The Maccabees - Pelican
Many are predicting that 2012 will be the year that The Maccabees officially make their move up into the big league, and the band themselves have said that they've finally found their own sound. New single 'Pelican' (to be followed by third album 'Given To The Wild' next week) hints that they might just do it. Already gaining them some major radio play it builds to become one of their best tracks to date.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - The Absent
The typically bright and cheerful guys from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have given us a free holiday treat in the shape of 'The Absent'. Festive it's certainly not, rather good it certainly is. It comes with this message from the band: "Sorry it's not a super happy song, we don't mean to be downers. Happy Whatever Day you like to call it. Peace, love and all that stuff from us."

Shearwater - Animal Life
One of the albums we're most looking forward to this year is the new one from Texans Shearwater, which will be with as in February. They've kindly given us a preview of things to expect with new track 'Animal Life' which is suitably grand, starting humbly before building to become 'quite something', resulting in the first OROTW of the year. If you liked 2010's stunning 'Castaways' then this track will be right up your street.
