I honestly strongly urge you to catch up with Florence and the Machine. I interned at her US label and got to listen to her music and that chick can fucking SING! But also, her ability to write a fun, catchy song is amazing – and she does really amazing covers. Basically she’s totally crazy but a really amazing artist – I’d urge you to pick up Kiss With A Fist and her new single Dog Days Are Over. Also Mumford and Sons get my huge approval. Little Boots too. Lady GaGa? Um, not so much.
