"Best new Band you've heard lately"

Little American duo called The White Stripes. Brother and Sister, bloke sings badly, woman drums. A mixture of blues, country and rock music, it's really quite fantastic. Any more new bands I should know of?

Just heard an album by a band called Alkaline Trio, it was rather good.

Seafood are damn good. Even if their name is shocking.

"Cloaking" has an awesome bass-line intro
"What may be the oldest" is kinda folky rock in a good way

All the tracks off their new album are fairly good.

Also good, but not very new, are the Dandy Warhols. I was surprised to see their recent album get some heavy plugging after a song got on to the Vodafone ad... Buy their new album, it's a sound investment.

They are'nt really a new band, Just my favourite at the moment, but no-one seems to have heard of them. A band called "Finger Eleven"

The only way I can describe them is feel good rock, with deep dark depressing lyrics (A contradiction in terms i know :).

Best Songs in my opinion - Condensor, first time, drag me down

Murry the Hump are pretty good. I think I've mentioned them before, but hey, what do I know. They're a kind of Welsh, grass roots Pavement. Check them out. They seem to endorse drug-taking though, so don't let your parents hear you listening to them.

Find out about a band called "The Music". Kind of indie type stuff, not a good description I know, sorry.

They've just had the one EP out so far, limited to 1,000 copies, so I couldn't get hold of one.

Another EP is due out before christmas, apparently.

If you can get hold of a track on the 'net, try and get one called "Take the long road" fantastic stuff.

Oh, and everyone should buy everything by US (melodic) hardcore group The Vandals. So much fun.

Aaargh! Why don't people give UK hip hop the respect it deserves. UK Hip Hop is an amazing scene with soem truly outstanding talents.

We've got some of the best producers in the world (The Creators, The Nextmen, Aim and the awesome Skitz) some creative and gifted MC's (Rodney P, Ty, Icepick, Demon Boyz, Lewis Parker, Roots Manuva, Skinnyman, Phi-Life Cipher) and a style of our own without the pathetic posturing of the majority of maistream US rap.

Buy the recent Skitz album and open your eyes. Or indeed, ears.

I do indeed. I refer their first album (yourself or someone like you?) to Mad season. Mainly for the songs, Real world, push and long day. I've got a few of their acoustics on my download queue. But, there's a good 140 songs to download before I get there. Darn 56k.

Best New Band for me are Rival Schools

Brought to us by the guys who used to collectively known as Quicksand and CIV.

Awesome stuff!
