Daughter
Like yesterday, another wonderful trio led by a female vocalist.
Daughter hail from London. Not To Disappear, due shortly, will be their 2nd.
“Numbers”, the new single, is gorgeous.
“Numbers”
Winter in Toronto
These two guys are from London but they call themselves Winter in Toronto.
This lovely song “Walking in the Air” is from the It’s Coming On Christmas album with all proceeds benefiting CoppaFeel!, a charity that champions breast cancer awareness, educating young people on the importance of checking their boobs regularly and knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

On the Road
Jonathan L is in London and I am still wandering through Italy so no posts from either of us for a couple of weeks.
Stay tuned…
Veronica Falls
We first heard from Veronica Falls, the London-based band in 2011.
They have just released their 2nd album Waiting for Something to Happen.
Veronica Falls continue with their charming indie pop heard here in the single “Teenage”.
Savages
Savages consists of 4 women from London.
From their website:
SAVAGES MANIFESTO #1
SAVAGES’ INTENTION IS TO CREATE A SOUND, INDESTRUCTIBLE, MUSICALLY SOLID, WRITTEN FOR THE STAGE AND DESIGNED WITH ENOUGH NUANCES TO PROVIDE A WIDE RANGE OF EMOTIONS. SAVAGES ARE A SELF-AFFIRMING VOICE TO HELP EXPERIENCE OUR GIRLFRIENDS DIFFERENTLY, OUR HUSBANDS, OUR JOBS, OUR EROTIC LIFE, AND THE PLACE MUSIC OCCUPIES INTO OUR LIVES. SAVAGES’ SONGS AIM TO REMIND US THAT HUMAN BEINGS HAVEN’T EVOLVED SO MUCH, THAT MUSIC CAN STILL BE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, EFFICIENT AND EXCITING.
Their intense debut album, Silence Yourself, comes out today.
Listen to the power of “She Will”.
