For your entertainment during another working week here's five more hand-picked delights from the Scruff Of The Neck stable.

Barron – 'Waiting For'

Ripe with melody and rich with emotion, 'Waiting For' signals the debut music video from Manchester's Barron. With enough pop sensibility to harbour definite cross-over appeal, it's indie rock at its most polished. That shouldn't deter listeners though, 'Waiting For' is rife with subtle nuance and proves Barron are a band to keep your eyes on.

Furr – 'Think Sharp Kid'

Heading North East up the M62, Leeds-based Furr offer a weightier take on rock. Unsurprising given their LS postcode, debut single 'Think Sharp Kid' is a distinctly British take on grunge, and comes across like Queens Of The Stone Age had they formed in West Yorkshire rather than South California. There's reason it appealed to Radio One's more alternative DJ's.

Morning Smoke – 'Waste My Time'

Hailing from Brighton, Morning Smoke are arguably one of their cities more morose outfits. That doesn't mean to say there's not a lot to love however. 'Waste My Time' is the band's most recent single and depicts their trademark despondency while never shying away from occasional melody. Having followed the band since their debut single, it's fantastic to hear just how far they've come the three years that followed.

Holy Matrimony – 'In A Dream Of You And I'

The first of the week's bands to harbour a more electronically driven aesthetic, Holy Matrimony are both refined and somewhat understated. 'In A Dream Of You And I' is the trio's most recent release, and floats effortlessly on the steady percussion that backbones its hazy bed of electronics. A track both indebted to its influences, yet feels unequivocally contemporary.

BlackWaters – 'Moon On A Stick'

In keeping with this weeks' tradition of new singles, BlackWaters' 'Moon On A Stick' is a frenetic and punchy indie-pop number with enough energy and bite to appeal to even the punk crowd. Upbeat and full of a wild and and wilful abandon, it's the sort of single that turns crowds in to a heaving mass of sweaty limbs, and we can't wait to here it live!

For your entertainment during another working week here's five more hand-picked delights from the Scruff Of The Neck stable.

Bayonet – 'Everything'

Released last Friday, the latest single from Sheffield four-piece Bayonet is an upbeat and punchy slice of tropi-pop. Relentless percussion is offset by sleek and swimmy guitar licks; the propulsive stop-start instrumentation adding to the track's frenetic nature. With a clear ear for both a hook and melody, Bayonet are going places.

Painted Waves – 'The Central Souls'

Hailing from Glasgow, Painted Waves embody a quintessentially Scottish brand of atmospheric indie. Latest single 'The Central Souls' is rich in both jangles and nostalgia, while its backing harmonies are the perfect accompaniment to the timbre of the lead vocal.

DECO – 'Turn Around'

Subscribing to a similar brand of swimmy indie-pop to Bayonet, London/Notts-based DECO have already made quite a name for themselves. The band's most recent single 'Turn Around' is built around button-bright synths and falsetto vocal harmonies, drawing comparisons to the likes of Two Door Cinema Club or Jaws. Having already earned favour at the likes of Radio 1, we can expect to hear a lot more from DECO soon.

Dharma Wild – 'Woodsmoke'

Dharma Wild first caught my attention after the band handed me their demo outside a gig. 'Woodsmoke' was the only track on it, but that's all that was needed. Steeped in nuance, it's a track both delicate and imposing. Rich swells of brass colour huge open swathes of instrumentation, creating an almost bucolic brand of post-rock that's certain to take them places.

Visitors – 'Save Me'

Though a grunge band at heart, Liverpool's Visitors manage to retain their Scouse heritage while making more noise than most of the city's indie bands. 'Save Me' is an explosion of guitars and clattering percussion while its strong, impassioned vocal never feels lost among the instrumentation. Somewhat of a breath of fresh air amongst a scene stifled by ten-a-penny indie bands, Visitors feel like one of Liverpool's most vital bands.
