Comment
This is from a band that are taking their live show on tour across the UK throughout the month, they’ve had so much love for the release of their new album. This is actually a bonus track and not on the album, It's on the B Side of the Glue vinyl which was released earlier today and we love it. It's Metro and it’s on Ninja Tune, we’re talking about Bicep delivering this week’s Essential New Tune. 
This week's featured Essential New Tune was featured in last week’s Friday show on BBC Radio 1. Listen again and forward to 32:15 mins here.
