[Dot to Dot Preview] Pulled Apart By Horses

As we've mentioned, the wonderful Dot to Dot Festival will be taking place in three locations over the coming bank holiday weekend in the UK. It will see a flurry of bands take to the stage across the three cities and we're going to give you some recommendations as to who we will most definitely be checking out. It's going to be loud.

First up we have a favourite of ours, Pulled Apart by Horses. The Leeds band have gone from strength to strength since releasing their self-titled debut back in 2010 and then arlier this year they released the stellar follow up, Tough Love. In a live setting these guys just tear the roof off. More energy than a shipment of Red Bull and enough riffs to have your ears ringing for days. 

The band will headline Bristol's Trinity on the 2nd of June, Nottingham's Jongleurs on the Sunday, June 3rd. They'll finally finish up the weekend in Manchester on Monday in Sound Control's Loft. For an idea of what you could be in for, check out a video of them performing "Wolf Hand" live earlier in the month at the top via Noisey. After that, jump over here for more info and to purchase tickets. 

[Listen] Summer Camp - "Always"

After we got to enjoy "Life" a few weeks ago from the London duo Summer Camp, they've now offered up the title track of their forthcoming EP, Always. The EP itself isn't set to drop until the 19th of July via Moshi Moshi so get your Summer Camp fill below nearly 2 months prior to the release. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to hear some more of it before it drops. Maybe...

[Listen] Florence & The Machine - "Spectrum" (Calvin Harris Remix)

UK producer and SKOA favourite Calvin Harris has given Florence & The Machine's Ceremonials track, "Spectrum", the remix treatment and it's the perfect thing to wipe away the Monday blues. Taking the original, the Scot has made it a house jam well worth a few minutes of you day.

[Listen] Big K.R.I.T. - 'Live From The Underground' (Full Album Stream)

[Listen] Childish Gambino - "Black Faces" Feat. Nipsey Hussle

We're all a little hot under the collar, and not just because of this crazy weather in the UK. Donny Glover aka Childish Gambino is set to drop his new mixtape in the very near future and has been offering up some fresh cuts from it at regular intervals. We've already heard the ScHoolboy Q featuring "Unnecessary" along with "We Ain't Them" and "Tell Me" featuring Das Racist's Heems. Today we get another cut, it's called "Black Faces" and features Nipsey Hussle. Check it out below via Hypetrak.

[Listen] Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - "Stronger"

He's young, he's talented and he likes to wear unusual outfits. You can't knock him really. I'm talking about English artist, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Today we get a new cut from him called "Stronger" which is in fact the title tract from his long awaited full-length debut which is set to drop on the 11th of June. Check it out below and get excited for his LP.

[Listen] Azealia Banks - '1991' (EP Stream)

With everyone getting excited for Azealia Banks' new EP 1991 which dropped today in the UK, (tomorrow in the US), yesterday a fan made collection of previews hit the net. Today the good folk at Dynmk have hunted down full versions of the tracks via Tumblr which can be streamed right now! Give "1991" a listen below and hit up Dynmk for the rest.

We can expect even more from Ms. Banks in July when her mixtape Funtastic is released.
