The city that never sleeps also never stops making music. Aware Wolf are a New York duo who have just put out their self-made debut EP as a free download on Bandcamp. It's a trio of top lo-fi indie-rock tunes and really you can't go wrong with any of them. But we're singling out 'Top O' Da Hive' for having an extra-specially catchy chorus.

Ladyhawk - No Can Do
And it was all going so well until some chick from New Zealand comes along and adds an 'e' to the end of your band name and goes on to achieve greater fame. Canadian alt-rock band Ladyhawk will forever be confused with Pip Brown's alias now, but let's hope it doesn't detract from their own very fine music. They use guitars more than synths so stylistically there's little similarity. Here's single 'No Can Do'.

Love and Radiation - Ganymede
You can't get out of bed without falling over a synth-pop duo at the moment. They're like plagues of locusts taking over the world. Which would be great if they were all as good as Chicago pair Love and Radiation, but they're not. The good thing for lovers of these sounds done properly is that the duo are giving away the dreamy and poptastic new single 'Ganymede' for free so we can bask in its dark charms.

The Young Things - All Human Life
Yep, looks like we've got ourselves another indie-rock band from New York. This lot are called The Young Things and have been together just over a year. They're on a mission to create some garage/rock/indie/pop sounds, something that looks straightforward on paper but as you'll be aware there's a lot of awful bands out there doing that. The Young Things are one of the good ones, here's 'All Human Life'.
