Which do you like? & do you know mooore bands?! post them=D

And whoah; do you guys have Last.fm? my lastfmmm

thats a good list of bands there. listen to a lot of them myself.
The Draytones are a really good band, so check them out on Myspace. they're kinda Beatles-esque/garage and Blood Red Shoes, which is a girl/boy duo who play some pretty awesome tunes. you can just search these bands on Myspace.

NB: The Strokes are American and Wolfmother are Australian, but top bands nonetheless.

and by any chance, do you read NME?

the strokes? UK? i thought they were american. wait, i am correct. they are american. but yes, good choice of bands

klaxons is not indie..but is nonetheless, british!
check out Eight Legs!

i almost forgot the Horrors! gotta love those guys

i love Arctic Monkeys!! oh and the Kooks <3333

hehe, edited

and and and.. wel.. klaxons is new rave.. but it ís a UK band, isn't it?!

en whaa! yeaa! The Horrors!

The Young Knives
Noisettes
Vincent Vincent And The Villains
The Aliens

xD

whaaa.

the automatic! i'm so excited to see them at warped this year! mono band & babyshambles are great too

Whaaaa, I just forgot Shitdisco!

^yes! shitdisco...but i still like klaxons better. how about trash fashion?

have to add, These New Puritans!! another southend band. love the song 'elvis'
southend is doing really well in terms of music and fashion right now eh...

Jaysus, there's a huge list here. I'll have to check a load of them out, I haven't heard of a few of them.
Ah my friend's the lead singer of a band who have supported the Switches they're called "little thief" but they're not big yet or anything.

Look See Proof are a good indie band. and The maccabees are making it huge at the moment, well at least in my school, they're hot shtuff.

Oohh, so cool! Do you've got a few songs of 'Little Thief' and 'Look See Proof'; I've never heard of them.. and I can't find anything of them! Soo..

you've got good taste in music. :]

love these bands
what about keane and muse?
they're preety good ^_____^

The Bravery's from the United States btw.

UK bands... The Gorillaz... and The Darkness

Busted's pretty good if you want a pop rock band.

Then of course there's Coldplay.

my new find...Portishead. though they have been around for quite a while now...
i love the song 'only you'

i love the video of the song, directed by chris cunningham. he also directed 'sheena is a paraside' by the horrors.

I really like Hard-Fi and The Feeling.

Bloc Party, anyone?

We've got similiar taste, awesome!

radiohead
the libertines
the beatles

are the only ones that matter.

and add "eight legs" to that list of yours to make a bit better.

I guess listening to their myspace is the easiest. Look See Proof's myspace: http://www.myspace.com/lookseeproof, I'm not sure what little thiefs is at the moment but i shall find out!

Lily Allen & Frou Frou

lol only UK singers i know >__<

Thankyouuu=3



Ohhyeh! I forgot them! Thankyouuu!


Whoepsiee.. I edited The Bravery;) And yeah, I love colplay to! ( I forgot too much!)



Wauw.. I've never heard of Portishead! Cool8)



oehyaaey:D And I <33333333 The Feeling& Bloc Party! And Hard-Fi I never listen tooo



Oekie! Thank you for the link, I'll check it out right now:D

Hard-Fi are pretty good. got their album Stars of CCTV. cash machine is probably their most well-known song.
Bloc Party are incredible, though i missed out on a chance to see them live. though from the Youtube videos i've seen, they're pretty awesome.

the best way to find UK bands is the NME. looooove their NME Radio. its the best!

I looooove the Arctic Monkeys. UK rock just wins.

I love FRANZ FERDINAND, The Kaiser Chiefs, The Libertines, The Arctic Monkeys, The Beatles, and Keane ... ALOT

GO LISTEN TO IMOGEN HEAP!!

my new love <3

formerly 'frou frou'

i probably love arctic monkeys more than my own family....

NO JK BUT THEYRE SO AMAZING!

