With her first two albums, 2007's Made of Bricks and 2010's My Best Friend Is You, Kate Nash found both mainstream success and a legion of young female fans who snapped her up as their very own post-punk feminist icon. She was a MySpace phenomenon before she even had a record deal - such was the excitement about her debut album that Made of Bricks was released two months ahead of schedule and went straight to No. 1.

The Enemy

Coventry trio The Enemy have been kicking up a storm with their anthemic rock, with a sound somewhat reminiscent of Kasabian or perhaps The Jam. Born out of sessions messing about in their bedrooms, the band were cult heroes before they were even signed. They made their breakthrough on NME's coveted Rock 'N' Roll Riot Tour, and are now appearing on the bill with legends like Oasis, as well as headlining their own high-profile shows.
