3.The Gaul – Beak – from the whining winding violins on, Beak are back with their bizarrely catchy weirdness by Portishead boy – Grade: B
4. These Kind Of Iceskates – Joyce Manor – Pop hardcore with an 70s Limey addiction – Grade: B,
5. Run Till Its Dark – Public Enemy – I have spent the past couple of day starting declarative statements with "Survey says…"
6. Shape I Was In – Spider Bags – That opening riff is awesome – Grade: A+
7. Unforgiveable Blackness – Diggy – Diggy gets the question of privilege, not to mention nepotism, out of the way fast – Grade: A-

9. Swinging On A Star – Bing Crosby – yeah, Bing swings or rather sways this word of warning – Grade: A+
