The Naked And Famous

With their breakthrough single 'Young Blood', this New Zealand quintet struck out firmly in the euphori-pop direction previously trodden by Passion Pit or MGMT. Their likeable blend of melodic grunge, shoegazey pop and twisted electronica has made them a shoe-in for dozens of emotionally fraught scenes on American TV shows, meaning you may already have heard a good deal of their music without realising it. Even though we didn't think much of their latest album 'In Rolling Waves', they've got enough uplifting melodies to make their live show a cathartic, feelgood experience.
