WHAT IT IS: Truly a breakout band of the year, the duo appeared in numerous “Ones to Watch” lists, and have gone on to become one of the most talked-about acts of 2015. In June, Isaac Holman (drums, vocals) and Laurie Vincent (guitar, vocals) released their debut album, which smashed into the Top 10 and was recently nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. The band, which exudes a modern, charismatic punk sound, is about to embark on a sold-out U.K. tour and will start their debut U.S. tour in December.
