I’ll take recommendations from anyone, but it seems like mlk always knows what the next great band is gonna be before I do. I’m mainly looking for British bands, seems as though half my music collection is British. Here are some that I already have/know of: Arctic Monkeys Babyshambles (is there a full length album yet?) Bloc Party Coldplay Doves Franz Ferdinand Kaiser Chiefs Kasabian Nine Black Alps (who I heard of from mlk) Oasis Radiohead Razorlight Steadman Supergrass The Frames (I’ve only heard “Fake”. How’s their other stuff?) The Libertines The Poor Kids With Guns (someone’s band from here @ kirupa) Thanks for any ideas! ---

Surely you’ve heard albums from Blur, right? Or Gorillaz? ---

[British Sea Power](http://www.britishseapower.co.uk/) [Editors](http://www.editorsofficial.com/) [Interpol](http://www.interpolnyc.com/) - Not British but very good. Check out the bass line in ‘Evil’. [Feeder](http://www.feederweb.com/) ---

Keane, The Streets, Maximo Park (very nice), Kings of Leon, Stereophonics. If you want to break out of the cycle a bit, check out The Vines and definitely Wolf Mother: [www.wolfmother.com](http://www.wolfmother.com). ---

the first Strokes album (“Is This It?”) was seen by many as ‘the’ album to bring back that kind of rock sound, and you seem to like other bands that have built upon it… ---

I’ve got Blur, Gorillaz, Kings of Leon (one of my favs), all the Strokes stuff and Maximo Park. What style is The Streets? I almost purchased one of their albums but then I read a review that mentioned hip-hop to an extent. Any better explanation? I’ve heard good things about British Sea Power but haven’t actually heard their music either. Will definitely check them out. Thanks for all the ideas, keep 'em coming! ---

The Streets (which is actually just Mike Skinner) are garage rap/hip-hop. However, it’s not your typical rap so listen to them before dismissing them altogether. > **[The Streets | Listen and Stream Free Music, Albums, New Releases, Photos,...](https://myspace.com/thestreets)** > > The Streets's profile including the latest music, albums, songs, music videos and more updates. ---

If your going to get a [Streets](http://www.the-streets.co.uk) album, go for ‘A Grand Dont Come For Free’. Clearly the best yet. Though you cant pass up the first one, ‘Original Pirate Material’ and the last [third] 'The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living. ---

Yeah definitely The Strokes. I bought all 3 albums in one day at the same time :). But my favorite band ever is lostprophets. New album (I think its called Liberation Transmission) due out June 27th… [dragonninja.com](http://dragonninja.com) for songs… > **[Lostprophets | Listen and Stream Free Music, Albums, New Releases, Photos,...](https://myspace.com/lostprophets)** > > Lostprophets's profile including the latest music, albums, songs, music videos and more updates.
