SXSW 2016: 25 Artists You Need to See

Status: Blowing Up
Why You Should Pay Attention: This Danish pop outfit's piano-tinged travelogue "7 Years" — which takes a long view of 27-year-old frontman Lukas Forchammer's life, particularly the direction he received from his late father — has topped the U.K. pop charts and has been steadily rising on the Billboard Hot 100. The band, made up of Forchammer and his childhood friends, make heartfelt pop reminiscent of the Fray and Augustana. After their SXSW appearances, they'll embark on a headlining tour of North America.
