The BBC’s Sound of 2012 was released today. Rather than talk about any of the artists that are featured I thought I’d write a piece on one that wasn’t: 2.54

London band 2.54 is fronted by sisters, Hannah and Colette Thurlow – (sisters in bands seemed to be quite a quirky, original thing until every group of sisters joined bands, making it very much less and quirky) – and they really do make a great sound.

With a UK tour set for February 2012, they’re sure to be one of the artists that blows the ‘Sound of 2012′ classroom out of the water. I’m expecting and anticipating big things from these girls in the near future. With a strange epic-ness to their sound, the band would be equally comfortable in a dingy bedroom as they would be playing some of London’s biggest venues. A sort of indie/alternative band with a slight twist, and a dash of cranberry, they’re the sorta band you can’t help but tap your foot along to, or your head, or your finger. They’re really quite good.

Here’s the video to their single, Scarlet:
