Shuffle Live (Sheffield) - 08/03

29th Feb 2008

It’s another stellar line-up for the Plug Bods. Week after week they’ve managed to balance the local with the national, showcasing not only the finest musicians and artist making Sheffield and the rest of Yorkshire pop their eyes out in disbelief, but also the nation as well. This month there’s some sharp and focused wry song writing, youthful dancefloor abandon, and rousing anthem belting from a glittering cast of future heroes and stars in the making.  
 
Top of the tree are London sensations XXTeens. Signed to legendary label Mute recordings, the group have already caused one hell of a stir with their moving music. Zane Lowe and XFM’s Jon Kennedy are already certified members of the fan club, the latter proclaiming his delight that ‘the boys wry humour hasn’t been lost as they get increasingly embraced by the mainstream’. That comment came as an enthusiastic eulogy to latest single ‘How to reduce the Chance of being a Terror Victim’, which following on from the successes of ‘Onkarawa’ and ‘Darlin’ looks set to continue their rapid rising trajectory to the top of the music business tree. www.myspace.com/xxteens
 
Following on are the equally revered Cazals, whose hotter than hot star has seen them ink a deal with cooler than thou label Kitsune, featuring recently on their bang up to date compilation. Their devilishly fun synth pop is the stuff of dreams, bubblegum melodies awash with stabby electro musings with a swooning vocal arrangement to make girls scream. Teenage Kicks for the Computer age, it’s little wonder that they’ve already garnered praise form all the right places, and that NME’s Hamish McBain has dubbed them "Just one of the most forward thinking British guitar bands today". www.myspace.com/cazalsuk  
 
The final act are local heroes North of Watford, whose band name takes a cunning pun to their preponderance of operating within the Northern sphere of Britain. Only active for four months, already the group have secured a burgeoning fan base on account of their wide-ranging songs, pining about love melancholically just as rapidly as they stomp their feet and whip up the floor. www.myspace.com/northofwatford
