One of the best new bands is hitting the big stage with their debut album due at summers end. Noah and the Whale was formed in London back in 2006. Arguably the best record of 2008 so far. Laura Marling sings in almost every track on their debut album and loves being part of this band. She has been busy with her solo work but I'm sure will be back for another record with her first band. It's also a very good bet considering she's dating Charlie Fink, the lead singer of Noah and the Whale.
