"Every few years, there are those moments at gigs where you know you’re witnessing ‘something’. It’s hard to tell exactly what that ‘something’ is, most of the time, but you’re zipping with excitement – and already playing in your head is the future of said artist."

The magazine described a concert by the Doncaster teenager at London venue The Water Rats as "utterly thrilling," adding: "From the off, there was no looking back. Harrison snarls every word, carrying himself like a hyper-addictive mix between rapper Eminem and Johnny Rotten."

Dominic, whose dad Justin is a vintage guitar dealer and whose grandad played with glam rock legends T-Rex in the 70s, has also been compared to indie star Jamie T, 80s ska legends The Specials and Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys.

Added the magazine: "The kid’s got it all, seriously.

"As he finds himself on more festival bills and whipping up storms in venues nationwide – every gig will showcase an artist ready and willing to make it into the big leagues. Watch this space, but Yungblud is poised to go stratospheric."
