Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last two days, you’d be aware that the lineup for Laneway 2013 in Singapore has been announced. As the tickets are now on sale, Power of Pop has decided to render a public service and run the rule over the 14 bands to determine if they pass muster on the hipster test ratings (out of 5 ∆s).

∆ (ALT-J)

Looks: ∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆∆ (Bonus marks for having a name that’s a hipster symbol!)

BAT FOR LASHES

Look: ∆∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆ (Minus marks for being in her 30s)

CLOUD NOTHINGS

Look: ∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆ (Pop-punk is not very hipster is it?)

DIVINE FITS

Look: ∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆ (Struggling to pass – bit long in the tooth as well & pop smarts is never good hipster form)

GOYTE

Look: ∆∆∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆∆ (Does not get more hipster than this!)

JAPANDROIDS

Look: ∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆ (Enough singalong Oh-Oh-Oh choruses to qualify)

KIMBRA

Look: ∆∆∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆∆ (What did you think?? Hipster princess!)

KINGS OF CONVENIENCE

Look: ∆∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆ (Over-exposed in SG already? Perhaps but Scandinavian and folky so no worries!)

NICHOLAS JAAR

Looks: ∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆ (An unknown quality somewhat)

OF MONSTERS AND MEN

Looks: ∆∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆∆ (Icelandic with an Arcade Fire vibe, how more hipster could they get???)

POLICA

Looks: ∆∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆ (That autotune obsession is so bad it’s hipster gold)

REAL ESTATE

Looks: ∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆ (Melodies are too sophisticated and that may negatively impact their hipster cred)

TAME IMPALA

Looks: ∆

Music: ∆

Overall: ∆ (How can any band that channels Syd Barrett so well ever hope to be considered a hipster band? FAIL!)

YEASAYER

Looks: ∆∆∆

Music: ∆∆∆∆

Overall: ∆∆∆∆ (2nd time round at Laneway Singapore, so should be no problem)
