Bands who you reckon will be big next year

Doesn't matter if you like them or not.

I'll start off by predicting the obvious, Klaxons.
Fields and Long Blondes should be pretty big too.

This time last year I was pretty spot on by saying Dirty Pretty Things, Boy Kill Boy and The Kooks.



  • Status Quo

    • Sapphire

      Band from Exmouth Devon....Sapphire, best thing Ive heard for years...since radiohead

  • radiohead

    • I should have stated

      new bands.

      • radiohead are new

        this is 1994 isnt it?

        • Apartment

          Not sure what the deal is with them but after seeing them live at the weekend I can see them being huge.

  • next year possible line ups

    before today
    open air stereo
    sasoin
    amber pacific

    • Switches

      will be big too

      • really?

        i'd better kill myself now then.

  • i was a cub scout

    los campesinos, maybe.

    loads of bands deserve to be big, not sure how many actually will be though.

    yeah.

    • The Maccabees

      Bromheads Jacket
      Good Shoes

      Apartment are pants so hopefully not them.

  • ...

    cirKus
    Pr4vd4
    The Je Ne Sais Quoi

  • I couldn't give a monkeys

    Who cares who is big.

    • Good point.

      As long as bands I like have sufficient means to go on producing music, I don't really mind who's successful.

      That said, given I can only access mainstream radio stations at work, it'd be nice to have something half-decent to listen to. And it is nice to see someone who deserves it do well for themselves.

    • nobody 'cares'

      but it's interesting. who cares who wins a football game? nobody in their right mind, but it's interesting to predict.

  • er...

    The Magic Numbers..

    • I hope so.

      The new single's great. And some friends of mine are friends of theirs so that'd be nice.

  • Meatland

    Dino!Soars
    Meatosaurus Rex (Meatland & Dino!Soars side project)

    • this lot...

      battle
      jarvis as a solo artist
      the noisettes
      the cold war kids

  • TOWERS OF LONDON

    • new young pony club

      Simian Mobile Disco
      Deaf Stereo
      Shitdisco

  • Future Of The Left

    well they should be anyway!

    • Frank Turner, Favours For Sailors,

      and 4 or 5 Magicians hopefully.

      • the

        magic numbers,

    • Los Campesinos!

      My Latest Novel

      • Popular Workshop

        Chet
        Infants
        Emmy The Great
        Carina Round

        Dunno about big, but they'll all still be ace.

        • Depends what you mean by big

          Oh No! Oh My! will be bigger than they are currently, and Bolt Action 5 will get the NME's knickers in a twist while they are flogging acts as 'New Rave'.

          I think that the new Arcade Fire album will see them out of the indie ghetto and into the proper mainstream. By which I mean Radio 2 and albums on sale in Sainsbury's.

          • Apartment are not pants

            I think...

            Apartment
            New Rhodes
            The Noiesettes
            The Patty Winters Show
            586

            erm.... er.... more to follow.

          • ooo

            good point about oh no! oh my! that album's great.

  • I Was A Cub Scout

    Los Campesinos!
    Shout Out Out Out
    Oh No! Oh My!
    Late Of The Pier
    The Oxford Collapse

    and some other bands that I can't remember right now.

    • Erm..

      Los Campesinos and cub scout really deseve it. I want Dartz! to do well along with tellison who are great also.

      • I wasn't really into

        Apartment when I went to see them but I reckon they have a tight sound that will make them massive. Hardly groundbreaking but I can see them being huge.

  • The Beatles

    and maybe The Rolling Stones too!

  • i would like to say Apartment too

    but i'm not sure if they've missed the boat or not. they've been slogging at it for a looooong time now and don't *seem* to have got much further.

    they even supported the Killers and it didn't seem to help them.

    • DREDGER

      • Noisettes

        Goodbooks
        Simian Mobile Disco

        • Hmm

          Get Cape
          Fields
          Switches
          The Days
          Ghosts

          hehe.

          • I Was A Cubscout

            Los Campesinos
            Last Gang
            New Rhodes
            The Maccabees
            Strange Death of Liberal England
            The Insect Guide

            I think/hope!

            • FOALS!

              Absentee. Maybe.

              • Pull Tiger Tail

                The Blood Arm, These new puritans (ish)

                • itll be

                  any band with shoes somewhere in the title

                  • 2007 - the year of the shoe

                    2007 - the year of the shoe

                    • Foals

                      yeh and the shoe thing he said^

                      • After hearing lots of them today

                        I'm also gonna say The Noisettes.
                        Supporting Muse isn't gonna harm them.
