    Billobuckers, The Otherness and The NSO feature on this week's new music picks.

    Freshly Squeezed hits Leicester, Yorkshire and Argentina on this weeks quest to find the very best in new music. Another trio of bands locked in and ready to go as Jim Salveson grabs tunes and chat from three emerging artists. On the playlist this week... Billobuckers: Alright muckers... it's Billobuckers! The Leicester band are pushing aside the usual big indie bangers for the latest tune which has a touch of The Streets spoken word about it. Big tune with a big message. The Otherness: Defying expectations of what you might assume would come out of Buenos Aires, The Otherness deliver instantly familiar, sharply crafted indie rock. Their double A‑side, ‘Now’s the Time’ and ‘Be Bop A Lucifer’, showcases two impressively accomplished sides of their musical identity. The NSO: Arctic Monkeys meets Dr Dre anyone? The NSO have a trademark Yorkshire sound with a New York groove! Infectious tunes are the result. You can follow the Freshly Squeezed weekly playlist here - 10 brand new tunes EVERY week.
