180, the debut album from Lambeth's Palma Violets, arrived on Rough Trade on 25 February 2013, riding a wave of hype that had been building since the band formed in 2011. At its core is the partnership of frontmen Sam Fryer and Chilli Jesson; their first single, "Best of Friends", had already been crowned NME's track of 2012, and the BBC nominated them for its Sound of 2013 poll.
The buzz started in the crowd rather than the press office: fans filmed the gigs and posted them online, much the way The Libertines once built a following. On record it's garage rock with the paint still wet, ragged guitars and a psychedelic haze around the edges. They took it on the road on the 2013 NME Awards Tour alongside Miles Kane, Django Django and Peace, and followed it with Danger in the Club.
