Drowned In Sound
Reaffirmed the belief that classic songwriting and traditional four-piece guitar bands aren't necessarily relics of the past and with it, conjured up arguably the strongest debut album of 2011

Bowlegs
Manages to maintain an almost ramshackle quality throughout; the 80s indie vibe is a clear influence heard within the jangling guitars and the harmonious girl/boy vocals
