I had to cut so much this week, it was an impossible task to fit the highlights in, especially with the genre mods making recommendations or requests!

Sorry to the likes of Architects, Viagra Boys, Sports Team, Throwing Muses, Deacon Blue, Prima Queen, girl in red and The Lathams for these cuts!

Damiano David and Michael Marcagi will appear in the Pop poll this week!

Playlisted my top 3, top 2 and top 4 respectively - 'blade bird' has already grown on me more so in retrospect maybe should have also been my would-be vote for week 6 but it won the poll anyway of course. Deserved landslide for Fontaines last week but the Suki song is very good too, first thing that's really clicked for me from her since 'Good Looking'. Happy that I'm a fan of at least one song from the new Sam Fender album (the one from week 7 was pretty dull, only as high as 4th there as it was a very boring list overall minus the top 2, and the bottom 2 which were pretty bad oop) and better songs here from The Amazons and Mumford & Sons than their previous poll appearances too.
