Pinstripe - From Somerset to stadiums?
Take a look at the hotly-tipped West Country foursome here on inthenews.co.uk.
This is epic, synth-driven indie pop that demands you dance to the radio as the Somerset four-piece's self-professed influences of U2, Coldplay and Snow Patrol shine through beautifully-produced slices of bittersweet singalong.
The Shepton Mallet quartet only formed in 2005 but have performed at Glastonbury, enjoyed airplay from the likes of XFM, 6Music and BBC Radio 1's Steve Lamacq, as well as making a bid for transatlantic success with showcase slots at the prestigious SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
Take a look below at why these West Country boys could be the next big thing in British indie.
Oh, and be prepared for your illusions of the band's maturity to be shattered when you see their teenage faces in the below videos. Yes, they're that kind of annoyingly-talented, ludicrously young band that make you feel very, very old.
