Fresher Sounds - 26/01/2015 – The National Student

As the old adage goes, good things come in threes.

Now in our third week, we hope to prove columns are certainly no exception.

Fortunately, the great tunes keep on coming to offset these increasingly tenous opening paragraphs.

We're only three columns in! It looks like 2015 is going to give us plenty of awesome music to keep us going, we just need to write better intros...

Just listen to this little lot...
