To Kill a King - Bloody Shirt

The iTunes 'single of the week' download are more often than not relatively bland - the kinds of tracks you'll entertain for one listen and then consign to the back of your hard-drive. After all, who wants to give their best tracks away as a free download?

To Kill a King's Bloody Shirt is a real gem though - a rich, darkly regal kind of Mumford & Sons number. Indie-folk-pop with substance, if you will. It's an intoxicating blend, a swirling pot of blackest chocolate and coffee; pretty much irresistible.

Treetop Flyers - Things Will Change

Following on from their 2009 release To Bury The Past, London five-piece Treetop Flyers are already turning heads with their latest single Things Will Change (more of an EP really, the single comes with three other tracks).

Mining deep into the vein of folk-rock Mumford & Sons and their ilk have made so popular of late, Treetop Flyers present a far more rootsy take. There's a jubilous, rough-n'-tumble feel to their tracks that gives it that more carefree edge.

Imagine a softer, more melodious Kings Of Leon - the kind of music that feels absolutely perfect for summer road trips and the festival season.

Indeed, you can catch them at the Hop Farm Festival next month, among others.

Things Will Change is available to download from iTunes now.
