Kingston, Ontario’s quick-rising duo, PS I Love You, are set to unleash their brilliant debut album on April 26th, 2011. The ten-track album titled, 'Meet Me At The Muster Station', is a relentless listen that grips and pulls the listener through just under thirty-minutes of squalling Marshall feedback, searing solos, soaring melodies and rock-steady beats that will surely be considered one of this year’s finest debuts.

A bustling port on the north-east coast of Queensland, home to what seems like half the Australian army, Townville hardly seems like the most fertile ground for a slice of luminous musical beauty. But it's where the seven-strong collective known as The Middle East were born, where some of them live to this day and where they recorded some of their gorgeous album 'I Want That You Are Always Happy'.

The Truth: Chloe Chaidez’s first ever band was called Wild Youth, who played raucous cover versions. So far, so unremarkable. Except that Chloe formed Wild Youth when she was ten, supported the likes of Conor Oberst, Midlake and Band Of Horses, and split the group up at the ripe old age of thirteen. Now Chloe Chaidez is the centrifugal force in LA’s newest underground indie-pop storm troopers Kitten. When her second combo stalked the stages of SXSW and CMJ last year she was already looking at becoming a rock’n’roll veteran at the age of fifteen. We’ve heard of getting your teenage kicks, but surely this is ridiculous?

From the first bars of 'My Body' when the jolting percussion kicks in, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Young The Giant are a seasoned band of musicians advertising their well-honed craft. In actual fact, the California quintet's age range is a mere 20 - 22, and 'My Body' is just their second single. Having already nabbed support slots for Kings Of Leon, The Futureheads and Marina & The Diamonds, as well as landing some mixing sessions at the infamous Electric Lady Studios in New York, it's time Young The Giant made their mark on the UK music scene.
