What They Sound Like: So you’ve showed up to a party and you need something to kick things into gear? Favoured Nations are the type of band that know how to get you in the mood before the party really explodes. Their infectious brand of house tinged dance-pop is jittery and jumpy enough to give you energy to last until the early hours of the morning.

Why You Should Care: Hailing from both Los Angeles and Adelaide this trio are made up of DFA associates Surhan Sidu and James Curd alongside Justice collaborator Morgan Phalen. After last year’s The Blame Game they return with the Amazon EP. The three track release continues their sun-soaked pop goodness. It’s probably time you jump aboard the bandwagon before it really takes off in time for Summer festival season!

You’ll Love It If You Dig: Justice, Two Door Cinema Club, Empire Of The Sun.
