The Playlist: Pond / The Orwells / Splashh / Cuz / Filthy Boy / Loom Pond Midnight Mass A standout track from the Australian band's new album 'Hobo Rocket', Midnight Mass sees Pond ease off the Led Zep-style guitar antics and settle into a Beatlesy piano ballad. The Orwells Who Needs You Fresh out of high school, the Chicago garage rock five-piece are one of the best bands to emerge from the US in years. This Dave Sitek-produced single only serves to confirm that fact. Splashh All I Wanna Do The release of their forthcoming debut album 'Comfort' feels like a good time to dust off the Anglo-Antipodean band's best single to date. Cuz So Tired Two minutes of fuzzy, hook-laden indie punk with the swagger of early Strokes or Black Lips. Fans of Parquet Courts and the aforementioned Orwells will love it. Filthy Boy That Life Dark, witty lyrics set over a waltz beat; Filthy Boy continue to explore the territory between Nick Cave and The Smiths. Loom No Control Rounding off a week of top guitar bands, from new punk label HateHateHate.
