The best bands of the last 2 years
 

Is anyone listening to some new music thats exciting. Seen any decent bands lately. I want to go and watch HARD FI on Tuesday in Manchester but cant make it unfortunatley because I haven't seen them before. :( Someone recommended their album and I think ist great.

I think there are some great bands around at the minute. I love the Kaiser Chiefs. Sadly though I haven't seen them, the last concert I went to was the Daddy of Punk Iggy Pop, who still has it going on.

It all came of as well for his usual party piece, to reveal his legendary, er............support act.

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

its definately a great time for music at the mo, bands such as the Zutons, the Futureheads, the Subways, Secret Machines, 22-20s, and my new favourite band Arctic Monkeys are bringing back the best of British talent.
i suggest if you havent heard of any of these bands, check 'em out! theyre a breath of fresh air into the monotonous state of the UK charts.

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

Look out for a band called OperatorSix. They are a four-piece guitar-driven indie band, who hail from Keighley, West Yorkshire.
Lettie & I saw them at St. Georges Hall in Bradford earlier this year, when they were the support act to Paul Weller. I was impressed enough to purchase their first Album, "Alibi", when it was released in September.
I predict a big future for this band.

yes i agree now we just have to do something about simon cowel, pete waterman and louis walsh ..the grand ruination of the uk music scene

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

Those 3 aren't the ruin of the UK music scene - the people who buy the records they produce and vote on the shows they are on are to blame for that. Therefore unfortunately we only really have ourselves (or at least our peers) to blame.

I have just bought a new CD which is well worth a listen, by a couple of oldies but by no means has-beens. Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb, the name of the album is Guilty Too, it is a follow up album to Guilty which was released in 1980. Excellent easy listening! Well that is of course IMHO.

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

Just heare a band called The Mooney Suzuki, best stuff iv'e heard in quite a while. I'ts a bit who/zep/doors 'esk.

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

I heard of them a couple of years ago on some MTV reality show or something, haven't heard anything since...think I may have to *cough* legally download some tunes of theirs :)

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

by the way The Redwalls & Secret Machines are brilliant....check 'em out

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

the redwalls are great. did they get their name from the brian jacques kids novels?

check out the sunshine underground from leeds as well as The KBC from preston. disco punk with bad ass basslines!

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

The KBC have been promoted by the Paddingtons a lot. They've given them support slots so I have seen them a few times. They are ok. Great bunch of lads. The Paddingtons and Hard Fi are the best bands IMHO. F/b The Cribs. Kaisers is a great album, poor live, ditto Franz, Ordinary Boys etc... The Paddingtons are probably the best live band in Britain right now. They are playing a gig with the Dirty Pretty Things next month.

The Libs were great, saw them loads, first UK tour, supporting Supergrass, all their own headline UK tours, with Pete, without Pete, with Pete again and finally without him a second time. A secret gig at Liverpool's Zanzibar one night where they blew everyone away was the best. Only the Padds match them.

Re: The best bands of the last 2 years
 

In two words, The Music

OOOh yes yes yes yes, Harvey & Nutter for King & Queen of England (even if they are from Leeds) Then special mention to the Rakes, Yeah YEah Yeahs, Artic Monkeys, The Rapture, Arcade Fire & Guiillemotts, Oh & the Kooks
