The next big thing? We've got you sorted - from rock and indie to R&B, electro and beyond
With 'next big thing' lists usually confined to the end or the start of the year, it's perhaps easy to forget that good unsigned acts come out of nowhere to astound us every single day.
2014 has already managed to produce some of the hottest new talent across the spectrum, from imminent pop sensations through to stunning electonic duos via immersive new takes on traditional indie foundations. Needless to say, this is a very exciting time for new music.
Looking away from the charts and what PRs can throw at you, the rest of the year could easily be claimed by a whole host of undiscovered, unsigned talent. So in that vein, here are 13 unsigned acts we think you seriously need to get on your radar.
