OF the few tipped Next Big Things, none have earned the title more than Camden-hailing Tribes.

If the past couple of years have been a rock ‘n’ roll radio ice age, right now our toes are teetering on the edge of a lush new dawn.

We Were Children is a great manifesto for a rag-tag four-piece who have been tipped by everyone from NME to Radio 1’s Huw Stephens.

They are a shining testament to the blood, sweat and tears so many buzz bands seem to bypass these days.
