Peace
You Don’t Walk Away From Love (Ignition)
Peace’s new one comes with a hacksaw guitar riff and drums that’ll rattle your window frames. New LP Kindness Is The New Rock And Roll drops May 4.

The Weeknd
Call Out My Name (XO/Republic Records)
Each track on The Weeknd’s new
mini-album My Dear Melancholy is as dark, sad and awesome as the next. This is a great place to start, though.

Drake
Nice For What (Cash Money/Republic)
Content with the seismic impact made by God’s Plan, Drake chucks another single into the world. Chart compilers, be warned…

Haggard Cat
Bad News (Travels Fast) (Earache)
Also travelling fast is hype about killer bands like garage rock duo Haggard Cat (formerly of hardcore maniacs Heck). Check out their trippy videos, too.

Mellah
Paseo (Columbia)
The lead single from South London multi-instrumentalist Liam Ramsden’s upcoming Middle England EP is a pleasingly skew-whiff pop oddity.

Ms Banks (feat. Loski)
RIP (Kobalt)
Ms Banks links up with fellow South Londoner Loski on a track that pulls no punches whatsoever. “They ain’t fuckin’ with me,” Banks spits. Quite.
