The Young and the Restless: New Device, Poppy and the Jezebels, Young Guns

Right, let's ignore the fact I called yesterday's post Tuesday tracks when it was clearly Wednesday, we'll call that an oversight and get onto todays music, from three young, up and coming bands who really need to be heard.


First up are New Device, a straight up rock band from South East England who formed in London in 2007. They've steadily built up a following around the UK, and recently blew joint headliners Heaven's Basement and Dear Superstar clean off the stage on a UK tour. Their debut album, "Takin' Over" is available now, and you can test out a couple of tracks below. Make sure you buy the record.

New Device - In the Fading Light
New Device - Takin' Over



Secondly today are Birmingham's Poppy and the Jezebels. Four teenage girls who met at school in 2005/6 and have formed a quirky, effervescent girl band all of their own. A string of singles and a fantastic EP already under their belts, the girls release their debut album later this year. Check out the tracks below before taking a look into their back catalogue.

Poppy and the Jezebels - Frank Chevallier
Poppy and the Jezebels - Rhubarb and Custard (Live Almost Acoustic)



Finally today are High Wycombe's Young Guns. Fresh from supporting Lostprophets around the UK, they're currently touring on the Kerrang Relentless Energy Drink tour and by all accounts tearing the tour up. Their debut EP "Mirrors" was a minor iTunes hit last summer, and they have another EP scheduled for this summer. Make sure to check out the two tracks here.

Young Guns - The Weight of the World
Young Guns - Winter Kiss
