1. The 2 Bears – ‘Not This Time’
With every release Joe Goddard shows he has the smarts but thus far, his project with Raf Rundell was either great or a bit cheesy as it hopped from genre to genre in search of something elusive. But the new single ‘Not This Time’, from the second album The Night Is Young, out October 13th is some considerable, repeatable pop smarts. The pair are also playing Playing Opium Rooms on Sunday November 1st.
