Like a mixture of Paramore, Kim Wilde and even a slice of Goober Gun's more feminine side, Alyssa Atherton is a slick American rock singer with an equally well-greased backing band.
All three songs on this single are stunningly brilliant, highly dynamic and excellently crafted. It isn't described as one, but this is definitely a triple-a-side single.
'Don't Stop' sets the bar high with quality stomping beat, sweet guitars and huge melody, 'Spinning' throws in some anthemic sparkle along the lines of Angels and Airwaves and 'Not Thinking Of You' is a smouldering air-puncher.
I haven't been this excited about an American band since the Drive Thru invasion some five years ago - Alyssa Atherton is going to be a massive hit.
