The Christmas DiScussion: who are you tipping for 2007?

by Mike Diver

Hey, you! Chew that turkey properly and then give us a hand. We want to know about your tips for 2007.

That’s right, folks: one year may be over, but a new one is just about to begin. And when it does, we’re going to have seventeen skip-loads of brand new bands to talk about. Excited? C’mon, we’re sweating liquid expectation here.

Among DiS’s ‘tips’, if you will, for 2007 are, without a doubt, Foals, Jamie T (who will finally release the album we’ve been waiting for), Los Campesinos! (pictured), The Maccabees and I Was A Cub Scout. Expect full-blown previews of what these acts have to offer in 2007, and more, in January.

For now, though, we want to know what you’re looking forward to on the new bands front. Is an act making waves in your neighbourhood and seems certain to find a much bigger audience in ’07? Is there a band you’ve been following for ages that’s about to make good over the next twelve months? Are there any albums in particular, from artists old or new, that are sure to hover near the top of end-of-’07 lists? Be sure to include links. Share the love!

As aforementioned, we'll be previewing our tips for 2007 just as soon as our Christmas pudding goes down properly. Look forward to that. In the meantime… DiScuss



apart from the obvious

jamie t, maccabees etc

Confined Space

http€://www.myspace.com/confinedspace2006


Lots...

Tiger MCs
Open Mouth
Foals


fields


And

Findlay Brown


well

...after succsessful support tours this year with The Walkmen, British Sea Power and The Pipettes, plus their debut album out in feb...i tip the mighty ACTRESS HANDS

plus, despite being cruely ignored by most this year SUBURBAN KIDS WITH BIBLICAL NAMES


O Fracas

vessels
Safetyword
Quack Quack


.

I like Foals alot but cant see them having much success. Im loving ox.eagle.lion.man and kissing cousins


Try as I might

As I few female friends like em; I can't get into The Pippetes (sound like the Sheila's Wheels ad). Although I realise you weren't tipping them :-)


oo yes

having seen actress hands support ESP i can say they produce an uncanningly (is that a word?) entertaining show. although sadly i don't reckon they will ever be appreciated by the masses. :(


Lone Lady

Lazarus Clamp and Former Utopia should all do well


London twats....

Meet Me In St. Louis - new At The Drive In
Winter Kids - New Killers
Furthest Drive Home - New Fall Out Boy

Vive la Surrey/Hants border..... invasion!


kubichek

^


If Meet me In St Louis break through...

...I will be VERY HAPPY.


i bloody well

hope they do too. they deserve it!
top band.


pull tiger tail

they seem to know whats what


mine:

The Strange Death of Liberal England
Rival Joustas
Xerox Teens

also, the pirate ship quintet might get some critical acclaim...


my tip's for the top for in 2007

Land of Talk
Van She
Shy Child

you heard it here first!


oh and the

Cold War Kids too...


hmmm, reckon they will be pretty huge that band

...These New Puritans and The Violets should do well this year too.

Think Foals will turn the indie hipsters heads but can't see how this'll translate into sales...


Reckon

Have you seen the ace tiger masks that band have had made? That always sways me!


Pull Tier Tail that is

not These New Puritans etc...


el-p

has a new album coming - considering the collective amazingness of cannibal ox, company flow, his solo stuff and all the other bits and bobs of production he's done, plus *that* rap on We're Famous, i am mightily excited about that.

Also hoping for some more Let Our Enemies Beware and You Judas...


Indigo Moss

Pete and the Pirates
It Hugs Back


New You Judas

album out in February!
YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!


future of the left

they will be the only thing i listen to for 90% of 2007...


We are the Physics

Danananyckroyd.

Almost makes me wish I lived in the North.


you going to the show?

100 club. nice.


The Twang

are on fire!


metronomy!

Gotta love those odd dance moves.

And Fujiya & Mijagi - saw a thread on another part of the board which reminded me how good this lot are


Oppenheimer/Desert Hearts

And the Shins to become the new Killers. More's the fuckin' pity


Yndi Halda

Hijera
Dead Dead Dead
Rival Joustas
Frank Turner
Adele
1990s (unfortuantly)


Indeed...

>>Hijera

These. Awesome.


.

theses....

adam patrick
laura groves


Tipping...

Gubernaculum
Harris Tweed
The Clams


...

new Arts & Crafts signing Young Galaxy will make it.
French band This is pop.
And I really hope that Last Harbour new album will make them much well known.


some tips

Real Ones - Lovely, folky Bergen pop
Findlay Brown - Great singer-songwriter
Laura Marling - Jamie T's lass? Great voice
Shady Bard - Great ephemeral tunes
Windmill - It'll be one of your album's of the year!
Pilote - He's back, great lo-fi tracks akin to Ivor Cutler
Answering Machine - New skinny boy heroes..


I reckon

The Horrors will make good on their early retro garage-punk vibe promise. *That* video will certainly keep helping.

