The Noisettes are set to be the hottest band of the summer but what's all the shouting about?


The Noisettes are the band that have it all - amazing style, top tunes and the coolest front woman!  They recently played the PPQ party at London Fashion Week for the likes of Peaches Geldof and Daisy Lowe, and they even sang karaoke with Maximo Park!

The trio consists of singer Shingai Shoniwa, guitarist Dan Smith and drummer Jamie Morrison, who formed the band in 2003.

You may have heard their new 70s disco-inspired single Don't Upset The Rhythm on a car advert, but their album Wild Young Hearts is a mixture of melodic pop, indie guitar riffs and hand claps a plenty!

We caught up with them to find out what's rocking their world at the moment...

On their amazing on-stage outfits...
Jamie said: Shingai actually found a dress outside a charity shop, so we really get our outfits from anywhere and everywhere. We all love having fun with our stage outfits.  We'd love to borrow some dresses from Rihanna or Lily Allen!

On fashion...
Be yourself and have fun with your outfit – it’s all about how you carry yourself. Add a splash of colour and don’t be afraid.  You know, style comes from the inside.

On their musical influences...
We listened to a lot of Stevie wonder, Minnie Ripperton, Diana Ross, Prince...lots of 70s disco and soul mixed with more modern music.

And their new album...
We recorded our first album in 3 week, so although we were happy with it, we wanted to move on from it and add more instruments.  The world wasn't ready for us then!  There are some great tunes and we love having fun with the songs.

On their gigs...
We've played a lot of private shows this year, but we love playing for 'real' people. 

On where they got the album name Wild Young Hearts...
The lyrics summed up the way we're living right now. Sometimes we do things we regret and others we're really proud over, so that's what Wild Young Hearts is all about.  Life is about ups and downs - sometimes your sad, then others you're wild and impulsive.

On touring with Maximo Park...
We're really excited about going back on the road with Maximo Park. We sang karaoke with them once in Japan. We did some Bon Jovi and The Carpenters and other cheesy songs.  Hopefully they've invited us back because they like us, not because of our karaoke antics! Although, there may be some more of those crazy nights on tour...who knows!

Check out their cool new single...
