Artist of The Week:

Eighties legends Simple Minds are back with a UK tour and a new single - we're pleased to report that they're still flipping brilliant. The pop pioneers have got a back catalogue to rival any stadium-rock band of the modern age, they're STILL one of the best live bands around and their new single Broken Glass Park is absolutely amazing. It's a euphoric blend of the old and the new and we absolutely love it. We thoroughly recommend that you check them out.

We caught the band live in Plymouth and wrote a review of the show for you lovely people - click here!

We adore The 1975. We loved the anthemic Sex from the moment we heard it and we're delighted to see the brilliant Chocolate making a dent in the charts. They're gonna be HUGE.

Coral mainman James Skelly is about to release his debut solo album with his band The Intenders. His solo tracks are fresh, exciting and a real departure from The Coral - we love 'em.

Bastille have had an AMAZING year. They've had a number one album (Bad Blood), a hit single (Pompeii), and they've become one of the UK's most in-demand live bands. We love them!
