Good British Rock Bands

SonicBebs · 08.15.2008, 03:14 AM

I'm finding hard to think of good current British Rock bands.
Obviously we've had loads in the past but right now we're looking bleak

I got
Mogwai
Super Furry Animals (sort of current)
PJ Harvey
Elbow (? i mean they've gone a bit funny now, but the 1st 2 albums were stunning. And everyone loves a fat cheery northerner dont they?)
Spiritualized

but other than that i'm blank
help me out? i'm not exactly on the pulse these days so what am i missing

Radiohead

Mogwai are Scottish.

Death & the Maiden · 08.15.2008, 03:49 AM

I'm pretty sure in the context it implied England.

Hahaha, the merozwb jokes are easily getting an instant classics here.
I'd rep you but I can't.

MellySingsDoom · 08.15.2008, 05:13 AM

Ramleh
PJ Harvey
Radiohead
The Fall (still going strong!)
Godzilla Black

On the more metal/doom end:

Anaal Nathrakh
Moss
Electric Wizarrd (still good, if not as genius as they once were)
Jesu

I used to like Hood and Disco Inferno quite a lot. Both bands dysfunctional now.
Now I dig Rameses III and Gareth Hardwick much more.

I'd say that the Doom scene is the only place where British Rock seems to be making any kind of impact at the moment. And even there it seems to be becoming less and less interesting by the hour.

I hate this country.

DeadDiscoDildo · 08.15.2008, 06:02 AM

The fucking Band of Bees.

It's happening now, you time capsul sluts.

T&B - Great call on The Heads - I totally forgot about them.

blunderbuss · 08.15.2008, 06:55 AM

This is a tough one, seeing as I wouldn't consider any of the bands in the original post to be rock.

If asked for a decent British ROCK band, rather than indie rock, I'd nominate Capricorns.
