“I Want To Go To Mars” by American act The Birdwatchers was first up on Discover. Released in 2004, the track feels like it was released 40 years earlier, with summery care-free energy and hazy instrumentation.

Next up is a track titled “Boomerang (of Truth)” by Norway’s The Heretics. Succeeding in recreating the London mod vibe with a dash of west coast harmonies and early psych, there’s little doubt they’ll make you shake your hips.

Lastly is a track by an act describing themselves as the “ultimate 60s party band”. Australia’s The Breed, certainly bring the party. Specialists in blending 60s pop with hints of Merseybeat, “It’s Your Love Song” will get you in the mood to find your local vintage store!
