As most of these predictions have been hit and miss over the last few years, I feel I'm entitled to make my own one. The band I'm routing for these days are called Peace.
Ok, before I make an over-elaborate and zealous speech, I'll say this first. Yes, I know the name is awful, if there's anything I can find wrong with them is their atrocious name. I feel that they're either trying to reinvigorate a 60's philosophy (but in rather superficial fashion) or they're materializing a typical Hipster trait of irony. In any case it's not great but moving on.
The first song I heard by this band is off their debut EP: EP Delicious, called 'Bloodshake' a colourful, afro-pop number that screams lead single. It's bouncy, catchy, mellifluous with lush production that ends on a mini epic build up. The song grabs my attention and I was thus curious to hear more. What I find however, was something I truly could not of predicted.
They've got a song called '1998' a cover of Trance song, that's right Trance, which is in my opinion the best song I've heard all year. It's starts fairly slowly and quietly and slightly disorganised yet leads into one of the most powerful build-ups of all time. The result? A finely crafted song that lasts over 10 minutes with so many distinguishable parts that never leads towards boredom or repetition (even the second buildup is essentially the same yet the subtle inclusion of synths give it that extra momentous touch). It's ethereal, human and fundamentally epic (in the truest form of the word).
I would write more but I feel this tangent might go on for too long if I do so I'll leave as it is for the moment. So yeah, Peace in my opinion will be the next leading bands who hopefully will live up to the hype that they've been given (well what I believe).
Therefore everyone should listen to Peace.
