Sleigh Bells:
Though they won’t be appearing in the UK at any point this summer, Sleigh Bells are a band to get really excited about. If you didn’t know already, their more or less the rock version of Crystal Castles. Their 2012 release is entitled Reign of Terror and is buzzing with great songs.

The Horrors:
Having won Album of the Year at the NME awards due to what is arguably their best release yet (Skying), The Horrors will no doubt be enjoying a fantastic, yet busy summer in 2012. Appearing this month at the Coachella Festival in California and appearing at major venues and festivals around the US, Europe and South America all summer, The Horrors always bring a jaw dropping set that is an absolute must see extravaganza.

Tribes:
Tribes can be thought of as 'the little band that could'. This year has seen them make huge strides from playing the local Camden scene, to signing to Island Records and releasing their incredible first full length Baby, to recently completing a successful US tour where they appeared at South By Southwest. All of these accomplishments plus a live set chock full of anthems, this summer is bound to be the summer of Tribes.
