2. Wolf Alice
Perhaps the most obvious choice on this list, Wolf Alice have been bubbling under the radar for quite some time now. The band’s unique twist of grunge and pop is the perfect soundtrack to anyone’s summer. Frontwoman Ellie Rowsell is a compelling character; on stage, her warm energy fizzes out into the crowd, and her vocals shimmer with sweet, sugary melodies. ‘Bros’ was the first Wolf Alice song I heard back in 2013, and I remember my 13-year-old self being very taken aback at just how amazing Ellie Rowsell was (and still is). Before this point, it had never really occurred to me that girls could lead bands and be just as cool as the boys.
