The band name may give it away, but Leeds rockers Weirds are not normal. The four-piece, who define their sound as "sludgey, amphibious rock" are a thrilling combination of big rocking riffs and almost mystical, but totally cool psychedelia.

As a brass player myself we've had a sad lack of ska music thus far on this site, so it gives me great pleasure to introduce Bradford-based Analog Bombs. The six-piece aren't quite your standard ska rockers, fusing indie rock with their eclectic trombone and organ sound. It's hugely enjoyable, easy to listen to and infectiously catchy...
