Yard Act - The Overload (2022)
Wonderful debut from another Smith-led collective from Leeds. James Smith certainly sounds like a young, slightly less vitriolic Mark E Smith.

Stereo MC's - Connected (1992)
Despite an erroneous apostrophe, the Stereo MC’s produced this stunner absolutely full to the brim with funky rap-infused belters. While the track “Connected” is the best known song, there are 12 other tracks equally as addictive.

The Spinanes - Manos (1993)
Chicago two piece, Rebecca Gates, guitar and vocals, and Scott Plouf, on drums, make such a wonderful racket together. While it’s inherently a narrow soundstage, the chemistry and synchronicity between the duo is palpable.

Cabaret Voltaire - The Crackdown (1983)
This really was the “band” that shocked me out of any lethargy following the mid-70s/early-80s punk/post-punk correction. This is the epitome of no-wave.
