Young and emerging bright sparks Fox Cubs are this week's R13 Band of the Week.

Thus far, 2008 has seen the band gain prestigious acclaim from the likes of Steve Lamacq, for whom they also recorded a live session, and play the BBC Introducing stages at Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Having recently recruited a new drummer, the lads are all set to hit the live circuit this autumn with some cracking new dance-inducing guitar driven tracks that deserve to win the attention of the mass media. Time will tell, but you heard it here first! We think these boys are going to be big.
