Here are three cracking reasons to turn the volume all the way up to 11 on your stereo and blast these into your neighbourhood.

First up is The Men with the title track to their forthcoming album Open Your Heart – this has more than an echo of the Buzzcocks classic Ever Fallen In Love as they submerge an almost-pop riff beneath dissonant, strident guitar hooks and breakdowns.

Next is thrash-pop duo DZ Deathrays and their new single No Sleep, which comes from their soon-to-be-released debut album. A needle sharp riff, brutal guitar and a Beastie Boys style chorus. What’s not to like?

Lastly we have All The Saints, self-styled shoegaze champions of Atlanta. Half Red, Half Way is the taster from their forthcoming album and is all anxious, propulsive rumble before it implodes with a cacophony of guitar squall that is nothing short of sublime.
