Oddly enough, so were Shed Seven!!!!!!!!
And for a time in the late 80's, The Jesus And Mary Chain were Les Gods Du Monde En France, compared to UK anyway!!!! Tu Le Monde from France wot I parlyed avec thought they were jolly brillibobs!
Not bad for a bunch for a bunch of spotty moptops from East Kilbride!!!!!!!

Swervedriver (or so I hear--more popular in the U.S. and I think even Australia than in the U.K.)

I thought Lumidee had just one hit single (that "Uh Oh" tune)? Was it not popular in the US?
Lumidee made it to #3 in the US but had 2 #1 singles in Belgium

Xinlisupreme are pretty unknown in Japan... almost all their records are only available as imports there from UK/US labels.

I was just minding my own business browsing a thread I hadn't looked at before, thinking I might mention The Runaways or something. Now I must go and scrub my optic nerve & brain with steel wool & bleach to see if I can get rid of that Hasselhoff image. And I was going to go out tonight too.

Thanks to 69 for mentioning Dead Moon. Freakin amazing band! Pierced Arrows is good too, but I'm not sure why they felt they had to stop being Dead Moon to do it.
