Strum it loud and play it proud: The Pierce Kingans deliver gloriously lo-fi bedroom-pop with kitsch charm and zero regard for convention, while Sorry Monks serves up a debut album of jangly guitar and London power-pop brilliance. The Happy Somethings offer rueful, melancholic twee-pop love songs dripping in cynicism, irony and wry hope, and Milk Aisle Gorbachev twists Television Personalities-style cult indie through gloriously no-fi DIY production. Albuquerque's The Directory rounds things out with Left Banke-flavoured jangly psyche-rock and Beatles-pure pop melodies that are nothing short of gold.
