Words: Saam Das

It's been a couple of years since the last album from Canadian outfit Braids, and a couple more years since I saw the band play in a weird bar on Brighton pier at The Great Escape 2011.

Before that come ten of my favourite/the "best" singles from March, which I heartily recommend. Listen to them all below.
