16. London Grammar


16. London Grammar - If You Wait

London Grammar is based out of Nottingham, but Hannah Reid (vocalist) and Dan Rothman (guitarist) met while attending school in London. In fact, they started playing when Rothman saw Reid's avatar holding a guitar on Facebook and messaged her to play with him. It sounds creepy, I know, but an album and EP later and they are making big waves. They've been a three piece since 2009 (Dominic Major (keyboard, drums) filling out the roster) and started the usual way by playing small clubs and such. However, with a voice like Hannah's, they have catapulted to chart topping singles in just a few years. The breadth and depth of these songs reminds me of a cross between Daughter and Florence and the Machine.
