Ones to Watch 2013 - Full List

For the last 15 days we’ve brought you our Ones to Watch for 2013 list. As we noted in our introductory post to the list, new music doesn’t just appear between now and January, it appears all year round and hence many of the acts we featured have appeared on the blog before, but we believe may take a step up in 2013, some commercially, others in terms of quality of new material or live shows. The list represents the styles and tastes of music and contains a mix of unsigned, indie and major label artists that we enjoy at Breaking More Waves. Hopefully you’ve found something of interest amongst the 15 artists we’ve featured.

There’s a certain amount of cynicism about these ‘tip’ lists that floats around certain parts of the internet, but here at Breaking More Waves we don’t subscribe to that. Our inner geek loves end of year lists and so as we get closer to December you’ll find us rolling out some more, most noticeably on December 3rd we’ll be announcing (together with a variety of other UK music bloggers) the long list of the second ever Blog Sound of 2013 poll – a Ones to Watch style list curated and voted for by just under 50 UK based music blogs and then from December 10th our Albums of 2012 list.

We also have a few special early Christmas presents for you near the start of December, so keep an eye (and ear) out for something pretty special around that time.

Until then, in case you missed any, here’s the full list of Breaking More Waves Ones to Watch 2013 with links to the relevant posts. We’ll be back next week as normal before we start our run down to Christmas.
