your record collection needs this year. The uber-cool London two-piece formed from the ashes of their previous band, Big Star. And yes, we predict they will achieve their namesake in their current incarnation.
Hear them next: Hop on over to their Myspace page now and have a listen!
Website:www.myspace.com
Grouplove
Who: Another seriously cool band winging their way across the Atlantic from the sunny shores of Los Angeles. Grouplove have won us, the NME, and just about everyone else over with their angsty surf-and-roll indie punk.Will they win you over too? More than likely.
Hear them next: The band are set to tour the UK in Europe. Check their Myspace page for details.

James Blake
Who: It’s always nice when, far from the usual commercially-viable pop fodder that features in the majority of Critics Choice listings, something a little bit different gets the recognition it deserves. James Blake quickly made his name on the dub step scene, becoming known for his minimalist, experimental, yet devastatingly emotive take on the genre. His raw talent has already earned him second place (just behind Jessie J) in the BBC Sound Of 2011 awards, and he’s up for a Critics Choice at the Brits, too.
Hear them next: James’ self-titled new album will be out on 7th February 2011
Website:www.myspace.com
Niki And The Dove
Who: Quirky Scandinavian three-piece Niki And The Dove definitely fit our musical forecast for 2011 – the kookier the better, preferably with a tinge of sadness and a hefty whack of electro-pop. We’re particularly loving euphoric anthem DJ Ease My Mind and Mother Project. Kind of like The Knife, were they in fact to be the Swedish entry in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
Hear them next: Get Niki And The Dove singles now on iTunes
