Hey guys, I've always loved listening to that sort of artsy/indie/electro/post-revival rock. I've been neglecting this genre for a while and now getting back into it, except I don't know what's new and what's good at the moment.

The kind of bands I'm talking about:

Artic Monkeys
Belle & Sebastian
Bloc Party
Kaiser Chiefs
Kasabian
Kings of Conveinience
Klaxons
The Kooks
The Libertines
Maximo Park
Muse
OASIS
Razorlight
Richard Ashcroft/The Verve
White Rose Movement
The View

Can you guys possibly name any more? Much Help appreciated.

i listen to some of those bands, too (:

anyways, here's more:

(italics are 2007 releases)

here's some british bands:
art brut
babyshambles
badly drawn boy
the fratellis
guillemots
mystery jets

some artsy bands:

arctic monkeys - best band in the effin world at the moment
little flame - they've disbanded but apparently they released an album in june b4 their break-up
the rascals - formed from 2 of the members from little flame
hot chip
pintshotriot
the draytones
the enemy - they're pretty big right now
blood red shoes
the cribs
dirty pretty things - carl barat's band after he left libertines
the duke spirit
the futureheads
the good, the bad and the queen - damon albarn's supergroup project along with paul simonon from the clash
howling bells - actually australian but are based in the uk
little barrie
little man tate
mark ronson - his new album 'Version' is a remix of popular uk tracks like Kaiser Chief's Oh My God and Radiohead's Just
the music - i recommend their song 'cessation' it's killer
the rakes
the young knives - post-punk revival band from Leichestershire

these are all reasonably new bands.. and if you need any australian indie rock bands, don't hesitate to ask cos i've got heaps.

i reccommend you check out NME magazine or even just the website cos they've got heaps of unsigned/indie bands from the UK that fit your tastes perfectly.

snow patrol was firstly an indie band but they are sort of more alternative rock now

arent there alot of these brit/indie rock band threads already?


yum..i love simian mobile disco. gotta love the track 'we are your friends' with JUSTICE. JUSTICE is awsome

someone forgot to mention The Horrors.

oh yeah The Horrors! i recently just listened to their 'Strange House' album and i bloody love it. at first i didn't get into them, mainly cos i was put off with their image cos i thought 'just another emo band'. but i was wrong, so never judge a band by their front cover or their looks.... whatevs.

i love the video for Simian Mobile Disco & Justice 'we are your friends'. it's hilarious when they realise the situation they're in!

I'm not much of a help at all.. but i love everyone in this thread!

Fall out boy
Panic! At the disco
CSS
Say anything
Shiny Toy Guns
Paramore
The sounds
Tokio Hotel
Yeah yeah yeahs
Baby Shambles
30 second to mars
boys like girls
Billy talent
The academy is...
The cribs
Hellogoodbye
Hot hot heat
Klaxons
New young pony club
Plain white t's

the bold ones are my personal favorite indie/rockish/electronica/new rave bands....
