no they are, just.. i dunno. It seems here in America, people are too caught up with the latest music fashion. Not that britain doesnt, its just seen more here due to population, and media access.

If Times New Viking actually fits into that chronological progression I feel that I'm going to have to check them out.

Moon Pix

Theyre absolutely incredible. There stuff is tuneful and melodic but the recording style is even more lo-fi and trashy than Confusion Is Next, very similar to the Electric Eels recordings. Check out their myspace.

I'm just listening to "We Got Rocket" and it is a really good song. I'll have to find out where I can get more.

I just went out on a limb and ordered their 7" split with some other band. Hell, it wasn't a very large limb since it was only $4. Should be worth it.

... well yeah, but in the way its an integral part of soceity, id imagine America takes things much more seriousley. Of course Britain has the Chavs, we have mallgoths per say, but mallgoths are more inspired by what they see on the tv, not the area surronding them.

your joking. Britian is pretty much america's 51st state and the two countries share more in common culturally then you seem to think. Both are pretty much run by the media, societies are told what to do via over-exposure and unfortunatly music is part of that. In britian at the moment you either have foppy punk revivalist bands trying their best to emulate the libertines, indie-pop groups churning out as many singles as possible to make money, so-called 'big' bands releasing sh!t albums or terrible metalcore bands. All the decent british bands arent given the time of the day because at the end of the day, they dont have mass appeal thus they'll make less money for the industry. my mum and dad chose the wrong time to concieve me.

The British media has a much bigger hype machine than we do when it comes to music. That's why every year they have a new band that they obsess over and act like their album is going to be the second coming of christ in disc form (Arctic Monkeys Etc...) and most of these bands end of being average at best.

to be fair i think i think the arctic monkeys are on of the better 'hyped' bands we've had in recent years. What you say is very true, over here the media seem so desperate for a new golden age in british music they'll hype anything with a couple of catchy singles, a good image and semi-decent ability.
