London's The Mules compose some neat rockabilly, folk, electrobilly music. They've released a few singles, an EP and a full length on Organ Grinder Records and they tour the UK often. I don't think they've spent any time in the US, but I would like to see them and their lead singer/drummer. Check out these songs.

Bloc Party is one of my favorite bands of the last few years. In February of '05 I saw them at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and Seal (yes, "Kiss From A Rose" Seal) was there belting out lyrics to every song. And that's when I knew I needed to move away from LA. Just kidding! Check out some remixes!

This Brighton duo craft some pop gems sounding pretty much like what their name would lead you to believe. They just released their third full length, No Need To Be Downhearted, on Better Looking Records.

Gallows are a punk band from the UK. There's a band called The Bronx who released a really great debut album, The Bronx. Then they released their sophomore effort, The Bronx, on a major label. I'm sure that second album title alone gives you some insight into their creativity flow. Anyway, Gallows sound akin to the first The Bronx record and I hear a little Drive Like Jehu in there as well, which is awesome. I never saw these guys perform at sxsw (venue too far away), but I saw them at a few different shows and they seem like a fun bunch. Listen to these songs if you need some energy! They don't make punk rock like they used to.

This Cardiff 7-piece is overflowing with the fun. Akin to Architecture In Helsinki, but less, um, whimsical maybe? Not really sure if a word has been invented to differentiate each group, but they are definitely uniquely their own. And they have friends at Arts & Crafts and Wichita Records, witch is definitely a good thing. These guys have earned every single bit of their exclamation point!!!!!!!!

Los Campesinos! - We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives
This song is extra fresh and my new mantra for this little blog thing. Definitely be sure to check out the video - you won't be disappointed. I wish a track like this would go over as well in the states as in the UK, but I'm not sure we're there yet. Like it!
