[LISTEN] - Pana Waves - Skins

Birmingham-based foursome Pana Waves have just released their debut EP in time for Christmas, and it's a bit of a gem.

Titular track Skins is the pick of the bunch, an upbeat and bouncy tune hides the stark and depressingly real lyricism beneath, which outs it as quintessentially British indie-pop. It's as light and refreshing as a spring morning, with singer Cai Mahon's warm vocals, making it the perfect song for a chilled out winter night. It's polished, tight and a superb indie pop song that deserves a bit more recognition.

2016 could be a breakout year for the band, and if they keep producing great music and even improving, they could definitely become a shock hit in the indie scene. Keep your eyes peeled for these boys in the new year.

Shiners are a quartet from London and have labelled themselves as 'Brit-Wave' - but think of it more like Brit-Pop-Revival, not on the same level as Brother, lord no, they're not that annoying! They do sound more like of a Blur and The Heartbreaks supergroup, with some lovely 90's-esque melodies combined with the yelping vocals - summer is here!
