Your favourite British bands right now?

[AUDIOJUNKIES]

I'm sick of British bands. Seriously. Our bands bore the fuck out of me right now. Id rather listen to Danish Punk. You americans lap up all of our bands, even the shit ones! Your bands are so much better... why do you get all anglophile over us when you have the quality right at home to compete and beat us?

why!!!

[RotationSlimWang]

Um, dude is asking what American bands we're into, not British. Their website is trying to recruit some American contributors to get a perspective on what the music scene is like over here. There's a thread about it.

[thinnerair]

but the question was 'Your favourite British bands right now"

[RotationSlimWang]

Hmm... you might have a point. Alright, withdrawn.

[Saul T. Nads]

Terence Trent Darby

[Deviate_420]

Tiesto is the greatest export Europe has right now.

It's all about Israeli punk and French Hip Hop. This fucking Indie Rock shit has to go.



Except for the Doves..

[RotationSlimWang]

God, shut the fuck up, Deviate. Only fags and junkie suicides like Tiesto.

[Deviate_420]

lolz. You're just pissed because your parents gave you the worst name in the history of names or parents.

[C DUB YA]

Well the majority (overwhelmingly) of what I listen to is British. I have around 6000-7000 cd's and I'd guess 75% of those are British.

My Fave Brit bands (just a few, hehe, off the top of my head) Oh and I like Hard Fi's first record, but there's only a couple a tracks off the new one that are decent. Stereophonics are over-rated, but decent.

Jed, it's Stef, not Steph. That's why I stopped posting at Audiojunkies.

Also, sonicflyer are really only half-British. Just sayin'.

[RotationSlimWang]

do you guys like Hard Fi? I hope not. Stereophonics are shit....

I like how British people say "[they] are shit." I don't think we have that here. We'll say they're shitty, but not actual shit. Is funny.

Do you Brits think that we actually give a fuck about Hard Fi over here? I promise you we don't. They had a single, it was a tiny bit popular--even I liked it--and that was the end of them. They made a big mistake by cancelling their Coachella date though.
