really, i cant tire of saying that "Plain Forgot" is INCREDIBLE.
The Beatles
That's that band where they're tied into a label contract they can't escape, and the label in question has refused to release any of their records for the last 36 years... is that correct or am I thinking of someone else?
I know about them :)
and know the drummer (kind of) - ha ha!
that was to seiko_bleeps
by the way. about nakeru.
I really enjoyed Shapes and Sizes
Kid_A and bamos in "speak truth" shocker

DIASTOLE and THE PRIORY
www.myspace.com/diastoleuk
Awful name, brilliant band. Listen to 'Leave Yourself Here' and weep.
www.myspace.com/thepriory
My band have played with them quite a few times, they do the incredibly intense Joy Division thing without being at all retro or making you want to punch them. And the tunes are fantastic.
I'd say
Eagle*Seagull. As far as I am aware, they do not indulge in Myspace wankery.

Friendstealer
Incredibly talented 38-year-old singer-songwriter from Philadeplphis who's recorded over 100 albums and EPs of astonishing music without ever making an effort to send it to people. Recently has done. Has blown people away. Now releasing music on Powertool in NZ.
Some of the most instantly affecting and human music I've ever heard. If it sounds a bit lo-fi for your tastes, check out Pigfoot, a more fully-formed side-project.
