nothing for me on your list John...
but I'm still gutted to have missed Agaskodo Teliverek at la cité de la musique a few months ago...
radical face
are one of my favourites too at the moment. "Wrapped in piano strings" is amazing.
Lyle the Sleeping Years are amazing
I bought there second EP but they sent me a blank disk by mistake so I got a promo copy of the first cd for free! I've been listening to the first one loads... It's ace, haven't really got round to the second one yet, is it as good?
Thank you for recommending them in the past.
Although I'm not the biggest fan of
Promise and the monster or This is pop.
This is pop are great live
and Promise and the monster is a bit dark folk by number but I like her !
Second Sleeping Years EP is maybe just a little less great than the first !
Or maybe I haven't listen to it enough yet !
great bands that I recommend

mrfist
wwwmyspace.com/mrfisty www.myspace.com/mrfistsuck haha JAG by me here
.
Bodies Of Water www.myspace.com/bodiesofwater
(like Arcade Fire, Polyphonic Spree, Delgados, Tilly & The Wall spliced together)
Breathe Owl Breathe
www.myspace.com/breatheowlbreathe
(Kinda Smog-like, but no songs from their cool new album are on their myspace)
Slaraffenland
www.myspace.com/slaraffenland
(Danish greatness. Listen to 'Polaroids first')
Wet Nose Hero
www.myspace.com/buysabear
(Lovely female singer. Joanna Newsom-esque? Probably not, but nice distinctive voice. I've ordered her cd directly from her for a pittance of a price, so am looking forward to that.)
The Young Republic
www.myspace.com/theyoungrepublic
(on End Of The Road records, really really looking forward to their album).
slaraffenland sound ace !
Denmark and Norway are where it's happening at the moment...

http://www.myspace.com/ellemilano
time space repeat
are ace !
Aye
They have a download release out soon, look out for it.
Esiotrots album
is all I've been listening to recently it really is very very good. Everyone should buy it! Bargain at £5.
..
Of the above:
Fuck Button are really good.
Screaming Tea Party and The Sleeping Years, are potentially not bad for entirely different reasons.
Gemma Quauterman has a cool voice
Catherine Anne Davies is quite ace thanks for that.
Check these 5 out:
1) The Ghost Revolution
http://www.myspace.com/theghostrevolution
They have some very strong songs and are progressing in the right direction..
http://www.myspace.com/glasvegas
Making all the right noises who dares different from the majority and a strong lead vocal.
http://www.myspace.com/infarednet
Very cool band akin Interpol/Editors with whole lot more bite and less contrived. Probably the best unsigned band in the country.
http://www.myspace.com/thesatinpeaches
Hotly tipped to do very well in 2008 by some very influential taste makers and they are not wrong.
http://www.myspace.com/therossmannfristerproject
Just awesome one of the best outfits on my space or any other space. Inspiring!
the first 4 bands
are really bad and sounding like they could be on the NME before the end of the year...
Glasvegas are hideous
the Total Drop sounds fun.
Would love to see them live !
and I think I need to find
that Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring single...

therossmannfristerproject
They are from Sheefield. i'm lead to believe that they are currently rehearsing their live show and working on recording some new tracks. I think one of the tracks has been licensed on an compilation some time in the near future.
and Lyle! old chap the first 4 on my list detest NME with a passion as they are real bands not pretend bands. So when they are ready we DiSers will have heard about them first.
Beat the Devil
www.myspace.com/beatthedevil
Shine In Exile - song of year.
Sorry I can't add more to the list, but I really liked the band Colin's managing, too.
My 2 pence worth
<a
href="http://www.myspace.com/abevigoda ">Abe Vigoda</a> Summery pop with an edge.
<a href="www.myspace.com/youngandrestlessau">Young & Restless</a> When their album drops they are gonna be huge. In the vein of BYOP
<a
href="www.myspace.com/1qa">1QA</a> They do an amazing Jeff Buckley cover.
<a
href="www.myspace.com/shakyhands">The Shaky Hands</a> Had this ablum for a good 4 months now and just can't stop listening to it. Incredible stuff. Album of the Year, IMO.
<a
href="www.myspace.com/playpretty4baby">Play Pretty For Baby</a> Heavier but clever. I love 'Presidents Day'. Great tune.
<a
href="www.myspace.com/thisnightiscreepy">This Night Creeps</a> Again, a little heavier, but they've got an awesome sound. Supported Blood Brothers.
OK
that didn't work. Links still work though...

New bands? good question as I think theres some cracking bands out there at the mo. Some that have really floated my boat when I've seen them live recently / downloaded their tracks include:
http://www.myspace.com/theservantuk
http://www.myspace.com/serotoneband
http://www.myspace.com/theneutrinosinspace
http://www.myspace.com/guster
http://www.myspace.com/vantramp
All quite different but all really good. Check them out - and if you like my recomendations send me some of your own as we probably hav the same tastes!!!!
...
if that's the American Guster, then I'm sure they've been around for about 10+ years. If there's a new band called Guster, then they need a new name.
Check this out
I've just come across this girl Anusha, her old video is one of the featured videos on Myspace but her new video on her page is amazing! Anyone heard it? www.myspace.com/anushamusic
