That's pretty much exactly how I describe the majority of the indie scene of this decade!

Listening to Mish Mash by Regurgitator... damn good, fun punchy pop / rock with a splash of some hip hop, even!

When i was in my early teens and naive and fancied myself as some kind of mod

i used to listen to Weller and The Jam a lot and to be honest i'm not sure if i've listened to them since. This album was always my favourite though, it really is fantastic. I may have to dig this one out.

We've been doing it all wrong man, all wrong.

Bunch of kooky neo-pagans jamming in a cave before their next bloody raid? Thank you very much Wotan.

Since I've been seeing stuff about ...And So I Watch You From Afar's s/t, I thought I'd add this in here:

This Is Our Machine and Nothing Can Stop It was one of my first post rock albums, and it's a damn good one at that. These guys can be pretty vicious when they want to.

I remember downloading that album a month ago and hearing it then, and not liking it. I got extremely surprised today, it's really good.

I like it better than S.F. Sorrow.

Lagwagon - Let's Talk About Feelings

One of my favorite 90s pop punk/melodic hardcore bands. I played Hoss and Double Plaidinum earlier, this now. The last of the classic era, though their last two from this decade weren't bad.
