The best up-and-coming homegrown acts to look out for over the next 12 months...

Last Survivor

This newly minted group of seasoned songwriters was formed just before lockdown stopped the world in its tracks. Featuring ex-Droid Mick McCallion, and Derry-bred beatsmith and ex-Japanese Popstar Decky Hedrock, the outfit have been earning acclaim thanks to their electrifying fusion of delicious beats and deadly hooks. Steeped in ’80s influences, their recent singles were a love letter to the days of power-suits and shoulder-pads. The likes of the Bowie-inspired ‘Waste Away’ will knock you out faster than a mind blast from Eleven.
