		<h1>Grammatics and Drowned In Sound&#039;s tips for 2009</h1>
 
    		<div class="entry">
				<p><img src="Http://www.chromewaves.net/images/interface/20081117grammatics.jpg" title="Grammatics" class="leftImgWithCredit" /><span class="leftCreditWide"><img src="Http://www.chromewaves.net/images/icon_cam.gif" class="cam" alt="Photo via Grammatics.co.uk" /><a href="http://www.grammatics.co.uk" target="new" title="grammatics.co.uk">grammatics.co.uk</a></span><a href="http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4135706" target="new" title="DiS vs 2009">Drowned In Sound</a> continues to peek ahead to the new year with a list of ten acts that their writers think the world will be all agog about in 2009.  I can personally endorse <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mumfordandsons" target="new" title="Mumford &#038; sons">Mumford &#038; Sons</a>, whom I saw <a href="http://www.chromewaves.net/2008/10/fe-fi-fo-fum/" title="Chromewaves vs Johny Flynn">in October</a>, and <a href="http://www.weareskylarkin.com/" target="new" title="Sky Larkin">Sky Larkin</a>, whom I&#8217;ve not seen but <a href="http://www.chromewaves.net/2008/08/molten/" title="Chromewaves vs Sky Larkin">like what I&#8217;ve heard</a>.  Presumably there&#8217;s an album in the works for the former and <i>The Golden Spike</i>, the debut from the latter, is due out in February.</p>
<p>I also quite like what I&#8217;m hearing from fresh-faced, Leeds-based moppets <a href="http://www.grammatics.co.uk" target="new" title="Grammatics">Grammatics</a>, though I&#8217;ll want to hear more before committing to any kind of endorsement.  After all, the last time I was won over by a first listen to a band fronted by a skinny dude with a high voice from that part of the world, I ended up with a <a href="http://www.jj72.org.uk/" target="new" title="JJ72">JJ72</a> album in my collection.  My first impressions can&#8217;t always be trusted.  But full-time cellist?  You have my attention.  Their three singles released thus far do tickle my fancy, when their debut album comes out in the first part of next year, I&#8217;ll be checking it out and hoping that I don&#8217;t regret too much not going to see them for free when I was in London back in May.  You can get an MP3 of latest single &#8220;New Franchise&#8221; for frees on their website by signing up for their mailing list.</p>

<p>I also checked out DiS-approved <a href="http://www.catherinead.com/" target="new" title="Catherine A.D.">Catherine A.D.</a> over the weekend, and while the first song streaming on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/catherinead" target="new" title="Catherine A.D.">her MySpace</a>, &#8220;Carry Your Heart&#8221;, has promise, the debut EP <i>The Bedroom Sessions</i> is a snooze.</p>
<p>Not on their list but obviously high on mine is <a href="http://www.emmythegreat.com" target="new" title="Emmy The Great">Emmy The Great</a>, whose debut <i>First Love</i> finally has a release date.
