Best New British Band for Years

Advantages: Original and easy to listen to.
Disadvantages: Might find the songs a bit same-ish.

Where to start with this album? Arctic Monkeys absolutely exploded onto the Indie scene with their refreshingly different style. This album made them suppermassive and it is essential for any collection. Even Noel Gallagher admits they have trangressed into part of youth culture! This album combines Alex Turner's ingenious lyrics with some awesome riffs. The song 'Fake Tales of San Francisco' is a good example of this, as it utilises a musically ...
...is their debut single 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor', a song which has just about made it to cult classic status. This fast paced tune is a firm fans favourite and is what the Monkey's are all about. I would recommend this album to anybody into Indie Rock'n'Roll music, or anyone looking for something that bit different. Oh, and also for anyone that plays guitar, playing along with this album is thoroughly satisfying! ...

Inside In/Inside Out- Kooks

Advantages: Upbeat,tuneful rough garage hippie sound.Some strong songs on the album.
Disadvantages: They arent really the sort of band that make massive musical waves,although they are charming.

The Kooks are Luke Pritchard (vocals/guitar), Hugh Harris (guitar), Max Rafferty (bass), and Paul Garred (drums). The band are named after a David Bowie song, but this doesnt at all reflect their style. The band met while at Brighton Music College. Essentially they are a really low budget garage rock band, although they do sound rough around the edges, I believe this gives them their charm. Their influences are The Police, The Strokes and strangely ...
...the bands innocent sound. This album is their debit released in 2006 and contains Top 20 hit 'You Dont Love Me' and 'She Moves In Her Own Way' . And acclaim for tracks on this album doesnt end there: 'Naive' shot to number 5 by the spring of that year! Musically their sound is percussionistic, melodic and upbeat. I think they are like a really good university union band that have a really mellow hippie vibe about their songs (especially in 'She Moves ...

Peacocks

Advantages: Stealthy glamour, the music, Alison Goldfrapp's fabulous voice
Disadvantages: The overworking of certain songs, the general tone is surprising

...a game girl, isn't she, is that Alison Goldfrapp). Although occasionally slipping into forgettable nonsense and camp luxuries, Supernature is the most consistent and solid album the duo have produced out of their first three records. Just don't go buying it in the expectation that it's a disco record. ...

ONE WORD, AMAZING!

Advantages: consistency throughout , excellent presentation, amazing sound
Disadvantages: would love some more songs!

Kings of Leon lastest album has seen a fresh approach to classic rock traditions and orginality. The 11 track album was worth every penny in my opinion. The tracks seem to get better and better the more you listen to them making you truely fall in love with a well compiled album with consistency throughout, youl find it hard to decide upon your favourite track. The brothers and cousin have for sure lived up to their 3 other excellent albums, whilst ...
