Next Wave: Porridge Radio
Porridge Radio were formed in Brighton in 2015 when they released their debut album Misery Radio. The band’s nucleus is the very charismatic singer, songwriter and lead guitarist Dana Margolin while the other members are keyboardist Georgie Stott, bass guitarist Maddie Ryall and drummer Sam Yardley. This year they have released their second album Every Bad and the first on the new record label Secretly Canadian. The album is certainly going to make it to our year end list as it has a perfect balance between good song writing, sound production and vocals. It tenders to get loud and burst out yet it remains emotional and melancholic. It has been promoted by the series of singles including “Don’t Ask Me Twice” and their latest “Circling”, released in March.

The Killers premiered the second video for the song "My Own Soul's Warning" which premiered on August 20th on YouTube. Their brand new studio album Imploding the Mirage was officially released a day after. This new video for My Own Soul's Warning was directed by Michael Hill.
Instant Hit: Katy Gray - Hold Me Tight
"Hold Me Tight" was released by Katy Gray in 1985 and there is quite a veil of mystery to the singer's identity and rumours that claim that she was tragically killed by a disco ball in 1987. The lady on the cover artwork is believed to be Monica Stucci. Katy Gray never released another single and this certainly remains as an italo-disco tune of the highest calibre.