Dungen is a nice banddd..

and and and.. we smoke kool-aids!

does McFly fall under uk bands?

hmm.. it's not really really really a band he? like jack peñate.. oh.. tomorrow i'm going to see pigeon detectives=D last week i've been to kaiser chiefs, the 1990's, the apples in stereo and five o'clock heroes =D

^do you live in england?
lucky b__ch

im going to london this fall

Uh, Radiohead? Probably one of the biggest influences today on bands both in the UK and elsewhere. And deservedly so.

The Smiths (so, so mopey)
Travis (pre-The Boy With No Name...bleh)
Franz Ferdinand (dance rock!)
Mew (unfortunate nominal association with a certain Pokemon, but great "out there" music)
The Clash (der)

Okay, so maybe these aren't all indie. Still worth a mention.

this REALLY needs an up!

currently loving the wombats, the dykeenies, neon plastix and of course still arctic monkeys.
haha its so funny to read here, that i've never heard of look see proof before a few months ago. And now they are getting big! I'll update the list in a bit! =D




*oops, i just realized that this is my sister's account, chocolaatje.. hhahaha lol

okieeeeeeeeeees
i updated the huge list!

i love UK bands so much, too many to name them all here -but recently i've gotten really into editors. being a hardcore interpol fan i was holding off on listening to them -but now i think they're really great in their own right

wow, i forgot this thread existed haha...i've been getting into so much Australian indie music i haven't been paying as much attention to the UK bands coming out..
I just checked out your last.fm LANOZ' and you've got some awesome taste in music (mine is sputnik-77). i can't believe you like The Physics as well! i thought they were a really small indie band.. they're song 'bulimia sisters' and 'networking' are brilliant.

i know this is like 5 months overdue, but how was it seeing The Pigeon Detectives? they're amazing.. love their stuff.

and yes, Arctic Monkeys still rock because they are just an amazing bunch of guys. Seeing them live completely blew me away with their sheer awesomeness....gah, i could keep on talking about the arctic monkeys gig forever cos it was so goood.. i have to go see them again when they come back to oz. and i cannot wait for Alex Turner and Miles Kane's new album..it should be coming out early next year!!

=]

you're a legend. are you british??

i saw klaxons (and shy child, daft punk and CSS - non uk) at the o2 wireless. AMAZING. and im going backstage at Hard-fi on the 19th......i cant tell you how excited i am.

Also, i know you mentioned "new" bands, but some of the best stuff is the old stuff, and it SO deserves a mention. its CLASSIC BRIT ROCK PEOPLE!!!!! i put a star next to all the old stuff though just in case you have a strange adversity to music produced before you may have been born.
i think radiohead and muse were mentioned...RIGHTLY SO!!
Calvin Harris isnt a band but....good?
Thats all i can think of for now, i probably dont even like some of the bands i listed, its just the first ones that came into my head. DEFINATELY check out the classic stuff.

@petit charat:
ooohh, PD were so good hahaa. AH! I've been to arctic monkeys a few days ago. They were genius! haha it was soo soo soo cool. oohhh, i've just checked out your lastfm and i've just shouted you:D your music taste is really good; thats why the compatibily is very high hehehe.

@spacebattles:
i've seen interpol a few weeks ago, they were really good. and i've always liked ánd editors ánd interpol. that seems to be well weird hehehe:P

@tengosuds:
oefff, how sad im not british wished i was:P you live in the uk though:O ( i live in the netherlands) im going to study there.. i hope hehehe!
Your music list is wellll good! and well, 'new' bands isnt really correct anymore. Most of the bands in my list aren't new anymore:D I looove los campesinos! they are wicked live! And im going to see the hoosiers in januari, so exciting! In the beginning i thought i would be the only one @soompi who likes those bands. But im glad im not:D

ooohh, we've got to keep this topic up! yak!

