Bands to watch – The Shimmer
When two of my favourite blogs (namely Illegal Tender and Fucking Dance) start singing the praises of a new duo, only a fool would ignore it. And the band they have been talking about? The Shimmer.

As hard as I try, I can’t pigeon-hole these two into any genre at all – all I can say is that whatever style you call it – it is pop perfection and catchy as fuck.
Their first single is due to drop in a few months on the consistently impressive Hit Club.
