Mumford and Sons

Pigeon Detectives

Scouting for Girls, easily. Plenty of the bands listed are bad, but SfG has the additional horror of the singer's butthurt/jealous creep/imminent restraining order.

... and this

do not leave off The Kooks

SFG getting a lot of flak here, and deservedly, but there's got to be more hate for razorlight than this? I remember a two-year period where every festival highlights clip on tv included Jonny Borrell writhing in and out of a plunge-neck vest.

just type 'v festival 2007' into yr favourite search engine for inspiration

Correction: 2008 more a cultural pessimism dream-team line-up

morrissey shd do a song titled 'roy's tried'

i recall the fact of razorlight being ubiquitous, but i think i've more or less excised the reality of it from my mind.

the twang.

although they weren't in the spotlight for long enough to really hit the heights of your scouting for girlses etc.

Well done, I think you've managed to find the only band worse than Scouting For Girls

babyshambles are the only mention so far that i have owned a .rar by

Noah + the Whale not on the list

The Twang have previously been hailed by fellow Coventry native John 'Gaunty' Gaunt as bringing back the spirit of punk rock, thus unquestionably earning them a place in this canon

I watched the youtube of the twang (it was shit) rather than bringing the spirit of punk rock (eg actually "rocking") they seem to belong to that sub wonder stuff school of "songwriting" where the tunes all seem to be ululations between 2 or maybe 3 notes.

Until now I'd never known that the Fat Magic Numbers were British.

Talking of Coventry, there's The Enemy

The Enemy specialise in music about friendship and social commentary like The Arctic Monkeys or The Libertines. Tom Clarke has said that bands such as The Clash and Oasis have had a "huge influence on our friendships within the band and with our families. These bands taught us to open our hearts" .

.........

Towers of London?

"These bands taught us to open our hearts" IDK what to say about this really. It's kind of stunned me into silence.

"...and with our families" did that for me

Ah, the emeby.

Try again: The Enemy.

There was some interview where to show their distinct/exclusive tastes, they said that the only band they *all* liked was Oasis.

Which is a good way of saying the exact opposite to what they intended...

The Others
The Rakes
The Cribs

Oasis???? taught them to open their hearts? They know their heart is not their gob, right?

I dislike Babyshambles for reasons other than their music - they harrdly ever play anyway.
Towers of London: Donny Tourette is a twunt but has a tiny bit of self awareness and knowledge that his band's situation is ridiculous and hopeless.

Pash/Tom, I read that as "see, we told our parents that although they might think we're crap and we should concentrate on our school work etc, we played them Oasis records and said that we could do that, and they said that we might be onto something"

My shit rural American town has Ke$ha playing a coupla hours away in a few weeks so the local top 40 station is playing her nonstop & last night I was exasperated at the "desperate clubbing" themes of every song but having read that blurb on The Enemy I take back everything I said Ke$ha, you are loved again.

Also SNORE PATROL you bunch of fucking amateurs.

The Cribs had a few moments and I feel like Towers of London were stupid, harmless fun and not taking themselves very seriously so they can't be lumped in with gobshites like Mumford and Razorlight.

You know I already had some mass pity for all you folks thanks to Cameron, but this is now approaching catharsis.

But I am American so my exposure to both was limited.

Joe lean and jing and a jang and a jong...

Had the good grace to fall off the pavement rather than from a height.

Oh god forgot about them.

Biffy Clyro

Right, they suck

I would disqualify Joe Lean & The Jing Jang Jong due to them being so shit no one would even release their album. They were sort of the Gay Dad tipping point where the music industry realised they were just taking the piss now.
