There are a number of great all-girl pop acts to be launched in 2011 but one we didn't know about until a few days ago is Stooshe.
They're a south east London trio and the track they sent over is called 'Fuck Me'. Yeah, we know, but it's really good. And there is a polite version called 'Love Me'.
Rough around the edges doesn't even begin to describe it — and do your best to ignore the rap which is awful whichever way you look at it — but there's a rare energy in this video and the girls' personalities really leap out of the screen.
'Fuck Me':

2. "They should get signed by a major label because this could be even more brilliant with a load of cash thrown at it."
3. "Having said that I hope they don't get signed by a major because that will probably end up knocking all the good bits out of it and the whole thing will end up being a pale imitation of what's in this video."
4. "Hearing some more songs would be good."
