Carl Barat & the Jackals are appearing at 1-2-3-4 Festival

Carl Barât & the Jackals are appearing at 1-2-3-4 Festival with the likes of Jesus & Mary Chain and The Cribs.

They sent us a mixtape ahead of that performance comprised of some of their favourite tracks right now - take a listen below:

There are some excellent picks - here guitarist Billy Tessio gives a brief track-by-track explanation for why they made it onto the playlist.

1. Sham 69 - If The Kids Are United

Still as relevant today as it was in 1979. A dressing-room belter.

2. Telegram - Aeons

Wicked bassline intro from a wicked band. Looking forward to catching their set at 1234 this year.

3. Dinosaur Jr - Freak Scene

“Sometimes I don't thrill you, sometimes I think I'll kill you, but don't let me f*** up will you, cause' when I need a friend it's still you - what a mess!” Best song for your best mate.

4. No Joy - Hare Tarot Lies

Shangri La's on acid! Another band we're hoping to catch at 1234 this year.

5. PJ Harvey - Chain Of Keys

Her albums never disappoint. This track really stuck out from her latest. Fantastic lyrics.

6. The Sleepy Jackson - Rain Falls For Wind

Massively impressed with their diverse sound from track to track.

7. Elvis Costello and The Attractions - No Action

An incredibly talented and prolific band at their angsty and punky beginnings.

8. Bad Sounds - Avalanche

Saw this band a couple of months ago and they just blew me away. Watch this lot

9. Tribes - We Were Children

Sweet production on this record.

10. Led Zeppelin - D'yer Mak'er

Love Bonham's drums and percussion in this. Nice ska track from zep

The 1234 Festival takes place in London on 3 September - go here for more information
