5 pop artists to watch 2017 ajr, starley,

Summer is officially here, which means:

  • Brits will turn the shade of thoroughly broiled lobsters
  • Festivals will be provided with a monsoon or three free of charge
  • A mandatory roadtrip playlist has to be made – y’know, on the off chance the BBC weather team finally join forces with Mystic Meg and manage to accurately predict sunshine

If that last option sounds like the most likely (and let’s be honest, why wouldn’t it?!), One Stop Record Shop has your roadtrip playlist sorted. We’ve hand selected the very best indie/rock anthems from our dungeon of new releases and sprinkled them with a handful of classics. Blending them together like some kind of musical super-smoothie, this playlist is trustier than a satnav voiced by Morgan Freeman.

Featuring a host of great music from class acts including Twin Wild, Counting Crows, Circa Waves, Royal Blood, The Killers, HAUS, Queens Of The Stone Age and much, much more, there’s really no reason not to hit subscribe. Check it out below and stay tuned for more updates in the weeks ahead!
