We say

19 year-old Brighton duo Harley and Jordan are Rizzle Kicks. They come off the starting blocks with Prophet (Better Watch It), a track that's getting plenty of support in all the right places. Fearne Cotton has played it twice on Radio 1 and Zane Lowe and Rob Da Bank have supported too. All deserved - it's a fresh-sounding pop tune delivered with verve and wit. Their YouTube channel is busy with more than 500k views, including those for their remix of Jessie J's Price Tag and their original song Down With The Trumpets. Plenty of online coverage has resulted, including the BBC Introducing blog and arjanwrites, who singled out their "punchy delivery, soulful rhythms and lyrical wit". They play the BBC Introducing stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend and hit The Great Escape before that. Prophet has been added to Radio 1's BBC Introducing playlist. Watch the video, which was made by Toby Lockerbie using 960 still photographs.

Great Escape gigs: May 11, The Haunt/ May 12, Concorde 2