Fields will continue to grow bigger and bigger (can't wait for their first full album)

and if there's any justice in the world, there will be a full album of covers released by mr_hopkinson's computer.


hmm

Fields and Cold War Kids are obvious choices, but I Was A Cub Scout are shockingly terrible


Tinseltown

To echo Zain Lowe and what he said on the gonzo christmas special

Tinseltown

"Their good"


These wil rock you next year...

Field Music - Tones of Town
Deerhoof - Friend Opportunity
Hella - Theres no 666 in Outer Space
Trans Am - Sex Change

And obviously the new Les Savy Fav, MF Doom, Shellac, Big Business are gonna fucking rock harder than most!


Tones of Town

is one fine record


bands for 07

Fields
Talk Taxis
Captain Lovely
Electriq Mistress

...look out for this lot


My bets would be on..

New Homes
The Wombats
Foals
The Strange Death Of Liberal England (this would be good)
Youngplan
Farewell Finito
Fox N Wolf

Patrick Wolf's new album getting the respect it deserves would be great.

Also Emmy The Great to finally release Edward Is Deadward would make my year.


P.S

The NME not making up any new genres especially for Foals would do everyone a favour in 2007 too.


foals and then some...

Foals (obviously), Shrag, Die Princess Die & The Hold Steady all deserve a good year in 2007. So does ex-Million Dead singer Frank Turner with his solo stuff.


I reckon....

Someone Still Loves You,Boris Yeltsin
Oh No! Oh My! and
The Pink Spiders
Maybe not HUUUUUUUGE but i reckon they will all make some waves over here soon.


True Adventures

They're good and the brains behind it is a mate.

After that I could care less. I haven't heard anyone to get excited about yet.


best for 2007

The Bavarian Druglords

They're from New York and the first time I heard them I nearly fell over trying to find out who was playing at the club. Sound stuff really.


Reverand & the Makers.

Yet another band from Sheffield.
In the studio at the mo.
Not quite my cup of tea,but I expect them to do really well.


bands I hope will be

big, er, whatever that means, in 2007

The Bridge Gang
Future Of The Left
Sky Larkin
The Hussy's
Wild Beasts


anyone heard of...

Blah Blah Blah

www.myspace.com/blahblahblahandfriends

They're my tip for 2007


almost forgot

Jack Penate, Adele, Jamie Woon, Palladium and The Magic,
though I dunno how suitable they all are for the DiS boards...


Ohbijou

Arcade Fire for ladies.

Rock ladies.


Hold Steady

Can't get enough of this lot right now.


Air

Traffic.


i reckon

the scare, cold war kids, calvin harris, tiny dancers, the twang, jakobinarina, dead disco, findlay brown, the enemy, dananananakroyd, pull tiger tail...


.

Rolo Tomassi will be massive.

Sika Redeem should be massive.


My ..

bartender


Jamie Woon is a cool guy

but Sonic Dragolgo will be big if there is ANY justice.

(NB. Justice unlikely).


Hmmm...

The KBC
Kowalski
Pull Tiger Tail
Superkings

Particually The KBC.


Has anyone else heard

of this band called 'the beatles'.

the released a pretty cool album last year called 'love'. they are kinda of doing an Oasis/Kasabian type thing, only better (in my opinion).

anyway they are my tip for 2007, along with these new puritans and wild beasts.


Stars of the 'shire

Ras Militia & Magic Skool Bus, the latter creating some interest over the water.


I'm clairvoyant...

The Maccabees
[amen]

The Pigeon Detectives
[because Matt has the coolest hair and they rocked my favourite, now deceased, venue. And. They. Have. The. Best. Name. Ever.]

Dustin's Bar Mitzvah
[they truly have the courage to be drunken bafoons and the best version I have ever heard of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Period.]

Little Man Tate
[top blokes - free gig - and they make the crowds go wild]

Air Traffic
["Just Abuse Me"]

Over and Out.


BATTLE

The Bridge Gang, Jamie T, Elle Milano, Good Shoes and the Answering Machine are my top Picks.


1984

said it before, I'll say it again. Hopefully they'll get some recognition this year


hell yeah

Battle are splendid.
Had the pleasure of seeing them last year only wasn't too happy with the fact they played out the set with "Children."
Other than that - cool band.


Dragon City will be signed.

Get their debut album now if you like music-transcendent. http://www.myspace.com/dragoncity


hmmm

enter shikari, crystal castles, css, kids in glass houses, shiny toy guns, uffie.... . .
will probably go to sleep and wake up remembering a hundred more


oohh yeah

erm

tinsel town, bono must die, hadouken (eugh they're driving me nuts but everyone's obsessed), calvin harris, metronomy, blah blah blase, mstrkrft, sky larkin, black wire, winterkids, patrick wolf....


tipping the underdogs

future corpses
future of the left
blackball false! truth

Ass Now, Womb, Alter

Assembly Now
The Wombats
Alterkicks
