4. Lamont (Sweden)
Kudos to Lamont for releasing all of their music for free download this year. It�s a great way to spread the word, and I think that the gamble could pay off. With heavy influences from fellow Swedes (and my favorite band) The Ark, there�s really no way these guys can fail. Their awesome new video for Rather Do It only proves how fantastic they are.

3. Lucky Soul (UK)
Upon hearing Lips Are Unhappy for the first time, I knew that this band was one to watch for 2007. It�s the kind of song that�s impossible to dislike, and with a voice like Ali Howard�s, there�s no way this band can fail. Their sound is completely different and refreshing and should win them fan after fan next year. I foresee them becoming absolutely massive.
