Blue Bendy
The Lexington, October 24
This south London-via-Scunthorpe punk band are a welcome reprieve from the “rock is so boring right now” echo chamber, proving that some gems can still emerge from an electronic-heavy audiosphere. Take heed of Pitchfork’s shining score of eight (the Pitchfork equivalent of a kiss on the lips) for their debut album, So Medieval, and catch them before they’re on the Mercury shortlist.
