Anyone listened to them yet? I had them down as a kooks rip off (and I don't like the kooks) but seeing as every one has been raving about them I copied the album last night....Very, very good! The best debut album I've heard in years! Go listen if you havn't already!

Yeah it's a great album, I've been quite into it.

Noooooooooooo. Why waste a thread on this overrated tosh. These, The Fratelli's and The Enemy are just over hyped NME tripe that really get my back up.

If you want some actual talented new indie bands to listen to just give me a nudge and i'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

I'm into quite psycadellic stuff at the moment. My current faves are The Beep Seals. Also listening to a lot of The Loungs, Paul Steel and Jim Noir.

Other bands i'm listening to are Sketchbeat, The Wombats, Mumm-Ra, Bromheads Jacket, Brandon Steep, Waxplanet and The Belgrave Scandel.

And I always have to save a special mention for Milburn as i'm a mod on there forum.

Not all are new but all are certainly not main stream. And they are all easily found on myspace so I hope you can find something out of those that you like.

Can't beat a bit of the Lancashire hotpots at the moment for me, check them out on myspace they're great
