Swedish indie-popsters The Radio Department hit the tenth anniversary of their (formal) inception this year, celebrating with their biggest UK headline show to date in support of their latest studio offering Clinging To A Scheme. They’ve long been signed to Labrador Records, the indie-pop label immortalised in song by Manchester’s Jam On Bread (read more about him in the New Bands section of this issue). If you’ve even a passing interest in thick-knit jumpers, cross stitch or anything twee, this could be your new favourite band. Their last London show at Bush Hall sold out well in advance though, so get in quick if you fancy it. John Rogers
