Jake Bugg + Syd Arthur

Though Noel Gallagher helped launch Jake Bugg to U.K. fame early in his career, the Oasis leadman recently retracted his seal of approval after learning that the British whippersnapper used co-writers on his latest album, On My One. But Oasis cosign or not, the new songs undoubtedly carve a striking presence, ranging from delta blues twang ("On My One") to driving dance frenzy ("Gimme The Love").
