In the third instalment of an exciting new series for Music Scene Wales, ThisIsTheMusic recommends six must listen to tracks from October 2023

October was a great month for the release of new music for the new music British guitar scene and showcased the quality of bands and solo artists on show! It was a tough choice, but here are my six recommendations from October

The Strifes – Dancing in The Wind

Hertfordshire 4 piece The Strifes showed why they are the real deal with their second single Dancing In The Wind that’s full of swagger and 90s bravado. A stomping pace awaits the listener and euphoric guitar riffs. The Strifes are a band that will be impossible to ignore

Megan Wyn – Familiar Faces

2023 continues to be a fantastic year for Welsh solo star Megan Wyn. With her first headline tour earning rave reviews plus radio support from the likes of John Kennedy, Huw Stephens and ThisIsTheMusic, Megan has shown why she is a superstar in the making. Her second single is an incredible anthem full of swagger that packs an almighty punch and continues Megan’s rise to the top of music industry.

Plastic Heart – the giver of stars

Plastic Heart latest single The Giver Of Stars is an energetic powerful and rip roaring rocknroll anthem. With catchy singalong choruses this Mancunian 5 piece are a band to well and truly keep an eye on in 2024!

The 76 Club – Beside Myself

Burton on Trent, 4-piece The 76 Club leave a lasting impression on their 2nd single Beside Myself an energetic, punchy indie rock anthem with an irresistible vocal that oozes class.

Crook on The Wall – Imperial Mind

Manchester new boys, Crook On The Wall, released their highly accomplished debut, and have already amassed over 3k Spotify streams. Imperial Minds is spine tingling debut that features a powerful vocal, thought provoking lyrics that bring a different vibe to the indie scene

The Ritz – Give Me A Sign

Epic, euphoric second single, Give Me A Sign, from Burton on Trent 4-piece The Ritz is one of the most energetic displays of rocknroll you’re likely to hear this year. With tunes like this The Ritz are a band ready to rise up the indie scene ladder

Thanks
