Ten Bands You Should See at Glastonbury Part Three

7. We Are Scientists
Where? Other Stage - Sunday 17:30
Why? The funniest pop stars in the business today - expect fantastic banter in between catchy two minute songs. Highlights will include After Hours, The Great Escape and hopefully a burst of Goal England!
Buy? Their first album is probably their best. With Love and Squalor is generally most consistent material they have done but with singles such as After Hours and Rules Don't Stop on their more recent albums (their third album Barbara came out a few weeks ago) you are on a winner either way.
Preview? There's an old recording to find here. Hopefully more to follow soon too.

8. These New Puritans
Where? John Peel Stage - Sunday - 14:00
Why? Hidden, their second album is another contender for album of the year so far and We Want War is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Buy? Hidden is a 100% must have and if you like that try Beat Pyramid TNPS debut LP which is also great, if not quite on par with their second.
Preview? A short support slot and a BBC Session can be found here.

Watch? I told you it was a bit good...


9. Fanfarlo
Where? Queens Head - Friday 19:00
Why? Reservior was one of my favourite albums of 2009. Fantastic throughout and no weak tracks.
Buy? Well, as I just said that there aren't any weak tracks on their album, the whole of Reservoir will be a good start!
Preview? There's an old recording to be found here.

10. The Joy Formidable
Where? Other Stage - Sunday
Why? Hmmm, if you've read this blog for a while you'll know why... If not, because they are the best live act about today and their material is fucking fantastic - that enough? Thought so.
Buy? A Balloon Called Moaning, First You Have To Get Mad, Popinjay and Download Greyhounds In The Slips - basically anything TJF put their name too.
Preview? Well I've posted a few things on this site Before! Seriously, search here for 30 odd shows, plenty of sessions and enough material to fall in love...
