Release date: June 8
Victoria Hesketh, aka Little Boots, was on everybody's Ones To Watch list at the end of last year. The proof of the pudding will be when debut album, Hands, hits the virtual shelves on June 8. Victoria herself is candid about her lack of pretention, telling Access Hollywood, "I wanted to make a pop record. I don’t care about being cool or edgy. I wanna reach people and I wanna make music that people have fun to and have a good time." Amen to that.
7. June's Big Albums - Steel Panther - Feel The Steel
Release date: June 8
Waddya mean you've never heard of Steel Panther? They're '80s glam-metal legends! OK, they're not but they do a very good and extremely funny impression of one. Comparisons with The Darkness are inevitable (Justin Hawkins has appeared on stage with them) and, like that band, the joke might wear thin after one album. But for now, lighten up and feel the steel, dude. God knows we could all do with a laugh at the moment.
8. June's Big Albums - Enter Shikari - Common Dreads
Release date: June 15
The second album from the St. Albans post-hardcore outfit is an 18-track monster which fuses their trance and metal influences more seamlessly than their debut. With Fanfare For The Conscious Man taking a vicious swipe at Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and the Queen, it looks like Gallows have a run for their money in the 'angriest band in the country' stakes.