I've always liked her Frou Frou album better than her Imogen Heap releases. The lyrics are more mature on her Frou Frou albums, I think. As to British indie bands, I really like Camera Obscura. Most people will probably hate them though.They have sort of a '60s feel to their music. British bands in general, my favorite's Oi Va Voi (disregarding their latest album). Very unique album to listen to. It's a blend of klezmer, gypsy, hip hop, rock, and classical. There really is no way to explain what genre they are part of. Nonetheless the music's good. And thanks for the list too. Now I have more music to explore.

hihi thats cool ~!
well, i really like oi va voi!:D

camera obscura are actually quite good. that sort of relaxed feel they have to their tunes are preferct for relaxing n stoof on a sunday arvo. check out 'The Bird and the Bee'..they have similar sounds to camera obscura.

The Hoosiers!? gah! LANOZ' i am green with envy =P... it's poo living here in Oz where you can't get to any UK bands' gigs.. unless i want to fly all the way there. although, i am trying to support as many local/independant Australian artists as much as i can..woo!

yay for UK artists!! i hope to go to the UK one day and go to a couple of gigs. need a lot of $$$ though...

edittt...

The Wombats is an incredible band. think of Jamie T x3.. their lyrics are witty and funny as.

you're so lucky LANOZ' i bet the hoosiers are amazing live, they have such incredible energy and they seem like such jokers.
yeah i live in the UK, London to be more specific.

IM GLAD this topic isnt specific to new bands, got much love for the classic brit rock. ill be back with more bands soon but im in a rushhhhh right now

where do you guys get this music?
all i can ever find is asian music LOL

there's not enough travis here plz.




Cd's: The boy with no name
Twelve Memories
The man who

omg. love them. so much.

Travis are a good band too! Love their stuff. Fran's voice is just amazing... loved their cover of Britney Spear's 'Baby One More Time'... that was bloody hilarious.

yongwonhi - Myspace. that's a good place to start, just search the band's names and voila! indie music goodness! And Last.Fmm which let's you preview music and find other bands/artists similar to them and their sound..

=]

OH, anyone else like The Jam? Paul Weller is an absolute legenddd

the jam are INCREDS.
and so are travis.
AHHHHHHHH so much good music

what about super furry animals?
i love their song "runaway"

I love Travis!!! Fran is tooo cute!

Has anyone mentioned Muse here? This band is amazing!!!! Ahhhh you can't go on in life without knowing them, lol.



Some standout songs:

~Time is Running Out
~New Born
~Hysteria
~Stockholm Syndrome
~Plug In Baby
~Butterflies and Hurricanes

So much more...but that's off the top of my head!

lol, I was just about to say, how come no one has mentioned Muse but you beat me to it. Let me add some more to the mix:

Verve
Radiohead
Lostprophets
Muse (all of their albums are amazing!!)
Ocean Colour Scene
Oasis
Orbital (Dance, techno)
Massive attack

I actually went to the Verve's gig last Thursday at the O2 stadium and they were blinding! Still top notch after all these years...great comeback and I just cant get enough of the song "Lucky Man".

Yay another Muse fan!

Their music is like nothing else. What's your favorite album?

Origin of Symmetry just edges it for me, great guitar riffs and heavy lyrics. Amazing how its just a 3 piece band...how does Matt play and sing like that! Crazy. What about you, whats your fav album?

Muse are a phenominal band. Origin of Symmetry is my favourite album too! It's just got killer tunes and Matt's guitar is just insanely awesome.

OASIS.. my second favourite band ever. I got into them only a couple of years ago (a bit late i know..) but they just blow me away with their awesome sounds. Noel's lyrics are fantastic but his voice is just the best. But i gotta give Liam some credit cos he's the one that made me love Oasis in the first place. I've never seen them live (thanks to stupid age restrictions here in Oz) but i would love to one day, cos they seem really good live.

The JAM...i wish i were alive when they were still a band..

anyone else into The SMITHS?
