Here are the best alt. rock songs you'll hear this week, featuring PJ Harvey, Dream Wife, Sprints and more

Louder Tracks

And now, the end (of the week) is near, and so we face the final curtain... or something. Sorry for being melodramatic, it's been a long week, and it's hot as Satan's ball in this A/C-free country right now.

Anyways, last week, as is now customary, we rounded up eight top tunes from eight alt. rock artists doing it their way, and asked you to vote for your favourite.

Now that the poll has officially closed, we can exclusively reveal that, securing a gloriously ridiculous 97% of the total votes cast - yep, you read correctly - Oklahoma City's Skating Polly simply obliterated the so-called 'competition' to bag that much-coveted Track Of The Week accolade with Send A Priest. File under 'Landslide'.

Respect is also due to Foo Fighters who finished in the silver medal position with the epic The Teacher, and to our bronze medal collective Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, who garnered um, 0.77% of first choice preferences for Open The Door, See What You Find, while their leader was answering 1001 questions about that bloody Oasis 'reunion' everyone keeps banging on about.
