Almost famous
Keep an eye and ear out for these artists in 2007
Some of them haven't even released their first albums yet - not in this country, anyway. But that hasn't stopped the world's early adapters from murmuring their names with awe. Below we bring you those singers and musicians, poised to splash down on our shores, each graced and cursed with the charge of advance buzz. Consider them music's new faces of '07.
Sound: Brisk and catchy snot-nosed punk-pop, fired by the singer's blatant Scottish brogue. Even their ballads have kick as well as melodic flair.
Background: The four high-spirited lads (average age: 18) grew up in Dundee, Scotland, where they played Sex Pistols and Squeeze covers. Their own songs land in the garage-punk zone of the Undertones or Libertines (they were signed by the same guy who discovered that scrappy band).
Prognosis: If the world comes to its senses, the View will become the Arctic Monkeys of '07.
