Thanks for adding the tiebreaker Wardy, busy week at work made me forget it 😂

Paging @Liam Sota @DaTilt @Mangø as you all voted before it was added.

I've voted in the tiebreaker now (for The Lathums, one of the best things they've released IMO)

Wolf Alice over the Hives. Ethel in the tie, though definitely last week's best two.

I also voted for Wolf Alice and Ethel

Wolf Alice and the Lathums for me!

Last day to vote!
