"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?

I like New Found Glory. Also Saliva is alright and Sum 41 are good. Staind are also pretty new.

Not sure how new they are, but I heard a couple of tracks from a band called "South".

Kind of Stero MC's, Stone Roses sort of vibe.

Worth checking out.

Also, for heavier stuff, a band the I found out about on here called "The Union Underground" who aren't too bad.

I take it you mean matchbox 20 (fronted by rob Thomas) They have been around a while but their first album is really really good. Also if you can download some of their acoustic stuff.

Some UK hip-hop is pretty good, some of it reeks.

Blade has been underground for over a decade now, but since he got together with Mark B (the producer/DJ) he's getting more and more well known.

"The Unknown" is, in my opinion, one of the finest hip-hop albums of the past couple of yeards, regardless of country.
Blade has phenomenal skills, and doesn't fake a US style or accent (anyone remember The Kaliphz?).

Awesome break-beats, samples from anywhere and everywhere, and one track has the theme tune from The Taking of Pelham 123 on it.
ANY song that uses that funky 70s tune has got to be worshipped.

Seriously though mate, if you're into hip-hop then get "The Unknown" by Mark B & Blade, you will not regret it.

And as Dr Gonzo said, Mull Historical are pretty good as well.
I've heard "Bycode Bypass" and "Animus Canibus" (did I spell that right?), I'm not too sure of the title of that one but I have heard it, they play it on Xfm a lot.

Fenix TX and New Found Glory are preety good, there not amazingly new but there newish
